Burnout Retreat in Thailand
Relax and Recharge in the Tropics
You were once on fire about your job, passionate about your career and eagerly looking forward to your goals. But now, it feels all but impossible to get up and go to work in the morning. Your energy is drained; your creativity is thwarted; you feel physically unwell. This is burnout.
Burnout can happen to anyone, but is especially common among executives, entrepreneurs and others with demanding, high-pressure jobs. It doesn’t happen overnight, but rather is the accumulation of long-term stress and the product of your environment, and if it’s not correctly addressed, it doesn’t go away easily either. Overcoming burnout requires life changes that support a sustainable relationship with your work – and with yourself.
The Dawn’s professional burnout retreat and burnout therapy programme gives you an opportunity to shift out of overwhelm, gain some perspective and put healthy habits in place, so you can return to your life feeling clear-minded, happy and productive.

Signs and Symptoms of Burnout
Burnout often takes hold before you know what hit you – but if you know what signs to watch for, you’ll be able to see it coming and take the necessary steps to keep it at bay.
- Anxiety – You might feel hyper-alert and jumpy, constantly worry about the future, or play out worst-case scenarios in your head.
- Depression – You may feel guilty about your diminished performance at work or other areas of your life, leading to lowered self-esteem. Depression is a dangerous disorder – if you find yourself feeling hopeless or contemplating suicide, seek professional depression help right away.
- Sleep disturbance – You may have a hard time falling asleep or wake up in the middle of the night. You feel restless at night and sleepy during the day. This gets progressively worse as burnout intensifies.
Effects of Untreated Burnout
The prolonged stress of being in a state of burnout can lead to a number of problems, such as:
It’s easy to see how the effects of burnout can get out of hand and bleed over onto other areas of your life. Fortunately, however, burnout is highly treatable.

We take an effective approach to burnout recovery by combining evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapies with holistic wellness treatments.
Comprehensive Cognitive Therapy
Our compassionate counsellors help you tackle the causes of burnout at their core via cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), which help you to recognise and correct your negative thought patterns, and teach you skills to cope with and change unhealthy behaviours.
We also use cutting-edge methods like neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to help you regain control of your thoughts and emotions, and trauma release exercises (TRE) to help you safely and effectively relieve deep muscular patterns of stress you’ve been holding in your body.
Burnout frequently drives users to self-medicate with anti-anxiety medications. We also offer integrative treatment for behaviors that occur with burnout.
Holistic Wellness Treatments
Holistic therapies are proven to bolster your recovery success and make your treatment experience more enjoyable. We aim to provide you with a positive and memorable retreat experience, so that your relationship with your new practices is something you’ll happily carry with you into your daily life when you leave. Our wellness therapies include:
