Workplace stress is a widespread occupational health condition resulting from a chronic imbalance between high job demands and insufficient personal resources or autonomy. Conceptualized in Arnold Bakker and Evangelia Demerouti’s Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model, sustained job demands (excessive workloads, emotional labor, tight deadlines, role ambiguity) without commensurate resources (autonomy, supervisor support, positive feedback) inevitably lead to energetic depletion and emotional exhaustion. Sufferers experience dread on Sunday evenings, chronic mental fatigue, decreased occupational self-efficacy, and progressive cynicism toward colleagues and clients. Crucially, attempting to resolve work stress purely through working longer hours triggers diminishing cognitive returns and accelerates clinical burnout. The Work Stress Self-Counselling Session<\/strong> provides a 13-minute, 9-step psychologist-guided video protocol designed to balance job demands with strategic resources, establish cognitive work boundaries, and reclaim occupational agency.<\/p>\n
