Your guide
to recovery

We take you by the hand and guide you out of burnout and chronic stress, and into a light, easy life. Let us explain:

When you find out that you’re suffering from chronic stress or burnout, there’s only one thing that you want: to get back to a light, stress-free life as quickly as possible. But how do you do that?

Chronic stress or burnout can be identified by:

You feeling down or depressed for no reason, constantly asking yourself why it’s suddenly so difficult to feel ‘normal’.

You experiencing anxiety and panic at times when you normally wouldn’t – something seems to be wrong with you.

You feeling that you’ve lost control and direction over your life – it feels almost as though ‘someone else’ is deciding what’s happening to you.

Activities in your calendar being ‘too much’ for you and leading to anxiety – you notice that you want to stay at home more often.

You therefore want nothing more than your mind and life to get back to ‘normal’ as quickly as possible. But three things often stand in your way:

You don’t know exactly what you should do in order to get better. You want to do something: but what?

You might have a therapist, but it offers you too little support. You need answers daily.

You feel like you’re on your own. Why doesn’t anyone come to help you?

This makes the recovery process an exhausting, frustrating and sometimes even scary journey. You feel that you’re lost more often than you feel like you know where you’re going. And so in this way, your recovery can take much longer than needed.

Many people suffering from chronic stress or burnout, just want one thing: to get back to a light, stress-free life as quickly as possible. But oftentimes, that’s easier said than done.

Most people with chronic stress or burnout recognize themselves in these symptoms:

You feel anxious more often, often without any real reason. You wonder what is going on with you. It can also be you experience panic more often, or even have panic attacks. Your stress system is trigggered more easily and chances are that you are more on edge than normal.

You experience that appointments in your agenda give you stress, anxiety or panic. You cancel those appointments more often. You notice that a full agenda is simply ‘too much’ for you.

You feel life is going ‘too fast’ for you at the moment. Life feels out of your control, like it is rushing you by. For some weird reason you feel the urge to ‘press pauze.’ Take a break, and bring life to a standstill.

Feeling ‘fine’ is becoming a challenge more and more. For some weird reason, you oftentimes feel down, or even depressed. And so, everyday turns into an exhausting search to find ways to lift your mood, and make yourself feel better. But (almost) nothing works.

This doesn’t have to be the case with you, but many people suffering from burnout or chronic stress also suffer from physical complaints. These can come in the form of ilnesses, but oftentimes these complaints can also be more ‘vague,’ like back pain, neck/shoulder pain, chest pain, heart palpitations, being short of breath, stomach or bowel issues, dizziness/fainting or headaches.

In many cases, burnout or chronic stress is accompanied with sleep-problems. It could be falling asleep has become more difficult, or it could be you wake up during the night, unable to fall back asleep.

You therefore want nothing more than your mind and life to get back to ‘normal’ as quickly as possible. But in many cases, a couple of things stand in the way.

Most people suffering from burnout or chronic stress are ambitious, and/or even over-achievers and perfectionists. So when they’re facing burnout or chronic stres, they want to DO something about it. But what? There’s no handbook, no guide, no map out of this situation. Well, until now, that is.

Therapists are great. But they’re also very busy and pretty expensive. They can offer you an hour of their time twice, three times a month. But you need answer and guidance daily.

When you break a leg, an ambulance will take you to the hospital where doctors will take care of you. But when you suffer from burnout or chronic stress, there’s no-one helping you. No ambulance. No doctors. Nothing. You feel like you have to figure it all out, on your own.

This makes the recovery process an exhausting, frustrating and sometimes even scary journey. You feel that you’re lost more often than you feel like you know where you’re going.

And so in this way, your recovery can take much longer than needed.

SCIENCE

The science behind Camp Burnout

Camp Burnout is a step-by-step program, composed of proven techniques from:

Camp Burnout has been put together based on lessons from people who have already recovered from their chronic stress or burnout. In this way, you can learn how you can get rid of your chronic stress or burnout, speed up your recovery, and prevent making the same mistakes again in the most effective way. In this program, you learn: how you can best manage your energy; how you can prevent things from becoming ‘too much’; and how you can best interact with your loved ones, friends, and family during your recovery.

Chronic stress and burnout are known about very well in the field of psychology. Camp Burnout has collected, filtered and translated that knowledge into patient language and put it in order so that you can easily implement it to your life.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is a form of psychotherapy that teaches you to look at problematic situations, and deal with them, differently. CBT assumes that problems are created and maintained by someone’s thoughts and behavior. Therefore, Camp Burnout gives you CBT exercises in order to help you to challenge your often unrealistic thoughts and behavior.

Camp Burnout makes use of mindfulness and meditation techniques a lot. These techniques and insights are particularly relevant in restoring the disrupted relationship between body and mind. This way, you’ll learn to implement meditation and lessons from mindfulness to your daily life.

What people say
about Camp Burnout

“Day 1 of your method and seven months at home, and I already feel better.”

ANNE – CAMP BURNOUT MEMBER

“I find it a really valuable program. It gives me a lot of insight into and understanding of my process. My husband listens along and that also helps him to understand and support my process. It feels as though someone’s sitting next to you, with an arm around your shoulders, saying ‘I’m going to help you’.”

MARTINEKE OTTE – CAMP BURNOUT MEMBER

“Only gotten through two modules, but I’m already really taken by your approach! It is spot on. So thank you very much for making it. Should a book come out, I’ll order five to give as gifts.”

DION – CAMP BURNOUT MEMBER

“I want to let you know that your program has really helped me. It offered me support, which I, stuck in that valley, really needed. The module about acceptance was particularly meaningful for me.”

SASKIA CREEMERS – CAMP BURNOUT MEMBER

“Dear Camp Burnout Team, I’m so happy that you came my way when I was staggering around at the bottom of my ravine. You have pointed me to where I can find the way out of the ravine. Only now do I get what my psychologist meant.

Where do you know me from? It’s as though you’re speaking directly to me, even the ‘you’ll now be thinking’ comments are exactly what I was thinking at that time… almost scary. After four months of staggering around, I’m happy that, through your Camp, the penny has finally dropped. With help from your modules I can now properly get started. I’m gladly taking your helping, outstretched hand – and I need it. There’s light at the end of the tunnel again. Thank you very much.”

MARIAN PASCHKE – CAMP BURNOUT MEMBER

“I got a burnout and couldn’t get better even with rest and meetings with a psychologist. I then came across your program. It immediately resonated with me. With regard to structure and recognizability, I got exactly what I needed. Now, twelve weeks later, I’ve started building up my work again. Thank you for your fantastic program!

I got a lot out of it and have been able to advise two colleagues who have had the same experience as me to try it out. Much praise for you, and the program simply works! Hats off! Great program! Thank you, thank

SASKIA VAN EGMOND – CAMP BURNOUT MEMBER

“I started Camp Burnout out of pure desperation because I’d been waiting for an appointment with a psychologist for two months. Camp Burnout gave me a foothold and the faith that I really would get one. When I eventually (finally!) got the appointment with the psychologist, she was so enthusiastic about what I had learned about myself and burnout that she recommended I continue following this program as her own modules would be of no added benefit. It looks great, I love it, and I became so calm as a result of the meditation exercises that I sometimes even fell asleep. Now, six months later, I can say that I’ve come far with my recovery, partly thanks to Camp Burnout, because it gave me back my confidence: this too shall pass. Thank you!”

MIRJAN VAN VLIJMEN – CAMP BURNOUT MEMBER

“What I really like about the program is the clear visual and audio fragments. The voiceover is pleasant to listen to and the text is nice and understandable. The subjects and examples are very recognizable and that feels good: you’re not alone and what you feel is normal. The fact that I can decide how many activities I listen to/do each time is also great. I’m very pleased with the program and notice that I’m getting a lot of rest and knowledge from it during my recovery. Thanks for the great program!”

MARIANKA – CAMP BURNOUT MEMBER

“It’s great to have found a program that can explain in ‘simple’ language what’s at play, what’s going on, and what you have to do. No high-brow stuff or difficult words which you didn’t even know existed. Simple, clear and, as a result, very effective for me! Thanks for your wonderful program, I’ve really been helped by it!”

ONLINE RECOVERY PROGRAM

In 5 simple steps, regain a stress-free life

Just as the body will only heal a broken bone when it’s been set in a cast and you walk with crutches, the body will only start to recover from chronic stress or burnout when you meet the Requirements for Recovery. The three Requirements for Recovery ‘unlock’ as it were your body’s internal healing processes. If you don’t unlock your recovery, you could spend a year sitting on the sofa waiting for it while nothing happens.

One of the best ways to make your recovery more effective (and thus shorter) is by creating the ideal conditions for recovery. You do that by following a set of temporary life rules. In the program, we’ll teach you how to create those conditions. These life rules aren’t always the most fun, but if you keep to them, you’ll see your recovery time significantly shorten.

You maybe don’t realize it, but your brain has pushed your body far beyond its limits, and your body is therefor pretty angry at your brain. The disruption of their relationship is causing the majority of your problems at the moment (anxiety, physical pain, feeling down, losing control and much more). In the program, you will learn exactly how you can restore this relationship using simple meditation/mindfulness techniques.

You maybe know that your destructive habits (such as perfectionism, a need for control and over-responsibility) have resulted in you getting chronic stress or a burnout. But what you maybe don’t know is that your habits can also sabotage your recovery process, meaning that it can take much longer than needed and that there’s a constant risk of setbacks. So, one of the best ways to recover more efficiently and sustainably is by changing your destructive habits and views. In the program, you will learn a simple way to confront and alter your views, which will lead to your habits following in turn.

Reintegrating after chronic stress/burnout doesn’t mean going back to your ‘old life’. It means starting a new life. Throughout this step, we’ll help you to do this successfully while at the same time helping you to become an ‘ex-patient’. You’ll discover how you can leave any limitations behind you, give your self-confidence a boost, and learn how to trust your body and mind again.

  • 6 modules, which guide you from your current situation to your reintegration.

  • In total, 39 audio/video lessons, which clearly explain the material, plus two meditation sessions that you can use more often.

  • 24 exercises that help you to practically apply the material to your day-to-day life.

  • In total, more than three hours of audio/video material.

  • Please note: You decide the length of the program; it is designed to assist you throughout your whole recovery process.

Questions you might still have

Camp Burnout consists of 6 modules, which guide you from your current situation to your reintegration. Altogether, the modules consist of 39 audio and video lessons, which take you by the hand, put your mind at ease and teach you everything you need to know and do in order to recover more quickly and efficiently. Alongside that, after almost every lesson, you’ll find an exercise (22 in total) to help you to apply the theory effectively to your situation. Camp Burnout has been specifically developed to be used step by step at your own pace, from your current situation to the end of your recovery.

The only thing you need in order to use Camp Burnout is a smartphone with an internet connection. You can follow the complete program on your phone. Most lessons are audio or video lessons, so go and get comfortable, take a seat or lie down, and get to work on your recovery.

If you feel more down that normal, experience more anxiety or feelings of panic than normal, and feel that you have less control over your life and notice that things are ‘too much’ for you (because they otherwise lead to anxiety), there’s a high chance that you are suffering from chronic stress or burnout. Other symptoms include:

  • Feeling down or depressed
  • Getting stressed and anxious more quickly
  • Insomnia/Trouble sleeping
  • Finding that things quickly get ‘too much’
  • Overwhelm
  • Having a pessimistic outlook on work and life
  • Experiencing no enjoyment in (work) tasks, finding everything a checkbox on a ‘to do’ list
  • Suffering from physical pains or problems
  • Suffering from headaches, stomachaches or bowel problems
  • Neglecting personal needs
  • Increased escapist activities (such as alcohol and drugs)
  • A desire to push ‘pause’
  • Feeling empty and missing feelings of satisfaction
  • Making small problems, big problems
  • Social withdrawal

Of course, this is not an official diagnosis, but these things can all can be a serious indication. Always get a diagnosis from a doctor or psychologist.

At the moment, Camp Burnout costs €89. For this, you get a year’s access to the whole program.

Once you’ve paid, you get a year’s access to the whole program, which you can do at your own pace.

A psychologist and Camp Burnout do two different things. Camp Burnout is a step-by-step recovery program where you get all sorts of lessons and exercises to help you recover along the way. A psychologist, however, is useful to consult periodically about any personal issues that you’ve come across during your recovery. You can therefore use both alongside each other very well. It’s also important to remember that only a doctor or certified psychologist can establish your chronic stress or burnout diagnosis as well as rule out any other potential underlying conditions before you start the recovery process for chronic stress or burnout. We therefore always strongly advise you to get a diagnosis from a medical specialist.

Absolutely. Camp Burnout has also been specifically developed for people suffering from chronic stress. Most importantly, chronic stress and burnout are both part of the same ‘condition’. It’s like having light flu (chronic stress) and heavy flu (burnout).

Camp Burnout is an initiative by Rik Eysink Smeets – international strategy consultant – who got a burnout in 2019 and was surprised by the serious lack of professional guidance and clarity about what you have to do to recover. As a result, he set himself a simple mission: to make the best recovery program for chronic stress and burnout possible.

Camp Burnout has been put together based on lessons and techniques from ex-patients. Effective and proven techniques that others have applied to get themselves out of chronic stress/burnout. These lessons have been checked and founded on current psychological theories. The program therefore includes lessons on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and insights and exercises from the theory of mindfulness.

Moreover, the complete program has been checked and validated by a prominent psychiatrist and academic.

But don’t expect ‘the same’ from Camp Burnout as what you can read in innumerable books on the matter or the same as a psychologist’s or coach’s program. Camp Burnout has been built up around an incredibly clear step-by-step plan. You won’t find any noncommittal tips like ‘go for a walk in nature’ or ‘drink a cup of mint tea’ here. No. We believe that chronic stress/burnout is a medical condition – just like a broken leg, for example – which therefore also calls for an established treatment plan. Or put in another way, a clear, step-by-step plan with things that you have to do in order to get better.

In other words, if you believe that recovery has to remain a vague, personal journey, then this is probably not the program for you. But if you just want to know what you have to DO to get better, start your recovery at Camp Burnout.
