Since COVID-19 changed work, academia and fun, adapting has required new attitudes, aptitudes, environments and a lot more support from IT. Operational matters like a late client or change of seating occur in the marketplace all the time and are expected, tolerated. But, the virtual meeting, printer or bad link require the support of an IT Professional and everyone feels the friction when there is a technology delay. As the demands rise, screen stress increases and appreciation dries up, burnout and compassion fatigue can create trauma for those we look to in IT. In fact, both will also bring up old trauma. The body keeps the score on trauma, needs and burnout, even if we warrior past the pain.
Burnout indicators can be:
Numbness
Tearful
More easily agitated
Change in appetite
Change in sleep
Attention span decreased, harder to focus
Crave sugar or alcohol
It’s harder to experience pleasure, fun or life in general

Our mental healthcare services for IT Professionals helps individuals and their families regulate and communicate in the face of disconnection. Instead of excusing the dramatic change in the social contract we help IT Professionals cope and reunite so the screen stress is treated through whole person care. Strong feelings of discontent, loneliness and isolation can be paralyzing when faced alone. Desensitized individuals have a hard time talking about feels and an even harder time practicing coping skills. While we all love the conveniences of post industrial age life and we are thankful for technology conveniences, divided families and apathy need extra attention for those in IT.
