Addiction is the excitement of pursuing adventure of work. Aloneness is the tendency to cut oneself off from other people. Adultery sees sex as the ultimate high risk adventure. Type B persons have a greater tendency for emotional burnout. Burnout is the awareness of being demoralized, losing hope, feeling helpless, avoiding people, becoming suspicious, second guessing others, brooding, giving in to discouragement, panicking with new problems, reducing energy, talking of quitting, and paranoia.
Pastors face a tension.
If they cut themselves off from others they are in greater danger of burnout. If they share problems with others, they are considered weak. There is an appropriate amount of grieving for every loss in your life. Purposeful nature of burnout. When we come to a halt in our life, if we are at least disposed toward it, the Lord at least has our attention.
