The burnout crisis affects us all
Burnouts are no longer a marginal phenomenon. They have become mainstream – and that is alarming. In the Netherlands, the number of workers with burnout symptoms is rising rapidly: from 13.5% in 2014 to no less than 20.1% in 2024. The picture is no different among the self-employed: 11.81% report psychological complaints, stress or burnout. And those who drop out are out of action for an average of one year. The damage? Five to eight billion euros for employers.
In this context, a new professional group has emerged: the burnout coach. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of coaches offer programmes. Some with good intentions, others mainly with a revenue model. But as psychiatrist Christiaan Vinkers states in *De Telegraaf*: “We don't know what works.” We are turning the steering wheel without knowing where the wheels are going.
The feeling of getting stuck, without direction
Those who experience burnout do not feel tiredness, but emptiness. Not tension, but exhaustion. Everything takes effort: shopping, sleeping, thinking. You are physically present but mentally absent. The disconnect between your head and your body is total. As Patrick says in the article: “If I was in the supermarket, I could spend ten minutes pondering whether we still had butter at home.”
And then you find yourself in a forest of coaches. With different visions, qualifications, methods. One swears by walking, another by schedules. Yet another makes you shout in the woods. But real peace? That remains elusive.
What's more, most methods focus on treating the symptoms. Taking a breather, not working for a while, going on holiday. But then what? The underlying patterns often remain intact. The pressure to perform. The inner critic. The disconnect with nature. With yourself.
Perhaps we should learn from nature
What if the solution lies not in more talk, planning or performance... but in slowing down itself?
Microdosing with magic truffles is not a quick fix. But it is a method that is helping more and more people to connect with themselves on a deep level. Not treating symptoms, but expanding consciousness. Not numbing, but connecting. Truffles contain psilocybin, but the entourage effect of all active substances plays an equally important role. They help you feel where your body is failing, your mind is racing and your heart is being ignored.
Global research shows that psilocybin temporarily calms the default mode network (DMN) – the part of your brain that constantly judges, analyses and compares. This creates space. Not to work harder, but to be. And that is often exactly what is missing in a burnout process.
Microdosing XP supplies magic truffles that are cultivated using traditional methods by FreshMushrooms Ltd. The products are 100% natural and produced under strict quality standards. In addition to psilocybin, they also contain other alkaloids, enzymes and nutrients that contribute to their subtle yet powerful effect.
In addition, there are now several user stories from people who overcame their burnout through microdosing. Like Marleen (42), a marketing manager who, after three months of microdosing, returned to work with energy and enthusiasm. “I slowly felt the weight lift off my shoulders. Not all at once, but step by step.”
Time for a conscious burnout reset
Microdosing XP does not offer treatments or therapy. We are not coaches or a clinic. However, we do believe that people are capable of healing themselves, provided they are given the right tools, peace of mind, and knowledge.
When you start microdosing, you actually start living at a different pace. You become more attentive. You feel more. You become more aware of what is really going on. Truffles don't give you answers, but they enable you to ask better questions. Questions such as: “What does my body need?”, “Why do I feel empty?”, and “What is really important to me?”
We support this process with clear information, guidance from our partners and a transparent product line. We do not make promises we cannot keep. But we do know that those who take themselves seriously often find their way back to nature.
