Burnout is one of the characteristic modes of illness of our times. Receiving increasing attention in organizational, social, clinical, and academic spheres, the topic has been the subject of important studies, primarily following a quantitative approach. This research aimed to describe the experience of Burnout from the lens of existential phenomenology, unveiling how the experience affects the existence of those who live through it. The method used was an empirical exploratory investigation with a qualitative phenomenological case study approach, interviewing two people who experienced Burnout. To conduct the interviews, a triggering question was used: "How would you describe yourself during the process of Burnout?" The results were analyzed by developing four meaning categories that, in conjunction with Heideggerian existentials, revealed the fields of meaning from which the phenomenon was lived. They were: 1. Being-for-work: selfrecognition through the profession; 2. Stress: the urgency to meet all demands; 3. The state of Burnout as existential deprivation and the onset of anguish; and 4. The experience of therapeutic care and the recovery of possibilities of being. Using Heideggerian notions of being-in-the-world, authenticity and inauthenticity, temporality, and stress, aspects of the phenomenon in the interviewees' experiences were discussed, emphasizing the importance of reclaiming an authentic relationship of the human being with their project of meaning in the world
