Losing a job hits differently than people expect.
It’s not just about income.
It’s about:
- structure
- identity
- stability
This is for you if…
- You were recently laid off
- You feel lost or ungrounded
- You feel ashamed talking about it
The internal experience
“What do I say when people ask what I do?”
“How long can I stay like this?”
“What if I don’t recover from this?”
If you’re financially responsible
This pressure multiplies.
You might be thinking:
- “I can’t afford to slow down”
- “People depend on me”
- “I need to fix this fast”
You might also relate to
The shame layer
You may not even want to tell people.
Because it feels like:
“I failed.”
If you’re going through this—
You don’t have to navigate it alone.
I offer virtual therapy across Ontario for adults dealing with job loss, pressure, and identity shifts.
If you have workplace benefits, therapy may be covered.
