Loss of Career or Job

When Work and Identity Collide

Losing a job can trigger grief, fear, or shame. Your career may have felt like part of who you are — it’s natural to mourn that.

What Helps

• Name the loss and talk about it
• Set small goals for rebuilding confidence
• Seek emotional and practical help
• Remember: your worth isn’t defined by a job title

Example:
After redundancy, Sam felt lost; speaking with one of our professionals helped him see his skills in a new light.
