Unemployment/Retrenchment
Losing your job
means more than losing an
income. It usually means
loss of identity, loss of face,
and loss of social
contact. Responses can
include lack of self-esteem,
depression, lack of motivation
(even to get up in the morning),
lethargy and
irritability. Often the
people closest to you become the
target of your
anger.
Focus
on things under your
control
Counseling can
help you put things back into
perspective. By helping you
focus on the things that are in
your control, rather than
remaining depressed about those
things that are not, counseling
will help you restore a belief in
yourself and your inherent and
proven
abilities.
