Therapy For Those Suffering from Job Loss
The economic recession has taken its toll on many marriages as stress and financial concerns overcome the daily emotional needs of couples. As more and more people are finding themselves out of work, often for the first time in their lives, they are also finding new emotional vulnerabilities that are cutting them to the core. Therapists are working hard to help those individuals whose self esteem and self worth have been decimated by layoffs, and whose marriages are suffering from depression and stress.
Therapy for Job Loss
When someone loses their job they often feel as if they have lost a part of their identity. In a culture where career is so important, many people have begun to feel that they are what they do and if they are doing nothing then they feel as if they are nothing. This is very difficult for individuals to deal with on a personal level and it also affects their relationships with others.
Lashing Out and Feeling Scared
Feeling vulnerable and scared can make most anyone lash out in anger, defending themselves from whatever unseen hurt might newly come their way. It is a common reaction and has to be dealt with, understood and then changed before it becomes more serious.
Finding Help
Couples are facing mounting debt, job loss, and in many cases losing their homes, which only makes their feelings of self worth and fear stronger. It is a crisis that has not been seen on this level in generations and therapists are working hard to reach out to those who need help and counsel them and their families to finding new self worth and new beginnings.
