Psychological strategies to deal with job loss

Briefly News spoke to psychologist Paula Quinsee who shared some psychological strategies to deal with job loss.

Quinsee discouraged someone who has lost their job from bottling their emotions. She emphasised that it is healthier to accept and process them.

"Going through a job loss can evoke a range of emotions such as shock, anger, shame, and fear of the future. While this is normal as our survival mindset kicks in, we shouldn’t supress what we are going through, rather we should normalise feelings and acknowledge that grief and self-doubt are normal and to be expected, and that this does not make us a failure," Paula Quinsee explained.
