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.
