Why We Worry About Losing Our Job Even When We Didn't Like It Bashny.Net

The problem of unemployment has existed in all years, but recently it has seriously worsened. Some companies went bankrupt, others cut staff, and others cut salaries and bonuses. Many people were left not only without money, but also without understanding the How to Find a Good Job.

It is believed that after dismissal, a person not only loses income, but also experiences a serious shock. He faces a loss that must be properly endured in order to cope with stress and not slide to the bottom. Even if you didn’t like your previous job. But how do you turn layoffs into a point for further growth?



Psychologists assure that dismissal is a loss that must be properly experienced. In many ways, a person’s reaction depends on how much he has learned by this moment to experience a variety of losses and failures: the loss of a favorite toy in childhood, goodbye to friends when moving to another kindergarten (or school), parting with first love.

Small and large losses in the life of every person. They happen in childhood and at a more mature age. And the way we go through those losses, the experiences we gain and how bravely we face the circumstances determines our future. Experts say that dismissal is one of these losses.



He who had the strength to go through losses for real, to live them, and not to hide his head in the sand, he learned to survive every time. He already knows that after each shock you need to stop and let yourself catch your breath, says family psychologist and author of books Ekaterina Sivanova.

“You’ve probably seen people who change partners in a relationship without interruption. They do not give themselves a break: only finished some relationships, immediately enter into others. And that's where the next ones end. More pain, deeper abyss. But man does not stop, and therefore does not have time to understand what he did wrong.”

“Without burning one loss, without experiencing it or accepting it, it is as if a person declares that it means nothing to him. As a result, it turns out as in a fairy tale: the less we want to meet with a forest monster, the shorter paths to it we choose. Something similar happens with job loss.”



The specialist is sure that dismissal is not only a loss of income and a change in social status. This is a personal crisis, a turning point in life. And on the actions of a person at this moment depends on his future.

“You can compare it to a disease. Imagine that a person has a high temperature, consciousness is clouded, and a wet cloth on his forehead dries instantly. Then he sweats a lot and the disease literally comes out. At night there was a crisis, in the morning comes recovery.

“If in a state of crisis you run on walls, throw off wet rags, reject medicines and water, then you will not recover,” said Ekaterina Sivanova.



Therefore, experts see the personal crisis after dismissal as an opportunity for further growth. After all, any shock makes you rethink your life, appreciate what happened to you recently.

New work inevitably brings change. Some people change and learn through pain and suffering, others through inspiration and joy. Many people choose the first way. But if change is perceived as a temporary inconvenience, the second path becomes obvious.



Why should you go to a psychologist if you’re worried about being fired? The fact is that a person in difficult moments needs support from the outside. The specialist is always able to take the position of an observer to show the client the situation from the outside. And with him will find a way out of the situation. It's like going to the doctor for acute toothache. You can't put it off.



Working on yourself and your mistakes will never be in vain. Therefore, further job search will be more meaningful and more likely to give a good result. Therefore, do not be afraid to take a pause to allow yourself to catch your breath and think about everything.
