Being let go is rarely just about a paycheck; it is a profound disruption of your identity and security. When managers aren't trained to handle these moments skillfully, the result is often "termination trauma." Even in the best-case scenarios, losing a job triggers a unique form of grief that can leave you feeling stuck, paralyzed, or resentful. Why This Matters for Your Career The weight of a bad exit doesn't stay at your old desk; it follows you. If left unaddressed, that "trauma energy" can leak into your interviews and follow you into your next role, impacting your confidence and how you show up for new opportunities. To be truly marketable, you have to work through the baggage. In this class, we will talk about the trauma, understanding that you aren't alone, that the person who had to let you go might also be struggling, and some ways to overcome so you don't bring it into your next job.
