Chapter 1: The Trauma of Being Fired

When you are fired, it can feel like your whole world has been turned upside down. You may feel shocked, angry, and betrayed. You may also feel like you have lost your identity and your sense of purpose.

The trauma of being fired can be compounded by the fact that women are often socialized to be passive and compliant. This can make it difficult for them to speak up for themselves when they are treated unfairly. As a result, women may be more likely to internalize the blame for their firing.

Chapter 2: The Healing Process

The first step in the healing process is to acknowledge the trauma that you have experienced. This means allowing yourself to feel the emotions that come up, such as anger, sadness, and shame. It is important to give yourself time to grieve the loss of your job.
