IF YOU ARE UNEMPLOYED, OR MAY BE UNEMPLOYED AT SOME TIME IN YOUR LIFE, THIS WEBSITE IS FOR YOU.

Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds. (FDR)
VIRGINIA BOLA, PsyD

What is my goal?

This Website will help you make it through the nightmare of unemployment. The initial fears may be financial but the deeper and more destructive impact is on your psyche: your emotions, your self-esteem, your view of yourself and the world.

You tell yourself, over and over, "I have to get a job."    Every time you think that phrase, you dig yourself deeper into a black hole: your mind goes to work spawning self-destructive, self-defeating, critical, negative patterns and you lose your self-confidence, your self-respect, your belief in your own value.

I cannot give you the job you want.  I cannot make unemployment an easy, stress-free, comfortable condition.

What I can do is to give you the tools to transform a threatening predicament into something positive:   a chance to start over, to change yourself for the better, to take this time for what it can be -- an opportunity for self-exploration and personal growth.
