What happens in this story4 scenarios
Security watched you pack. Now you're sitting in your car in the parking garage, engine off, staring at nothing. Your hands are still shaking. You have no idea what to do next — and it's only 10am.
What started with the first hour just got more complicated. Now you need to regulate your immediate emotional response to being fired — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Calling your partner or parent with news you can barely say out loud — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
You've faced the hardest part. Now turn what you've learned into something sustainable — a way to regulate your immediate emotional response to being fired not just today, but every time this situation returns.
