Reframe a Major Life Disruption
A job loss, a divorce, a bereavement, a diagnosis. Something has knocked the ground out and you cannot find your feet. This offers a structured reframe that first acknowledges what has genuinely been lost without dressing it up, then helps you find a way forward. It suits anyone in the early fog of a major change.
