Hey y’all. I went through an exceptionally traumatizing experience a few years ago that has totally & utterly shattered my confidence, self worth, self esteem etc. I have a hard time portraying my work experience + deserving of a new role.

For context, I did well in uni, got into law school but due to finances + the experience in question I didn’t end up going. Kept working in the public sector as a coordinator & now got my scrum master certificate to transfer to SM role in finance/ tech. Help

thank you kindly.😊

I'm really sorry that happened, so many of us have been there. I know I have. It will stall your career and keep you a stuck trying to subconsciously prove the trauma lies out.For immediate help, some anti anxiety medication may help to remedy the physical reactions if you have them, and then, have you thought of hypnotherapy? This is faster than typical therapy so you'll see results quicker and can go right to the heart of the the traumatic incident and reframe the negative take aways. You're not completely out of control like the TV shows make it appear, just lightly or deeply relaxed is all. A certified hypnotherapist is ideal and many take client's on skype or zoom.

thank you kindly for your words. I’ve heard & want to try hypnotherapy & rapid transformation therapy. Same thing essentially but it gets through the very root of the traumatic experience & conducted by the world renowned therapist. The problem is the finances at this time from being off work. It’s a vicious cycle but I’m taking in as much free content. Last night I applied to Dr. Gabor Maté’s Wisdom of all Trauma course & excited to start it today.

I’m hoping with that + mock interviews I’m able to progress in my career.

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
