My Imaginary Therapist S2 E1: Layoffs, Loss and Liberation: A Return to Therapy After 9 Months

🎙️ Created, written & performed by: Ellen J. Wanjiru | 🎥 Produced by: Ellen Tha Great Productions, LLC

After 9 months away, the prodigal patient returns — not for drama, but with depth. In this emotional and cathartic session, I open up about the sudden whirlwind that hit my life: losing my job of 11+ years… and then losing my father just weeks later.

What followed? Grief. Ego death. And strangely enough — liberation.

I share how I’m navigating life after loss, rediscovering my voice through creativity, and wrestling with the unfinished autobiography I was co-writing with my dad before his passing. It’s a journey through sadness, rebirth, and the surprising freedom that can come from having everything stripped away.

🖤 In this session:

  • Getting laid off after 11.5 years — and redefining identity

  • Coping with grief and the abrupt loss of a parent

  • How creativity is helping me reclaim purpose

  • Ghosting therapy (sorry, Dr. Joy) and why I finally came back

  • Feeling lost and grounded at the same time

If you’ve ever had your world flipped upside down and somehow found clarity in the rubble, this one's for you.

What’s a loss that unexpectedly shifted your perspective? Share below.
