   Hey Anonymous !

   Congrats on your new job!

   Something that can be super helpful to not re-create a bad experience in a new role is being clear on what happened, process it, feel all the feelings about it, and then rewrite how you want to remember it. Tell a new story to yourself about it. Think about what you learned, how you reacted, how you grew, what you are proud of, how you handled something...

   It's like a dating relationship. If you stay in a state of thinking about how your last boyfriend was crap/did XYZ and you meet a great guy but bring over the bad juju from your last relationship... it will just recreate itself.

   The key here is showing up the way you want to show up , take full responsibility for yourself and manage your mind by deciding ahead of time how you will behave or what you will do if XYZ happens.

   Be very structured. Take notes, ask plenty of questions and try and establish a strong routine so you engage well with your role.

   Stay open to colleagues so there is some sort of bonding. Try not to dwell on the old job. Seek help in letting go with reading helpful articles and watching podcasts to reframe your experience and put it in perspective. Seek therapy if you can't move on.

   I agree with the others and suggest you get excited to restart / refresh and treat this new job to come as starting fresh with a new slate! I would have recommended a career coach but there’s one in the comments who would like you to reach out. Good luck. ?

   Focus on what's in front of you. It will only hold you back at your current job. If there was something you learned that you needed to change from prior to current, make that change. Can't control the past but you are at the wheel of the present and can either stay on task or derail. It's really up to you. good luck.

   Would suggest talking to a therapist for a short term engagement. Spend some time sorting though your emotions and anything which might be coloring your perception about what happened and how it reflects on you. With the right therapist, you will get a lot out of it, and it shouldn't have to be long term to be effective. Then, a Coach.

   You have to compartmentalize the let go. Visualize yourself letting go and perhaps do something physical that is equivalent to letting go to celebrate your doing so. Think of it as shoes that did not fit and that needed to be discarded or returned back to the store. You would not have wanted to walk further in those shoes because they did not fit. Then walk forward into the new role with renewed energy and remember often a try before you buy is how you know if things will fit for the long term. Good luck!

   Facing challenges like job loss can be difficult, but you've demonstrated your ability to bounce back and persevere. Long-term contract jobs can offer stability and opportunities for growth stumble guys, and they often allow you to gain valuable experience in a specific field.
