Understanding Disorientation

Disorientation is a common response to significant life disruptions, where individuals find their reference points and sense of direction challenged. After unexpected political events, many experienced a profound sense of disorientation, highlighted by public figures admitting their inability to predict outcomes. This psychological upheaval often leads to emotional reactions such as anger and confusion as individuals grapple with their perceptions of reality. Recognizing this state of disorientation is crucial for managing one’s emotional responses and eventually moving toward reorientation.
