Example scenarios

• Alex, a 35-year-old software engineer, recently relocated to a new city for a job promotion. Despite the career advancement, he's struggling to adapt to his new environment. Six months after the move, Alex still feels isolated and disconnected. He's lost interest in his hobbies, often calls in sick to work, and finds himself unable to make new friends or explore his new surroundings. His performance at work is suffering, and he's considering quitting and moving back home.
• Maria, a 50-year-old teacher, is going through a divorce after 25 years of marriage. While she knows the relationship had become unhealthy, she's having trouble accepting her new reality. Three months after separating, Maria finds herself constantly irritable, snapping at her students and colleagues. She's lost weight due to lack of appetite and often lies awake at night, unable to sleep. Weekends, once a time for family activities, now feel endless and empty.
• Jamal, a 22-year-old recent college graduate, secured his dream job right out of school. However, the transition from student life to full-time work has been unexpectedly difficult. Two months into his new role, Jamal feels overwhelmed by the responsibilities and struggles with imposter syndrome. He's developed anxiety symptoms, including panic attacks before important meetings. Despite his initial excitement, he now dreads going to work each day and is considering quitting without having another job lined up.
