Political frustration: when your voice doesn't seem to count

Feeling that decisions are made over your head? What marginalisation and political frustration do to you, with questions to reflect on.

Society and culture

You feel that your voice doesn't count and decisions are made over your head.

How it can show up

You feel that decisions are made without people like you.
The news leaves you frustrated or resigned.
You wonder whether your voice counts at all.
The frustration spills over into your own plans.

Questions for you

There are no right answers. Take the question that stays with you.

Where in your immediate surroundings can you have a say and make a difference?
How much space does the news take up in your day, and is that good for you?
Which of your plans are suffering from the frustration right now?
What gives you hope despite everything?

What coaching can do

Political questions are not a coaching topic, and this website takes no position on them. If the frustration paralyses your own plans, coaching can help with your next personal step.

When other help fits better

If the frustration turns into hopelessness and weighs heavily on you emotionally, talk to a doctor or a licensed psychotherapist.

If it is too much right now

Coaching is not psychotherapy and not a crisis service. If you are in danger or thinking about harming yourself, contact the emergency services where you are right away, or a crisis service near you.
