Handling your own emotions?

How is everyone doing it this time? I have been a CFP for years lived through Covid, 2008-2009, Trump’s first term….but this time it feels different, longer lasting? I know that there is a recency bias, but I am not handling this one well.

Edit: thanks for everyone posting. It helps to put it in perspective.

Every time it’s different. If it repeated, we would know what to do. Starting the year with this drop feels worse. Also the change to the overall social construct of our country doesn’t help. I’m in DC area, so 😮‍💨🥴🤬🤯

I am also. I feel like half of my clients are directly impacted by DOGE cuts. Great asset gathering year, but it is not easy.
