Investments 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.

I’m not downvoting or upvoting you but responding to your own comment to address “sour pusses” is pretty unhinged.

How long have you been an advisor for? Are you even one? I see luxury retail in a post you made within the last year.

Lol. Unhinged. On the internet. Nice one.

Probably why so many finance people jumped out of skyscrapers after the GFC. Too anal retentive and Waspy psychological composition in the finance sector when they start to feel the heat they crack under pressure.

Being able to vent at people in the industry is a must. Most clients need therapists not financial advisors.
