After long-term disability leave, a client says, 'I'm not a worker anymore—I don't know who I am.' What psychosocial counseling target is most indicated?

Loss of worker role identity is a common psychosocial impact after prolonged disability leave and is a legitimate rehabilitation counseling target. Adjustment work addresses grief, meaning, and reconstruction of vocational self-concept alongside concrete job-seeking tasks. Ignoring identity loss while focusing only on paperwork under-serves the psychosocial domain of disability.
