Life Transitions
Has your life been touched by a major event such as a death, divorce, or layoffs at work? Are you having a hard time moving through and past the emotional turmoil? Do you feel stuck but want to get back to feeling like yourself again?
There’s no denying that life often presents us with challenges, usually in the form of sudden change. These life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused, and vulnerable.
Change Can be Beneficial
Change, whether positive or negative, wanted or expected or neither wanted nor expected, can influence personal growth. Change means to become different, altered. We as humans for the most part do not like change and prefer things to remain the same/familiar. But as we all know change in life is inevitable. Change can be the opportunity to learn or grow in a way not previously considered.
Some of the most common life transitions we help clients navigate are:
- Moving away to college
- Adjusting to university life or your first professional job
- Getting married
- Having a new baby
- Parenting
- Empty nesting syndrome
- Breakup, separation, or divorce
- Infidelity recovery
- Retirement
- Job loss or major change in career
- Relocation
- Financial gain/loss
- Illness or disability
- Issues pertaining to aging
- Death of a loved one
- Questioning the meaning of life
- Questioning your faith/spirituality
- Questioning your sexual/gender identity
Is it Time to Speak to Someone?
Sometimes we can handle change and adversity by ourselves and sometimes we need a little help. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive environment where you can speak candidly and receive care, compassion and guidance.
If you or someone you love is experiencing a life transition, consider therapy for support.
I look forward to meeting and working with you.
