Life Transitions
Navigating Life Transitions with Therapy
What are Life Transitions?
Life transitions are significant changes or milestones that we experience throughout our lives. These can include positive changes life marriage, the birth of a child, or starting a new job, as well as more challenging transitions such as divorce, loss, retirement, or relocation. While transitions are a natural part of life, they often come with emotional and psychological stress, making it difficult to adjust to new circumstances.
The Emotional Impact of Life Transitions
Even if positive transitions can bring about uncertainty, anxiety, or grief. For example, starting a new chapter in life may trigger feelings of loss for the old one, or we may question our ability to adapt to new roles and responsibilities. More difficult transitions, such as the loss of loved one or a major career change, can lead to feelings of being overwhelmed, depression, or a sense of identity crisis. Unresolved emotions during transitions can affect our mental health and relationships.
