Life Transitions

Life Transitions

Descripción corta

Change is a part of life that will always remain constant and unavoidable. Odds are that most people have experienced a significant change in their lives, whether it is positive (beginning a new job) or negative (loss of a job or loved one). While many people can transition gracefully, others may feel like their world has been turned upside down. It is during these times that they may go through stages of emotional discomfort, mourning, or fear, leaving them feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and even depressed. Engaging in therapy to learn healthy coping mechanisms for life transitions can be extremely beneficial for anyone’s mental health and overall well-being.

Examples of Life Transitions:
Job changes
Health problems
Disabling accidents/tragedy
Marriage
Birth
Divorce/Breakups
Death
Moving
Travel
Social/ Political changes

Below are a few tactics and goals therapists commonly use to help people feel prepared for future transitions in their lives.

Accept change is a part of life
Remain positive — Change doesn’t have to be bad
Identify and express feelings
