Life Transition

Life transitions are pivotal moments that can evoke a mix of anxiety and exhilaration. These transitions often involve emotional adjustments as we navigate through changes and find our place in them.

Examples of Life Transitions:

• Graduations

• Changes in relationship status

• Coping with a new medical diagnosis

• Retirement

• Caretaking of parents or loved ones

• Empty nest

• Relocation

• Marriage

• Divorce

• Chronic illness

• Career or educational change

 

Transitions frequently start with a sense of loss. For instance, a promotion to a new job may come with the loss of familiar colleagues and routines. Changes in relationships can lead to shifts in social circles, either by forming new connections or letting go of old ones. As parents, the empty nest phase brings pride in our children's independence but also feelings of loneliness and uncertainty about how to spend our newfound free time. It's natural to wonder, "Why am I not happy?"

The journey through life transitions often takes us from the comfort of the familiar into the unknown. 

You don't have to face these challenges alone.

 

Despite your efforts to cope, you may not have found the relief you seek and deserve. Even positive transitions, like job promotions or children leaving for college, can leave us feeling anxious and disappointed in ourselves for not being happier. Others might not understand why we feel this way, leading to feelings of isolation.

 

Imagine moving forward with more self-confidence, embracing self-compassion, developing wellness, no longer just surviving but thriving.
