Life is marked by transitions and changes; life transitions represent major changes in our lives, which can require adjustment. Each transition brings with it challenges and opportunities. With change, the feeling of uncertainty can lead to doubt, discomfort, and feeling overwhelmed.
Common life transitions include:
Beginning a new romantic relationship
Milestones in relationships, such as moving in together, becoming engaged, or getting married
Getting pregnant and becoming a parent
Career changes or losing employment
Divorce, separation, or a breakup
Empty nest, when children leave the home
Graduating school
Health challenges or diagnosis
Retirement
Relocation
Leaving home
Therapy for life transitions offers a supportive space to navigate significant changes. Beginning with an assessment to understand unique experiences, therapy helps to explore and process the emotions associated with life transitions, helping to move through and adjust to a new reality. The therapeutic process encourages self-reflection, helping to clarify values and priorities during periods of change. Therapy can aid in grieving, acceptance, integration, and preparing for the next phase of life.
