Life transitions are periods that involve significant change to your lifestyle. These changes can appear to be both negative and positive. Common examples include young adulthood, college acceptance, divorce, employment changes, a health diagnosis, marriage, parenthood, relocation, and retirement.
Life transitions may leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, sad, or evaluating our life choices. It is natural to feel resistant to change and let go of the familiar, but it is how we deal with it that will determine how it affects our lives. If you are having trouble coping with a life transition, therapy can provide you assistance to manage this difficult time.
