Life Transitions
Life happens in chapters and each time one of those chapters comes to an end, it’s natural to grieve. Change is hard, even when you know that the changes in your life will yield positive outcomes. Without support, it’s easy to get lost in life changes and feel isolated, guilty, and unable to fully embrace the next phase of your life.
Talking with a therapist helps you navigate the grieving process as you move through life changes. Whether you are having your first baby, mourning the death of a loved one, or stepping off to college, every life change has an impact on your outlook, your mental health and your ability to embrace the present.
Life’s changes can leave us all feeling lost, alone and unequipped to handle daily life. New routines mingle with mourning your old life and the result can be a general feeling of discontentment. Talking with a therapist gives you the space to properly grieve your old life and to embrace tools that will help you flourish in your new life.
Your therapist provides a non judgemental, safe space where you can express your feelings and release the tension that life changes can cause. Together, you and your therapist work through the grieving process and identify the positive things that are happening in your life.
Talking with a therapist about life transitions helps with:
- Feelings of hopelessness or being lost
- Depression and anxiety
- Inability to socially interact
- Emotional shut-down
- Feelings of loneliness and inadequacy
- Inability to excel at work
Talking with a therapist like me helps you tap into what is happening in your life and learn how to navigate those life changes. Every situation is different, and a licensed therapist can help you discover tools that you can use to process life changes and get you feeling like yourself again.
There are positive and negative life changes that can impact your ability to move forward. Whether it’s a death in the family or the opportunity to go to college, life changes can upset the normal flow of your daily life and cause stress.
Talking with a therapist about your life changes can help if you’re feeling guilty, stuck or unable to move forward into a new phase of life.
Common life transitions counseling can help navigate include:
- Marriage and starting a family
- Going to college
- Death of a loved one
- Divorce
- Financial setbacks
- Change or loss of your job
Even positive life changes can lead to negative thoughts, feelings of inadequacy and insecurity about the future. Talking with a therapist helps you create positive patterns and thinking that can help you move forward in life.
Life changes can leave us reeling, feeling stuck and unable to move forward with even the most basic daily tasks. Talking with a therapist helps you identify how life changes are impacting your thoughts, beliefs and emotions. Together, you and your therapist work to identify how life changes are impacting you and find ways to positively process those life changes.
As you work through life changes, you’ll be able to fully process what is happening to you. You’ll be able to reignite relationships, create positive habits and better communicate your feelings to loved ones and friends. Together, you and your therapist create a path to a better and more fulfilling life.
