Life Transitions

Have you ever had a time in your life when things became so difficult that it felt like you couldn’t take one more step forward; times when you were overwhelmed and “stuck.”

Many situations, both positive and negative, can create confusion, hesitation, anxiety, and depression. At times life transitions can bring up old memories or unresolved emotional feelings from our past that can keep us “stuck” in an old space from a time long past. Life is full of transitions. The way we handle them can be very “unique to you.”

Some transitions that can be challenging and cause stress that can require new skill sets and coping mechanisms are:

• Entering or leaving college
• Job changes
• Career changes
• Promotions or demotions
• Income changes
• Moving to a new environment
• Loss of friends and or family
• Death of a loved one
• Birth of a baby
• Relationship difficulties
• Betrayal
• Infidelity
• Marriage
• Termination of a relationship or divorce
• Difficult decisions
• Major disruptions in family relationships
• Injury
• Health concerns for Self and Loved Ones
• Parenting issues
• Healthy aging

These are some of the life transitions that can cause anxiety, depression and or difficulty sleeping. To move from stress to taking positive action and gaining coping skills to work through your transition(s), please call for an appointment. I look forward to talking with you.
