Transitions are inevitable – The only constant in life is change. Every person can expect to go through multiple significant changes throughout their life. When we experience changes in our lives, also known as transitions, adjusting can be stressful and challenging, even if the shifts are positive.
We can be affected by both negative and positive life changes. You might feel uncertain or lost if you are going through a significant life change. You may have found comfort and stability in your old routine, but now you are trying to figure out your new role. It is normal and healthy to experience some stress and anxiety when going through a life transition. However, it can feel uncomfortable and unsettling for our bodies and minds to adapt to a new lifestyle.
Some Examples of a Positive Life Transition:
Graduating college
Entering the workforce
Making a big move
Buying a home
Getting married
Becoming a parent
Changing careers by choice
Becoming a grandparent
Retirement
Some Examples of a Negative Life Transition
Divorce, losing a job, and losing a loved one are some examples of significant life changes that can be considered negative. Negative life changes can cause considerable stress and, if not adequately managed, may cause mental health concerns.
Examples of negative life changes include (but are not limited to):
Loss of your role
breakups
Divorce
Significant loss (losing a person, pet, job, or anything you consider important)
Serious illness or disability of self or a loved one
Addressing Life Transitions Through Therapy:
Change can make our thoughts dwell in uncertainty – the uncertainty of what this change will bring and what the future holds. In therapy, no matter what kind of change you are going through, learning to adapt can profoundly impact your personal growth. It also encourages the acquisition of knowledge and new skills. If you are experiencing difficulties adapting, then you may begin seeing changes in your physical or mental health. In therapy, using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Mindfulness techniques, I will help you become more self-aware and gain insight into how life changes can lead you to personal strength, and confidence and help you increase your adaptability.
