Life Transitions
Transitions are some of the hardest times of life.
Life becomes shaky and uncertain. Insecurities come out full force as you search for the new “stable.”
You might be going through a foreseeable transition: graduating from college, starting a new job, or moving across the country…
… or an unpredictable one: recovery from a car crash, grieving a loved one’s death, or going through a breakup.
Either way, there is always a period of loss and adjustment to a new way of life.
Transitions can bring out loneliness and fear.
It’s scary to have your life uprooted – to have the rug pulled out from under you.
It often feels as though nobody understands what you’re going through, and it can be difficult to reach out to friends.
You might want to hide your feelings by keeping to yourself or avoid them altogether using your general coping mechanisms like drinking alcohol or watching TV.
It’s hard to see the gift of an important life transition…
… when you’re right in the middle of it. It’s easy to get engulfed in the loss you’ve just gone through as the grieving period begins. It can feel eternal, as if you will never get over it and adjust to a new life.
But there is hope!
Once my clients get to the other side, they’re able to look back and see the immense growth they went through to get there.
They see that they’ve faced their fears, ridden the waves of grief, and built a new life for themselves – one that often feels brighter and shinier than before. They feel renewed, stronger, and more empowered.
How I’ll help you get you to the other side…
We’ll start by exploring your current emotions and ways you might be avoiding them:
Are you feeling depressed from a recent breakup?
Fearful about an upcoming move?
Anxious about a change of employment?
I will help you get in touch with what’s really going on for you.
Next, we’ll help you identify ways to ease into this transition so that it feels less overwhelming. This might mean allowing yourself time to grieve properly or increasing your self-care.
We’ll talk about strategies to help you empower yourself through this journey.
As we journey together, you will start to notice that this change is feeling easier. Instead of staying stagnant, your emotions will be moving and transforming…
… and what felt like impossible before will feel remarkably doable!
Here’s what it looks like…
Jenny*, a client who came to me after leaving a disappointing relationship, could only see a dark cloud hanging over her. She was afraid of being alone and was convinced she would never make it through this time.
Through our work together, Jenny processed her previous poor relationships, identified places of internal confidence, and began to pursue her passions professionally. She slowly began to witness the sun peeking through her dark cloud, and she eventually realized that her transition from ending a bad relationship to growing into a strong, independent woman was one of her greatest periods of self-growth.
You, too, can turn this period into a time of growth.
You’ve languished on the couch long enough.
It’s time to step into this transition, process your past difficulties, and find your opportunity for growth.
