LIFE TRANSITIONS THERAPY FAQs
What are life transitions?
Life transitions are similar to the chapters of a book – they're the moments when our story takes a new turn. This encompasses a wide range of life experiences. It could mean starting college, getting your dream job, divorce, parenthood, empty nest, and more. Transitions are the milestones that shape who we become, bringing fresh perspectives, challenges, and chances to learn.
Why are life transitions so hard?
Life transitions can stir up a mixture of emotions and uncertainties. Feeling unsure, questioning your capabilities, or pondering over choices is all part of what makes it so difficult. Sometimes, we bid farewell to the old to make room for the new. That's where therapy comes in as a great support. Therapy will explore these feelings to help you gain insights and develop strategies to navigate life transitions and find meaning.
