The adage that “the only constant in life is change” is true for people experiencing life transitions. Some life transitions can be exciting, such as a new relationship, move, job, or child. Some can be difficult, like death, illness, or aging. Regardless of the nature of the change, life transitions can be stressful.
Available Treatment Options
Counseling interventions therapists may use for dealing with life transitions include talking about and processing the change, developing coping skills for handling the stress of the change, and participating in group therapy with people going through similar life transitions.

Being heard and being understood - the concept of belonging. At times, the concept of belonging is complicated when you have thoughts which block the enjoyment of the present moment. At times we might hear, “Get it over it. It’s all in your head,” but we know all too well that what is happening is very real-outside of our heads-and it’s part of our every day routine. Traumas and unwanted life...
