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.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an eraser for the drawing of life? If it were a map the roads would double back, go in circles for miles, and have multiple dead ends. Most roads would traverse through hills, valleys, caves, and mountain tops. Norman Cousins once said, "Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live". Families and individuals alike can...
