Major Life Transitions
Change can be disorienting, even when it’s wanted.
Struggle during transition does not mean you’re failing.
Major life transitions affect identity, safety, routines, relationships, and the nervous system. Even positive changes can bring grief, anxiety, and exhaustion.
Affirming therapy supports you in navigating change without rushing adjustment or judging your response. It helps you make sense of who you are becoming while honoring who you’ve been.
We don’t tell you to “just be grateful.”
We don’t minimize how hard this feels.
We don’t expect you to bounce back quickly.
Transitions take time.
And you deserve support while you’re in them.
