Learn about going through life transitions

Going through big transitions in life can be stressful, tiring and emotional. It’s normal to get overwhelmed and to take a while to adjust. Sometimes, these transitions are so overwhelming that they can start to have a huge impact on our daily mood, emotions and functioning.

 

This can often occur with transitions that are unexpected, such as losing a loved one, getting fired from work, getting diagnosed with an illness or receiving a substantial injury. However, it can occur with regular life transitions such as becoming an adult, moving out of home, starting university, or getting your first job.

 

Whatever the case is, if a life transition is taking a huge toll on you and you are struggling to cope with it on your own – it may be beneficial to seek help from a professional. Some of the signs that you may need to seek help include:

Feeling constantly worried, irritable or stressed over the transition

Avoiding having to talk about, or take part in it

Losing sleep over it or having it affect other parts of your health

You are using alcohol or drugs to manage your anger

 

These and any other symptoms that result from the stress of a life transition can be worked through gradually with a psychologist. They are specialised in providing help to:

 

Identify what it is about these transitions that are so difficult to adapt to

Learn to accept the change and adjust your lifestyle around it in a positive way

Relaxation and mindfulness training

Find social supports that can reduce the effect of the transitions

Providing you with the skills to ease yourself into the transition gradually

Well done for making it this far! I’d love to work with you to further harness your bravery to go and get whatever you want for your life. This includes relationships, which can be hard, but also so fulfilling. If that’s not your current experience, I’d love to work together to figure out attachment styles, or better conflict resolution or self regulation skills. I believe everyone deserves to be supported in all of life’s transitory moments and that relationship with ourselves and others can be a cocoon for healing. It would be my privilege to journey with you.
