Transitions

Coping with Life’s Changes

Coping with Life’s Changes

One of my niches is working with clients who are navigating some form of transition.

      Our lives involve alternating periods of stability and change. None of us can avoid dealing with change. But some kinds of changes shake us to our very core, challenging our sense of who we are. These kinds of changes are either the result of or the catalyst for a transition.

William Bridges, "Transitions:  Making Sense of Life’s Changes"—A Review

Bridges explores the typical transitions that we all make throughout our lives including career changes, retirements, job loss, marriage, having a child, losing a loved one, getting divorced.  These transitions may be forced upon us by circumstances outside our control, or they may be things we initiate, but he points out that all transitions are stressful.
