Life Transitions Therapy in Baltimore, Maryland

Change is a natural part of life and happens over and over in our lifetime.

No one stays in the same space forever. As we go through life, children are born, relationships are engaged in, various educational experiences occur, moves happen, and/or loved ones die. Transitions can be positive or negative. Managing transitions and accepting change can cause many, sometimes confusing emotions. As a result of such emotions, there are times when individuals struggle to move through a particular life transition.

These struggles may then interfere with daily living. People may find it difficult to adapt to change, interact with others, show up to work, or complete typical daily routines. This lack of adaptation may lead to a variety of negative emotions. Such as feelings of hopelessness, sadness, worry, physical pain, isolation, self-deprecation, etc. People may also feel that they are stuck in a downward spiral experiencing unhealthy thinking patterns.

Work to accept that change is a normal part of life in life transitions therapy.

As you navigate a life transition, it is important to pause. Understand that transitions mean change and change means that the life you have been used to may not be as it was before. Instead, you may be working towards developing a new normal. This new normal doesn’t have to be better or worse than how things were. But it will certainly be different.

Our Maryland therapists will guide you through pausing. Thus allowing your body to acknowledge and recognize various feelings that you may be experiencing. You will then have time to be vulnerable in these emotions, accept that they are present for a reason, and work towards processing them. Please remember to show yourself compassion and kindness in the midst of all you are going through.

Once you are able to process emotions, coping mechanisms and the reinstallation of a support network are important next steps to assist you in moving forward.
