Life Transitions
“The only thing constant is change.”
~ Heraclitus, Greek philosopher
Has your life been touched by a major event such as a death, divorce or layoffs at work? Are you having a hard time moving through and past the emotional turmoil? Do you feel completely stuck and like you need guidance getting back on track?
Life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused and vulnerable.
Change Can be Beneficial
Change, even difficult change that is neither wanted nor expected, can influence personal growth. With each new challenge, we develop new personal skills and obtain a greater awareness of ourselves, our family and our communities.
