Major life transitions, whether chosen or unchosen, can shake our sense of identity, purpose, and stability. Becoming a parent, changing careers, moving country, ending a relationship, retiring, or losing your health can all trigger a profound reassessment of who you are and what your life means. Therapy provides invaluable support during these disorienting periods.
Talking therapy gives you a structured space to think out loud about a period of change while you're still in the middle of it, to grieve what you're leaving behind, clarify your values and identity, and explore new possibilities with someone who isn't personally affected by which way you decide to go.
