Calgary Life Transitions Counselling

Change is powerful. Both positive change and negative change can still bring about stresses and anxieties, because change represents the unknown.

We know how devastating negative changes can be, but even positive changes have the potential to bring about fears and discomforts, simply because change – by definition – is something new that you haven’t had experience living with.

WHAT ARE LIFE TRANSITIONS?

Life transitions represent any change in your life that is significant enough to put your life on a different track. Life transitions can be anything – the loss of a dog, entering a new relationship – but typically life transitions are:

• Losing a loved one

• Getting a divorce

• Buying a home

• Losing a career

• Getting a new job

• Moving to a new city, state, or country

• Having a child

• Aging/retiring

Some of those transitions are positive, like buying a home. Others, like losing a loved one or a career, are negative. But all represent major life changes that mean a very different future. The emotions that go along with life change have to do with breaking comforts and being unable to cope with the new experiences in life, and those feelings are perfectly normal.

LIFE TRANSITIONS COUNSELLING IN CALGARY

Because change can bring about that range of emotions, and because those emotions can be overwhelming for those that go through them, it’s not uncommon to feel that you need some extra help. Anxiety, depression, fear, discomfort – these emotions aren’t something that should hold you back, and take away from the potential that the future brings.
