Life transitions are like the seasons.  Changes occur which prompt adjustments and adaptations.  As we go through the life cycle, change is ongoing – birth, going to school, getting a new job, dating, marriage, separation/divorce, starting a family, moving to a new home, death of a loved one, loss of a job,  health status changes, and so forth. Some life transitions are expected and some are more unexpected. Quite often, people experience concurrent changes and it can sometimes be a struggle to navigate through multiple transitions at once.  This is most understandable as there is a lot to process especially on an emotional level. Change of any kind, positive or negative, can be stressful at times such as adjusting to being a parent or adapting to changes within the workplace.  People who are having a difficult time coping during these times may find it helpful to talk to a therapist.
