Embracing change can be challenging, as even the most positive life transitions often bring a degree of stress. Throughout your lifetime, you’re likely to encounter numerous significant shifts. Some, like marriages, the birth of a child, or starting a new job, are typically seen as joyful milestones, yet they can still introduce their own distinct pressures. Other pivotal transitions, such as relocating, retiring, or entering the “empty nest” stage, may trigger considerable stress. For those struggling to adapt to these uncontrollable changes, consulting a therapist can provide valuable support in developing effective coping strategies.
