Support during change, uncertainty, and becoming.

Do you have a difficult time adapting to change? Does making life decisions cause you to constantly procrastinate, distract yourself, or feel frozen? Do you sometimes feel rushed to make a decision? Do you need to plan out every part of your day and even your life? Are you scared of making the wrong decisions? Do you fear the unpredictable or the unknown?

Have you recently decided to change careers, end a relationship in your life, commit to a major life milestone, or move to new city or country? You are experiencing a big life transition.

Common major life transitions and changes include:

  • Career changes or burnout

  • Relationship beginnings or endings

  • Moving, immigration, or relocation

  • Identity shifts

  • Becoming a caregiver or parent

  • Entering a new life stage

  • Grief and Loss

As humans, change in life is inevitable, however that does not make adjusting and adapting to change easy. Especially where the unknown can be unpredictable and our minds are biologically wired to look out for risk. It can make decision making in life truly difficult leading to increased anxiety, decision paralysis, fatigue, and even a state of numbness.
