SPECIALTIES: LIFE TRANSITIONS
Life transitions.
Every day each one of us goes through a number of transitions. For example, when we wake
up in the morning and get out of bed, we make a transition from a resting, recooperative state
called sleep to a state which involves action and activity (being awake). When we switch from
one role to another during the day (mother to coworker, boyfriend to entrepreneur, partner to
father), we make transitions as well. Most of the time these transitions are so seamless we
don't even realize we are transitioning, yet they are transitions just the same.
Then there are transitions that are more life-changing. These are transitions of which we can't
help but take notice. They include divorce, the termination of a relationship (whatever kind),
the need to relocate, losing or changing employment, a change in our health status, or even
loss and death of someone we love. These transitions are more intense and can have an
alarming and unsettling impact on our everyday lives.
Managing life-altering transitions, while difficult, is possible. Learning to negotiate transitions
is just that-- something we learn. And it is something we can do well and effectively with
guidance and support. As we manage and assimilate transitions into our lives, we learn
about our capacity for tolerance and our ability to cope.
