Therapy for Navigating Life Changes
Something has shifted. Maybe it happened suddenly or maybe it crept up so gradually you didn't notice until one day you looked around and realized the life you're living doesn't quite fit the person you're becoming.
It's a shedding of a skin. And figuring out how the new one fits takes time.
Many women I work with are in the thick of early motherhood, that fog nobody actually warns you about until you're standing in it at 3am. Others are in perimenopause, watching their body change in ways that feel disorienting and a little unfamiliar. Or maybe a relationship has run its course, a kid just left for school, and the job you used to love doesn't feel like yours anymore.
Transition tends to bring up old patterns, old triggers, the same ways you've always responded when things get hard: ignoring what you feel, pushing through anyway, or staying stuck because moving in any direction feels like too much.
A lot of transition work is grief before it's anything else, grieving what you're leaving even when you chose to leave it. We get curious about what's underneath, build the capacity to actually feel what's there instead of pushing past it, and slowly, you start responding a little differently than you always have.
We make space for the grief, and slowly start figuring out who you are on the other side.
