Internally you are feeling a rollercoaster of emotions, and it has ended up affecting your relationship, work and peace of mind. Concentration is worse, patience is low, and irritability is high. You can’t sleep, can’t relax, and feel numb. You know something has to change, but nothing you’ve done so far has worked.
In therapy for life transitions, you might initially feel lost, confused and unsure. I am here to help you find your way through the confusion, emotional roller coaster, and big decisions. Changes might start small. You snap at your kids or coworkers less. Then, you realize you are getting decent sleep most nights. Finally, you find that you breathe…truly breathe. Not the shallow, empty breath you have been used to, but the deep, relaxing kind of breath that nourishes your soul. You still hurt. The emotional pain hasn’t disappeared. However, you have learned to cope in the moment, maintain your relationships, and take care of yourself again.
You have the ability to withstand these challenges and be true to your values.
Moreover, you can find confidence to thrive, and continue to move toward your life goals. And the best part is you finally trust yourself to make it through anything. Being stuck is not an endless. You’ll find that you can hurt or be uncomfortable, and still live.
Relationships ebb and flow, there is pain, hurt, anger and sadness. There is also joy, laughter and peace.
