Life Transitions Marriage And Family Therapists in Idaho

Change can be tough. Life transitions – such as moving to a new city, transitioning into or out of a relationship, becoming a parent, or changing your career – can be difficult and uncomfortable. It’s normal, even helpful, to feel a certain amount of stress amid a life transition; in fact, the majority of us will encounter such a period of increased stress alongside a transition at some point in our lives. You might, for example, find yourself worrying more than usual, withdrawing from family and friends, or even experiencing physical symptoms, such as muscle tension or difficulty sleeping. Usually, these markers of stress subside over time as we adapt to our new circumstances.

Sometimes, however, individuals can have greater difficulty in adjusting to a new reality, and markers of stress persist over time, resulting in an interference with work or relationships. In such instances, the feelings that accompany transitions warrant further examination. While “life transitions” is not a clinical diagnosis itself, troubles adapting to change can lead to diagnosable mental health conditions, such as adjustment disorder, depression, or anxiety. Seeking support from a trained marriage and family therapist can make a huge difference and help you to thrive in your new circumstances.
