What Is a Life Transition?
A life transition is a big change in your world. It could be:
- Starting or ending a relationship
- Losing a job or starting a new one
- Becoming a parent
- Moving to a new place
- Coming out or changing how you see yourself
- Turning a new age, like 30, 50, or 65
These changes might look “normal,” but they can shake your emotions. Even happy changes can feel scary.

Why Do Life Changes Feel So Hard?
Because your brain and body like routine. When that routine breaks, it can cause stress.
You may feel:
- Lost or unsure of who you are now
- Anxious about what comes next
- Sad about what you left behind
- Scared to move forward
- Overwhelmed by decisions
That doesn’t mean anything is “wrong” with you. You’re adjusting — and therapy helps with that.
