Our lives are a string of events and changes. Some are planned and exciting, like starting a new job or welcoming a new family member. Others can be unexpected, sudden and challenging, like dealing with loss or new changes at work. Either way, they are all changes that bring new hurdles to overcome. As a hardworking adult, it can feel so painfully difficult to keep afloat while trying to maintain the balance. It is easy for self-doubt to creep in and make life feel unmanageable especially when we feel like we should know how to handle all this stuff. These feelings can seep into other areas of our life and relationships making us feel out of sorts and incredibly alone. Other’s don’t always “get it” and it is ofter such a vulnerable place to be and exist in when we feel out of control. With all our responsibilities we may even find ourselves worrying and making sure everyone else is ok that we neglect ourselves. Listen, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even lost during these times but you don’t have to suffer and go through it alone.

That is where therapy can help. Therapy can be a steady and consistent support through tough times to gain understanding and find your footing in these new changes, even if they are positive.
