Life Adjustment Therapy
Anxiety Specialist Providing Online Therapy Throughout NJ, FL, And CT
Navigating life's twists and turns, whether propelled by a new job, the jolt of job loss, a change in location, or a shift in relationships, often brings a surge of stress and anxiety. While some transitions are part of a well-laid plan, others may catch you off guard, presenting an unexpected and unwelcome challenge. Planned or not, it can be challenging to know how to adjust to new circumstances in a healthy way.
Change is hard.
The unknown is uncomfortable.
Major life changes inevitably introduce a spectrum of emotions, often including anxiety, stress, and a sense of overwhelm. For instance, if you’ve started a new job, you know how the pressure to prove yourself and adapt to a new environment can trigger anxiety. Conversely, if you’ve recently lost your job, you may be struggling with the stress of financial uncertainty, anxiety about the future, and navigating a sudden shift in your daily routine. Or maybe you’ve relocated to a new place, while exciting, might trigger isolation and discomfort being in unfamiliar surroundings. Relationship shifts, whether through a breakup or a new commitment, can evoke anxiety about the unknown future.
If you’re experiencing a major change in your life, you are not only faced with the difficult task of adjusting to a new external reality, but also of the disruption in established routines and comfort zones. Trying to navigate significant transitions alone can make these experiences exponentially more difficult to cope with.
