You may have changed careers, ended a relationship, started something new or experienced a major shift in your circumstances. People congratulate you on the change without realising that you are still trying to understand what it means for you. You might feel excited and unsettled at the same time, grieving something that has ended while trying to embrace what is beginning. There can be an uncomfortable space between the person you were and the person you're becoming.
We often expect ourselves to adapt quickly when circumstances change, but identity doesn't always move at the same pace. A transition can be an opportunity to understand yourself differently rather than simply return to who you were before. With psychotherapy, as you make space for what has changed you can begin to reconnect with what matters to you now and move forward with a stronger sense of who you are and how you want to live.
You're not alone, and you don't have to figure this out on your own. Take your first step to becoming a more confident and connected you today.
