Basically, as your article suggests, this life transition counseling is going to help in making a person feel more at home in their new state of life coming from a divorce, 30’s life crisis, job loss, mid-life crisis, retirement, health issue, and divorce. That sounds like an essential kind of counseling to have for those who were together for years and have been torn apart after or those who suddenly need to start anew. Hopefully, that will be able to help out my sister as she’s planning to have a divorce filed soon after being married for years. Thanks!Vivian, thank you so much for your comment. You hit the nail on the head – a divorce is a major life transition. Even if it seemed like each person grew far apart from the other and rarely seemed to connect, the brain registers things consciously and unconsciously. The change in environment from both people having things there to only one will register in your brain and feel weird or different, etc. Habits, routine, sensory information all changes – that’s alot for one brain to process and make sense of all at once. Looking at the stages of grief may be helpful, because she is likely to go through grieving(regardless of whether the relationship was good or bad). I hope this helps both of you through this transition – remember, eventually there is a new beginning, and this can be beautiful. Good luck and know you/she can always reach out to a counselor/therapist☺Pam, I’m so thankful for you and your exuberance for family, friends, and Jesus. Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for sharing these helpful tips for improving relationships.
