Treatment Issue Addressed: Life Transitions/Self-Esteem

Change is inevitable. Life circumstances such as divorce, adult child leaving home, death of a loved one, or an unplanned retirement are some of the challenges all people eventually face. The personal meaning a person gives to life transitions makes all the difference. Some individuals “roll with the punches” while others become “overwhelmed.” For some people emotional resources such as family and friends may not be available or be enough. They may not yet have worked out their spirituality or philosophical orientation to give them the strength needed during such transitional times.
