Transitions
The difficult part of a change is rarely the change itself. It is the stretch afterwards where the old shape has gone and the new one has not arrived.
This page is a working draft. It has not yet been reviewed and approved by our clinical team, and it is not indexed by search engines until it is.
What this is about
Moving country, leaving a job, ending a relationship, finishing a degree, becoming well again after being unwell: even changes you chose and wanted involve losing something. That loss often goes unmarked because the change was supposed to be good news, which leaves people feeling ungrateful on top of unsettled.
What work here looks like
Therapy during a transition is mostly about having one steady thing while everything else is in motion.
Nothing on this page is a diagnosis. If you are in immediate danger or worried you might act on thoughts of harming yourself, please contact Tele-MANAS (14416 or 1-800-89-14416, available 24×7 across India) or your local emergency services.
