Life transitions are periods of change in our lives that mark the beginning or the end of a stage or season of life. These transitions can be both planned and unplanned and range from personal choices to circumstances outside our control. 

Have you ever become so overwhelmed with emotions that you felt out of control? Painful emotions can be challenging to work through, and sometimes we cope with emotions in ways that only worsen our problems. We might become overly reactive, use substances, ruminate, or avoid the situation all together. Developing distress tolerance skills might be helpful if you notice yourself unsuccessfully coping with your emotions.

The idea of therapy has perhaps crossed our minds, but how do we know when we should go to therapy? Who is therapy even for? The short answer: therapy is for everyone, at any time!
