Life Stressors and Transitions FAQ
A life stressor is any event or experience that impacts the ability to carry on with daily life. Transitions are big life events such as leaving home, job hiring or changes, getting married, or becoming a parent.
Life transitions are hard because they mean giving up what we are familiar with and having to face the unknown. Transitions can make you feel uncertain, vulnerable, anxious, and even depressed. Life transitions are a natural part of the human experience, but often times they bring undue discomfort.
