EMDR for Life Transitions

Are you struggling with the effects of life transition?

Right now, you may be experiencing:

 

  • Emotional upheaval related to a significant life change
  • Uncertainty about your identity or purpose during this transition
  • Grief for what has been lost or left behind
  • Anxiety about adapting to new circumstances or expectations
  • Feeling caught between your old life and your new reality
  • Difficulty making decisions or planning for the future
  • Physical symptoms of stress as you navigate multiple adjustments

You've started to recognize how this life transition is impacting you:

  • Your emotional stability fluctuates as you process multiple changes simultaneously
  • Relationships are shifting as your circumstances and needs change
  • Your confidence is shaken as familiar skills or knowledge may not apply
  • Sleep disturbances or changes in appetite may be occurring
  • You find yourself idealizing the past or feeling resentful about the change
  • Daily routines that once provided structure now feel disrupted
  • The stress of adjustment is affecting your physical and emotional wellbeing

You’re wondering…

  • Why is this transition affecting me so deeply when it’s a normal life event?
  • Could my difficulty with this change be connected to past experiences?
  • How does EMDR help with life transitions when they’re not necessarily traumatic?
  • Will processing my feelings about this change help me adapt more effectively?
  • Can EMDR address both the practical and emotional aspects of major life changes?
  • How long will it take before I feel settled and confident again?
  • Is it normal to feel this level of distress during a major life change?

You’re longing for…

  • A sense of stability and grounding amid the changes in your life.
  • Clarity about your identity and purpose in this new chapter.
  • The ability to honor the past while embracing new possibilities.
  • Confidence in your capacity to adapt and thrive in changed circumstances.
  • Relief from the anxiety and uncertainty that accompanies transitions.
  • Integration of this experience into your life story in a meaningful way.
  • A renewed sense of hope and possibility for your future.

How we can help you.

At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that major life transitions—whether chosen or unexpected—can shake the foundations of your identity, security, and sense of meaning. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that current transitions often trigger earlier experiences of change or loss, amplifying your emotional response beyond what might be expected.

What you’re longing for is possible.

Our experienced EMDR therapists utilize this powerful approach to address both the current challenges of your life transition and any past experiences that may be intensifying your reaction. Through targeted therapeutic interventions, clients typically experience:
