When You Feel Like the Ground Beneath You Has Shifted
Life transitions can shake up what you thought you knew about yourself, your relationships, and your future. Whether it’s a divorce, new parenthood, career change, empty-nesting, or an unexpected chapter, it can leave you feeling unsettled.
You might ask, Who am I now? What comes next?
Even positive changes can stir grief, doubt, or disconnection.
You may appear steady on the outside, but inside, you feel lost and are quietly struggling.
Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect, not by rushing answers, but by gently exploring what’s shifting and what’s emerging.
Understanding Life Transitions &
Identity Questions
How It Shows Up & What You Might Notice
Transitions and identity shifts don’t always arrive with clear markers. Often, they feel like a slow unraveling or a quiet question that won’t go away.
You might notice:
Feeling lost or unsure of who you are now
Questioning long-held roles, values, or identities
Grieving parts of your life you’ve left behind, even if they weren’t good for you
Difficulty making decisions or trusting your intuition
A sense of emptiness, restlessness, or longing for “something more”
Increased anxiety, irritability, or emotional sensitivity
Feeling like you’re in limbo, not who you were, not yet who you’re becoming
Isolation or disconnection from others who “don’t get it”
Wondering if you’re doing something wrong or if it’s supposed to feel this hard
These aren’t signs that you’re failing. They’re signs that you’re evolving.
Therapy can help you make sense of the uncertainty and begin to write the next chapter of your life with intention and care.

At Bountiful Health, we don’t rush to fix or define you. Instead, we listen closely, respectfully, and with deep curiosity.
We draw from relational, trauma-informed, psychodynamic, and attachment-based approaches to help you understand not just the change you’re facing, but the stories, patterns, and longings that live underneath it.
We meet you where you are, whether that’s confused, grieving, hopeful, stuck, or all of the above. Together, we’ll create a space where you can reflect, feel, and move forward with greater self-trust.
