Transitions
William Bridges wrote that transition is not like change – change is about an event while transition is about a process, moving from one life stage to another life stage. For example, the birth of a child is a change while your role of parent is a transition, or even a series of transitions. Such a parenting transition involves a psychological shift, from being focussed on yourself to attending to a new dependent life and making adjustment to your own priorities and needs. Think of what is happening in your own life now – is it stopping full-time work, or moving to part-time work – what transitions are you making to adjust your focus and attention? How are you letting go of the old way, spending the time required in a neutral space considering your options, and then beginning a new way of living?
