Major life transitions significantly impact individual well-being. Many seek therapy when contemplating or undergoing changes like marriage, parenthood, or major health diagnoses. Therapy provides essential space for processing feelings and concerns, allowing individuals to better manage stress. Recent research highlights that engagement in therapy is crucial during transitions that test motivational resources, underscoring the important role that targeted short-term therapeutic support plays particularly during the transition to parenthood, which can be uniquely overwhelming due to new responsibilities and pressures.
"Navigating major life transitions can pose complicated challenges across the lifespan... therapy is valuable during these transitional times, as it allows participants the much-needed space and the slowing down to actually explore and address their particular concerns."
"Sustained engagement may be particularly adaptive during difficult life course transitions that challenge motivational resources, such as entering college or having a first child."
