Life Transitions Therapy San Diego
Life Has Its Obstacles
Life transitions, both expected and unexpected, happen in everyone's lives. People are supposed to grow up and go through momentous events where they completely change for the better and grow exponentially, right? What many people won’t tell you is that these life transitions are hardly ever easy. Often, the reason everyone comes out of these events as a “new person” is because they were forced to look at themselves and their lives and change what they needed to according to their individual needs. This becomes even more difficult when you are a man who is constantly told to keep up with the “competition”, whether that be in the workplace or even socially. When everything feels like a conflict you have no real defenses against a major life change coming your way.
Who’s There For You During Big Moments?
As a man, you have to look at the people around you and ask yourself how they are playing into the life transitions that you are working through. It’s simple to say that you are “self-made”, but the reality is no one ever gets to where they are by doing it all alone, and those who attempt to often struggle with burnout or fatigue. Taking on big life challenges alone sounds easy when you are used to hearing that you should handle things by yourself, even when times are tough. At what point do you step back and realize all of the stress, frustration, and pain that you’ve been putting yourself through could have been minimized by reaching out for support from others? How do you move forward effectively when you are still trying to maintain all the unexpected changes from a major life transition and no one is there to guide you?
How Men’s Therapy Can Help You
Therapy can be a great way of reintroducing yourself to the world as a new and improved man. Through therapy, you will learn what it means to recognize those big life moments and put them into a realistic perspective in terms of mental, physical, or emotional health. Many men believe that as long as they have food in the fridge and a roof over their heads then they are handling life just fine — but there is more to prospering than simply having your basic needs met. To create the life you truly want you have to be open to receiving help when you need it and asking for guidance when you have no idea what to do next. Asking for help doesn’t make you less of a man and having people in your corner will never emasculate you. On the contrary, men who have a network of reliable and trustworthy people to help accompany their journey have an easier time forming new and lasting relationships, leading to a healthier, happier life.
