About

What I would want every new client to understand is that the size of the change has very little to do with how hard it hits. Small, sensible, entirely chosen adjustments regularly floor people, while enormous upheavals are sometimes absorbed without much trouble at all. That unpredictability is normal. Life transitions interact with everything else you happen to be carrying at the time, which is why the same event lands completely differently in two different years. We look at what else is in the picture rather than assessing the event in isolation. That usually explains the reaction very quickly. My first posts were in community mental health, where I saw the same circumstance produce entirely different outcomes depending on what surrounded it. Context is most of the story. If your reaction seems out of proportion to the event, there is almost certainly a reason for it.
