ADJUSTMENT & LIFE TRANSITIONS
HOME > Services > Areas of Counseling >
Adjustments and transitions can be significant stressors.
Stressors can take all different forms. They can be a single event (such as a break-up with a romantic partner) or multiple events (such as a series of failed job interviews). They can also occur during specific life transitions or developmental phases such as attending a new school, getting married, having a baby, or retiring from work. If not coped with properly, an individual can experience distress that has a ripple effect, negatively impacting their relationships with friends and family, their performance at school and/or work, and their ability to function in day-to-day life.
Some of the most stressful life events include:
- Death of a loved one
- Marriage, divorce, or separation
- Relationship issues
- Illness or injury
- Sudden disasters
- Being fired or unemployed
- Transitions related to school
- Retirement
- Children leaving the home
- Moving or changes in living environment
- Financial issues
Understanding adjustment disorder.
Individuals with an adjustment disorder experience distress within three months of a stressor, or multiple stressors, that are identifiable. The distress can appear as more extreme in nature than what is typically expected and/or cause significant impairment in important life areas. Among the forms of distress are symptoms of depression, symptoms of anxiety, behavioral problems, or a combination of these.
Examples of symptoms can include:
- Isolation
- Feeling anxious or on-edge
- Difficulty with concentration
- Reckless or impulsive actions
