Being blindsided with change can interfere with life in ways we never knew how to expect or handle. There are many things in life that we feel prepared for. But sometimes, there are those things that hit us in the back of the head because we never saw them coming- at least not in the way that we expected. Processing this on it’s own might be manageable until we realize we have to combine that with the normal day to day life stuff that doesn’t go away. All these things that we used to be able to “handle” all of a sudden leave you feeling stuck, possibly even frightened and unsure of yourself. That’s where I come in ready to help..
