Changes in life that disrupt the established status quo are termed life transitions which necessitate
adaptation from affected individuals regardless of whether they are expected examples like graduation
from school into university or marriage or unexpected ones such as loss due to death at work, sudden
illness among others.

As people encounter unfamiliar settings accompanied by subsequent changes in roles along with identity aspirations whilst making necessary modifications or adjustments to emotions associated with anxiety crises usually arise. Amid each transitional stage are various unique challenges requiring individuals to develop new skills essential for their transition.
Despite the stress associated with these transitions, periods of self-reflection aimed at bolstering personal growth and efficacy in adjusting are innate.

Support during this period which is provided by professionals like counseling or psychotherapy equips those involved with effective coping mechanisms necessitated during change management.
