WHEN DO YOU NEED LIFE TRANSITION COACHING?
A life transition, chosen or imposed, is also defined as an emotional liminal space. Transition is not the same as change. Change is external; Transition is internal.
The liminal space is the time between the end of one phase of a person’s life and the beginning of the next. Our mind likes things to be regular and consistent—it craves and produces predictability. When we discover ourselves in transitional states, sensations of anxiety appear. According to experts, there are two primary liminal states: emotional and metaphorical.
EMOTIONAL liminal space exists in life transitions or turning points. For example, the transition between being a child and an adult is a powerful liminal space. Teenagers often find themselves in a liminal space (e.g., “not a girl, not yet a woman”).
The Emotional liminal space can come into play with people questioning their sexual preferences or gender identification.
In the METAPHORICAL liminal space, we usually have to decide something. Until the person chooses one way or another, they will be in a perpetual state of uncertainty.
The more transitions with unknown outcomes, the more uneasy we are.
Uncertainty can be uncomfortable, lonely, frustrating, paralyzing, emotionally demanding, and mentally demanding. The key is determining how to turn the event and accept a life transition as not something to be feared but rather to be leveraged for personal growth.
I will partner with you to encounter your life transitions powerfully, whether large or small, working past the obstacles and exploring the surprise opportunities, always with your ideal outcome in your view.

Life transitions can become the place where excellent ideas are born
Life Transition Coaching helps you decide any time there are two ideas or more that you are wavering between. A trapeze gymnast makes an excellent metaphor for this. Once you jump off the platform, you are literally swinging through the air. Faced with the uncertainty of how to proceed, you are tossed between where you have originated and where you are going. I will partner with you to encounter your life transitions powerfully, whether large or small, working past the obstacles and exploring the surprise opportunities, always with your ideal outcome in your view.
