Keeping stable in stressful life events
よくある質問
Transition stress is a full-body response that occurs during major life changes, such as a career shift or a move. Even when a change is positive and chosen, the disruption can leave you feeling unmoored. This happens because the nervous system prioritizes safety, and the brain often interprets unfamiliar situations as unsafe. When old landmarks disappear, your internal compass may spin, leading to a natural feeling of stress regardless of whether the change is objectively good or bad.
During a life transition, your nervous system focuses on safety rather than your personal preferences. Because the brain equates the unfamiliar with being unsafe, it triggers a physiological response to the disruption. This explains why you might struggle emotionally even when you have achieved a goal you wanted, such as a new job. Understanding that this is a nervous system reaction helps validate the feeling that transition stress is not just in your head, but a physical process of adapting.
In the context of navigating the rapids of change, psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well when faced with twists, turns, and disruptions. Rather than being a rare superpower, resilience is considered an ordinary process available to everyone. It involves managing the body's response to shifts like health crises or career changes. By viewing resilience as a process of adaptation, individuals can better handle the intense rapids of life transitions and find their footing in new environments.
