Coping With Change, Loss & Uncertainty Life Transition Therapist-Written Workbook PDF (Digital Download)

When life changes faster than your mind and body can adjust, even the next small decision can feel hard. Finding Your Way Through Change is a therapist-written life transition workbook for adults who want compassionate, practical support through change, uncertainty, loss, emotional overwhelm, or a difficult season.

This workbook may be useful during experiences such as job loss or a career change, separation or changing family roles, a move, caregiving, health-related change, grief, a disrupted routine or identity, or an uncertain season. It does not assume that every transition looks the same, and it does not ask you to force a positive outlook or solve your whole future at once.

Created by Caroline Aaron, MSW, LICSW, a licensed therapist, for Peppie & Bean Therapy Tools.
