A Life-Stage Transition Mapping Worksheet
This worksheet helps a client process a major life transition by mapping what they are letting go.
Clients undergoing a major life transition often present with a complex mix of grief and anticipation. The past they are leaving and the future they are entering can feel like a tangled, overwhelming state, making it difficult to gain perspective. They may struggle to articulate what, specifically, they are mourning and what, exactly, they are anxious or hopeful about, leaving them feeling stuck and disoriented in the present.
This directive gives the client a framework to sort these competing thoughts and feelings into two distinct categories: what is being let go, and what is being moved toward. By externalizing this process, they can build a more coherent narrative for themselves. The client walks away with a clearer understanding of their own transition and a renewed sense of agency.
