Dealing with change in our lives can be a difficult thing sometimes. When we ourselves make a decision to change something, we are prepared for it. However, change does not always happen this way. It happens when we least expect it, or at a time when we already are feeling overwhelmed. If we are more aware of what happens when change surprises us, then we are more liekly to percieve the change in a different way. This is what this session is all about; discussing stages of change, common thoughts and feelings that occur with change, and how we can challenge our perceptions of change.
