Identity and belonging

Finding Where You Belong in a New Season of Life

Finding Where You Belong in a New Season of Life: empty nest syndrome, life transitions therapy, identity crisis in women | Femme Health women's mental health blog

You can choose a change and still feel unmoored once it happens. Maybe you moved and miss being known by the people around you. Maybe your children left home and your days feel unexpectedly quiet. Cultural or family expectations can also make it harder to say what you want for yourself.

Look for a place where you can show up as you are

Belonging can start with something familiar. You might return to an activity you used to enjoy, text someone you’ve been meaning to call, or try a group that meets regularly. Showing up once can be enough for now. Pay attention to where you feel comfortable speaking and where you feel free to listen.

If this season is bringing up questions about who you are or what matters to you, Femme Health makes room to explore them. You can take your time deciding what you want to carry forward and what you’d like to make space for next.

Femme Health offers virtual therapy and online support groups for women only, including support for empty nest syndrome, life transitions therapy, identity crisis in women.
