Adjustment Disorder

Life can flip in an instant. Disruptors, whether it be a breakup, a move, a new position or even a good change such as becoming a parent can throw us off.

Believe it or not, you might be suffering from adjustment disorder if after a huge change in life you still feel overwhelmed, sad or anxious. It’s more frequent than you may think. It is not common, but thankfully, with the correct support it is treatable.

Clamon Counseling Services is here to help you regain your footing.

You will learn how to adapt without falling apart with compassionate care and tried-and-true methods.

What Is Adjustment Disorder?

Adjustment disorder is a subconscious defense mechanism from your mind and body to a high degree of life stress. It can appear days or weeks later, particularly after a change that feels shocking or unwanted. 

In contrast to long-term conditions, such as depression or anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders are situation-specific. So the symptoms may feel just as heavy.

Common triggers include:

• Divorce or separation
• Job loss or career change
• Moving to a new city
• Major illness or diagnosis
• Becoming a parent
• Retirement
• Starting or leaving school
• Loss of a loved one 

You don’t have to “get over it” alone. Therapy gives you the tools to cope, heal, and grow, on your own terms.

Signs You May Be Struggling With Adjustment Disorder

Not sure what you’re feeling? These signs are common:

Emotional Symptoms

• Feeling hopeless or lost
• Constant sadness or crying spells
• Intense worry or anxiety
• Feeling numb or detached
• Angry outbursts or irritability

Behavioral Symptoms

• Avoiding friends or activities
• Withdrawing from loved ones
• Trouble sleeping or eating
• Using substances to cope
• Missing work or school

These changes frequently manifest within 3 months of a significant stressor. If they are lasting longer, or are becoming worse, it is time to get in touch.

You’re Not Weak. You’re Human.

Others underestimate the difficulties of transitions. They say things like:

• “It’s not that big of a deal.”
•  “Other people have it worse.”
• “I should be able to handle this.”

Changing is difficult, even when it is the anticipated result. Your feelings are real. And they deserve care.

Clamon Counseling Services provides a space for you to safely unpack what is going on without judgement, pressure, or shame.

How Therapy Helps With Adjustment Disorder

Adjustment disorder therapy focuses on short-term support with long-term impact. It helps you:

• Process overwhelming emotions
• Understand your stress response
• Build healthy coping strategies
• Reframe unhelpful thought patterns
• Regain a sense of control and direction

We use a mix of evidence-based approaches like:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Mindfulness and stress-reduction techniques
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
• Supportive counseling tailored to life changes 

No two journeys are the same. We customize each plan based on your unique experiences and goals.
