Wy we both love and fear change

In my work I meet many klients that are longing for anew life in the sun.

A lot of us do.

There are a number of TV shows on the topic moving abroad. This is not the only change we are longing for… maybe renovating a house? Also popular TV shows…, a new job, a new house, a new wife….

We long for change because we want to grow, discover new possibilities, or leave behind something that no longer feels right. At the same time, we are evolutionarily wired to seek safety and predictability, as these historically increased our chances of survival. That’s why the desire for something new and the fear of the unknown can exist side by side.

Change is important to us and therefore It’s quite common for life’s biggest changes to feel like a mix of curiosity and anxiety, hope and hesitation—all at once.

In therapy on mallorca I often meet how hard it is to leave the old and also how scary it is in the new…even if the sun shines.
