Research demonstrates that one-third of retirees suffer psycho-emotional stress as they disengage from their career identity and struggle to establish and adjust to a new normal in retirement.
\nAdding to the challenges of adjusting to retirement is the fact that effective transitions typically take more time, psycho-emotional-spiritual energy, and commitment than people generally perceive. Especially those retiring from fast-paced employment. Consider this:
\n\u2022\tMaking significant change is a two-stage process, each of which entails three phases. The second phase begins only with psychological acceptance that the past really has ended.
\n\u2022\tEach of these phases is psycho-emotionally laden. A particular challenge for many men.
\n\u2022\tThe transition to retirement compounds, and may extend, the challenges of an incomplete mid-life passage. This is a particular challenge for people who have (or believe they have) successfully dealt with, avoided, or have not yet arrived at this normal life stage.
\n\u2022\tEach person\u2019s response is subjectively unique, and specific to their own history. Therefore, each must do her or his own work for it to be successively life-enriching.
