Why this matters
When a change takes hold, the hardest part is often not the change itself but not knowing where you are inside it. One week feels like an ending, the next like empty drift, and you judge yourself for not simply getting on with things.
A transition is not a single event. It moves in stages, and each stage asks something different of you. Naming the stage you are in turns a vague, anxious fog into something with edges, something you can actually work with.

The evidence beneath
Bridges, W. (1980). Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes. The foundational account of transition as three distinct phases: an ending, a neutral zone, and a new beginning.
Transition research consistently finds that the messy middle, the neutral zone, is not a failure to progress but a necessary and generative stage of change.
