Impermanence

The awareness that time is limited — a source of anxiety and, at once, one of the strongest sorters of priorities.

Term

How it shows up

The awareness often wakes with illness, a loss or a milestone birthday. What follows is either flight into activity or anxiety — more rarely, reflection.

What we do with it in therapy

We don’t close questions about impermanence with consolation. Often the answer to them turns out to be a change in how the week is arranged.

Write to me How therapy works
This is what insomnia taught me. What has it taught you? Traumatic experiences can leave you weakened — on recovery and strength. On the worries that drain our energy. On why differentiation matters in relationships. Self-confidence starts with self-awareness. On how hard it is to start — and harder still to keep going.
