Bridges Transition Model

The Bridges Transition Model explains how people respond to change in three stages: Ending, Neutral Zone, and Beginning. First, individuals must let go of the old way, which can bring feelings of loss or uncertainty. Next, in the Neutral Zone, they may experience confusion or discomfort as they adapt to new circumstances. Finally, in the Beginning stage, they embrace the new situation and develop new ways of operating. Understanding this model helps people navigate change more effectively by recognizing their emotions and experiences throughout the transition process.
