Five Stage Model

The Five Stage Model is a framework that explains how individuals experience and adjust to major changes or new situations. It typically includes these steps: first, you may feel overwhelmed or deny the change; then, you might become frustrated or anxious. Next, you start to explore and understand the new circumstances. After that, you adapt and develop new skills or insights. Finally, you accept and integrate the change into your life. This model highlights that adjusting to change is a process, involving emotional and cognitive shifts, helping people navigate transitions more effectively.
