The Bridge Model

The Bridge Model is a framework used in counseling and conflict resolution that helps individuals understand and transition through different emotional states or perspectives. It visualizes personal growth or change as crossing a bridge—from a place of difficulty or discomfort toward a more positive or balanced mindset. This model emphasizes recognizing where you are emotionally, understanding the obstacles, and taking deliberate steps to move across the bridge to achieve clarity, resilience, or resolution. It’s a helpful tool for guiding people through change by focusing on the journey from struggle to stability.
