Yes, I’ve sketched a few maps in my notebooks. It usually starts with a sharp shock—everything feels suddenly off. Then comes the anxiety, that tight‑knotted feeling that “what if?” runs through your head. From there a person often splinters: some push against the change, others pull inward, isolating themselves, or even swing to anger or frustration. Once the initial whirlwind subsides, a quieter, more reflective space emerges where the person starts to reassess the situation, weigh options, and gather information. That’s the “consideration” phase. Finally, if they manage to see the change as something that can be integrated, they slip into a tentative acceptance, sometimes followed by a slow rebuilding of routine or identity. The tricky part is that nobody follows that path linearly—there’s backtracking, overlaps, and occasional detours. It’s more of a patchwork quilt than a straight line.
