Long description

John Fisher’s Personal Transition Curve shows a stick man going through the highs and lows of change. The curve shows him coming to terms with the fact that change will happen, dealing with what that change means, and gradually gaining confidence in the ‘new world’. The stages are, from left to right: anxiety; happiness [a high point]; fear; threat; guilt; depression [the lowest point of the main curve]; hostility [a downwards offshoot from depression]; gradual acceptance; and moving forward [the highest point of the curve]. An offshoot from happiness is denial; an offshoot from guilt is disillusionment.
