Empty nest syndrome affects parents when their children leave the family home to live independently, study elsewhere, or start their own families. It can generate feelings of emptiness, sadness, loss of purpose, and difficulty redefining one’s identity.

Dr. Robert Bergonzi’s practice in Milan offers psychological support pathways for parents navigating this transition. The therapeutic intervention helps process the sense of loss, redefine one’s role, and discover new sources of meaning and fulfilment.

The pathway may involve individual or couple sessions to explore the emotions surrounding the change, strengthen the couple relationship, and develop new interests and personal projects. The aim is to transform this phase into an opportunity for growth and renewal.
