The 4 types of transitions are as follows:

Anticipated – a transition you expect to happen in your life (e.g. career change, relationship change, moving homes, having/losing a child, etc.)

Unanticipated – a transitions which you haven’t planned for and something you didn’t expect to happen or did not happen when you anticipated it would. This type of transition can be particularly stressful or painful.

Nonevent – a transition where you expect something to happen which doesn’t or doesn’t occur when you thought it would (e.g. not being recognized for a promotion, not being able to have a child, not getting an object you wanted, etc.)

Sleeper – a transition that occurs where there is minimal awareness related to the transition (e.g. development of new skills, slipping away of relationships, loss of existing skills, etc.)
