Negotiating midlife transitions can be a challenge. We want to sit back and enjoy the wisdom and pleasure this developmental juncture can offer but we are often experiencing new life circumstances such as separation, divorce, children leaving home, moving, illness, care or loss of a parent or loved one. And then there’s the fact that our bodies are changing and our cognitive functioning seems different. “Where are those car keys?”
The way the culture tends to understand midlife is not particularly helpful for women and men undergoing this important transition. Midlife tends to be understood as a chronological and biological event rather than as a psychological and spiritual process.
In therapy we look at tools and strategies that will help you negotiate your present life circumstances. We also work together to help you use the transformative potential of midlife to revision your life and your way of being in the world.
