Mid-life Crisis

Are you between the ages of 37-60 and experiencing any of the following?

• A strong need for a new, even risky, adventure?
• A feeling of suffocation or anger at a partner who seems to restrict you of your freedom?
• Boredom with the status quo or the mundane routines of your life?
• Confusion/ambiguity about your future role in your personal, family, or career life?
• Second-guessing the choices of your younger adult-self, even fantasizing excessively about new choices

These can be symptoms of what Carl Jung once termed a "midlife crisis," a term fairly commonly recognized in our Western society as a natural response in everyone's adult development.

Natural or not, these feelings are real, and if behaviors (such as excessive spending, risky affairs, unwise career moves) go unchecked, the effects to self and family can be devastating. The midlife crisis can be managed, and psychotherapy can help.

Talking to a psychotherapist can afford you a safe environment to discuss these conflicting feelings so that your can sort through them and formulate and execute healthy strategies responses. Your very valid feelings of anger and resentment can be given the space to breathe in the therapy room, and we can work together to re-regulate your mind, body and spirt to form a safe bridge to the next stage of adult development.
