Do you notice clients in distress as they enter into, or are living through, their mid-life years? Do your clients wonder if they are experiencing a mid-life crisis, or have you wondered this yourself? Has the mid-life journey been presented to you as acute;, and are you seeking new and meaningful ways to explore this lifespan milestone? Then this workshop is for you! You will learn how to reframe the mid-life crisis; as a mid-life awakening, a significant process rich with opportunity as clients explore how their identities, roles, values, and goals may be causing their lives to shift in radically different ways. Clinical concepts such as Jungian depth, the hero's journey, and dark night of the soul will be taught to best help clients navigate what is often a confusing and disruptive time, and techniques to help companion your mid-life clients will be provided.
At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Explain mid-life development
- Identify developmental tasks and challenges during mid-life
- Define a mid-life crisis versus mid-life awakening
- Demonstrate clinical applications specific to the needs of mid-life clients
