Navigating a Midlife Crisis: Tips and Ideas for Emerging Stronger

In this week's episode I interview Dr. Karen Dyck and Dr. Melissa Tiessen, two mid-career psychologists working in private practice. They founded Intentional Therapists out of a recognition that self-care is incredibly important for mental health clinicians, yet they receive little to no training in this area. The mission of Intentional Therapists is to help female mental health clinicians thrive in their professional roles and normalize self-care in all its forms. During the episode, Karen and Melissa discuss the four C's of their self-care model and how it can help female mental health clinicians move from surviving to thriving in their work and life.

In this episode I'll be discussing what a midlife crisis or challenge is, how to know if you're experiencing one, and some ideas to help you overcome it.

Midlife challenges can be difficult to navigate, but they can also be an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. By seeking support, reassessing your values and priorities, trying new things, focusing on your physical health, and practicing self-compassion, you can overcome a midlife challenge and emerge stronger and more fulfilled on the other side. Remember, it's never too late to make positive changes in your life.

I had a different topic planned for this week's PIIP episode, however it's been a tough week and I wanted to share what I do when I'm struggling with something - as it may help you too.

It's practicing mindfulness.

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present and engaged in the current moment, without judgment or distraction. It involves focusing one's attention on the present experience, including thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment, in a non-judgmental way.

Mindfulness is often practiced through various techniques such as meditation, breathing exercises, and body scans. It has been shown to have a wide range of benefits, including reduced stress and anxiety, improved focus and concentration, increased emotional regulation, and greater overall well-being.

In this episode I share what mindfulness can help with and how you can become more mindful.

Plus learn more about the app I mention in the episode and get a free 7 day trial and a course on transforming your relationship with anxiety. https://mindfulnesscom-partner-program.pxf.io/c/3141999/1521271/16803 (affiliate link)
