LIFE CRISIS COACHING
A life crisis is an event or a period in our lives that affects us deeply and calls into question the life we have been living.
Life Crisis Coaching applies the principles and practices of Integral Coaching to help you respond effectively to a life crisis and create expanded meaning and purpose.
WHAT CAUSES A LIFE CRISIS?
If you've landed here, you are probably experiencing a significant or disruptive moment in your life. Or you might want to make a major change in how you live your life. In either case, your life crisis is likely related to one or more of the following factors:
-
A significant and shocking event, such as a divorce, death or retrenchment
-
A transition from one stage of life to another, such as from mid- to later life
-
A need to overcome burnout and reinvigorate your life with purpose and meaning
LIFE CRISIS IMPACTS
If you're experiencing a significant life crisis, then you are probably also experiencing one or more of these impacts:
-
Thinking: What is happening in your life might suddenly be different from how you had imagined your life would always be. You might feel confused, or struggle to conceptualise how to resolve the challenges you are experiencing. You might worry constantly.
-
Emotional: Your usual good or even mood has possibly quickly plummeted into uncertainty, doubt and feelings of overwhelm. You might be feeling fearful, anxious, frustrated and insecure.
-
Physical: You might also be experiencing physical symptoms that are a result of immense stress, such as headaches, insomnia, heart palpitations, or low energy.
-
Relationships: You might be struggling to find the necessary support in your existing relationships. Or your life crisis might have resulted in the loss of important relationships or be the result of the end of a primary relationship.
-
Work/Vocation: You might be struggling to find work or manage the workload you have as you are experiencing burnout. Or the work you have been doing no longer provides the satisfaction it did in the past. You are seeking a new role or a vocation that will yield fulfilment, or you need to find ways to overcome your low motivation.
