“You know it just ain’t easy….”
You can find positive messages about aging all over our culture.
“Getting older is fine. There is nothing you can do to stop it so you might as well stay on the bus.” – John Byrne, writer
“Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” – Satchel Paige, baseball player
Sure, it’s great to be glib about it, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
And it’s even harder to navigate it alone.
Staring at old photographs. Trying to make sense of all the choices that lead you to this exact place.
You worry that if you open up to someone about it, you’ll be consumed by nothing but regret.
Fretting that a younger therapist isn’t going to get it.
How could they?
But you don’t have to – I can help.
I can acknowledge all your very real fears and concerns. Just attempting to find a therapist is a very brave step, so no wonder rolling out your entire life feels terrifying.
I’m here to take your hand and guide you through this, and I won’t let you be alone.
It might be painful, but that’s because you’ve lived a long life.
Now, it’s time to look back on it – to face it head on – and see what you see, feel what you need to feel, pinpoint the things you’ve been holding onto that no longer serve you well.
And to gain the strength and confidence finally to let go.
It may not be easy, but it’s worth it.
At this point in your life, you’ve seen – and lived – a great deal. You’ve earned the right to live the life you want – on your terms.
