When midlife comes knocking, we’re often afraid to open the door. So, we ignore the gentle knock which often, over time, becomes an urgent pounding. When we finally realize this unwanted visitor isn’t going to leave, many people feel too ashamed or overwhelmed to do anything about it. Over time it all evolves into a big crisis. In this episode, I talk with Rich Watson – a professional counselor who has walked with hundreds of people though some of the pitfalls of midlife. We talk about what exactly this stage of life is, what causes the risk of crisis, and how to respond in helpful and productive ways. 

If you are ready to explore the possibility of finding a counselor to help you navigate the challenges of midlife, you can find Rich and his associates at Corewell Health, Southwest Medical. You can reach them by calling: 269-429-7727
