From the desk of Dr. Dave

I do not know whether you are looking for help for your self or someone close to you, or both.   But you may be here on this page because you are wrestling with some very personal issues and you sense that the stakes are very high.    I agree with that feeling and believe that in the crisis (or crises) of mid-llfe that the stakes can indeed be very high.   It is possible that

   your career,  your health, your marriage or long-term relationship, your peace of mind, or all of these things combined are very much on the line.  

The mid-life crisis has a bad reputation due to the outward forms it can take when we chase after the cliched cures for its deep discontent, such as shiny new sports cars, partners, or jobs.    But the mid-life crisis is not, in itself a negative or destructive thing (though the way we handle it may be).     There are also other quieter forms this crisis may take... such as a quiet despair that no one else knows about.      Maybe on the surface of life everything looks just fine, but you have an inner restlessness that can not be shaken.    Perhaps you  try to shake it with more work, more activities, or an extra drink or two at night.   But it still comes to find you in the quiet  when you are alone with your own thoughts. 

"Mid-life" is a metaphor for anytime where we have logged enough miles that certain things have been settled, accomplished, or are well under way.   No one after all,outside of a life threatening illness,  really knows if they have passed the literal mid-point  yet.      A 'crisis' now means that there is something absolutely vital and deeply personal, that we have not yet made a home for in the life we have built for our self up to this point.

There are some clear signs of the unsuccessfully navigated mid-life crisis.    They may include:

• Loss of energy, hopefullness, and positive visions of the future.
  
  
• A sense of just going through the motions in some of your major life roles 
  
  
• Depression and anxiety
  
  
• Major relationship discontent, strife or premature rupture
  
  
• Making rash decisions and moves
  
  
• Overwork or declining work performance
  
  
• Fantasies of escape
  
  
• Increased alcohol or substance use
  
  
• An inner sense being trapped or caged in your life
  
  

My name is Dr. Dave Aspenson.  I am a professional, licensed psychologist and for over 25 years have been helping others learn how to survive their crisis, recognize its hidden gift, and to successfully navigate this most critical and vital time of life.     I believe I have some experience and unique perspective that will be of value to you as well! 

Having the desire to do what most are not willing to -  is a huge step you are making toward knowing yourself, being content with your choices, and learning to live your own unique life. 

Investing your time reading the words that I have laid out on this website is a testament to your commitment to not just stumble along blindly, but to really understand what is happening in your life. 

Your Mid-life Crisis is really a Mid-Life Calling.

How you handle the challenge

 determines everything that happens next.

I can relate to where you are right not and how you feel because it was only a few short years ago that I began tenaciously searching for my own answers.  

I was relentless in the pursuit of my own peace of mind because I had tried so many different ways to be content with what I thought I should be, but it just didn't work.

Like me…you’ve probably asked yourself: 

• How much of what I do every day is just habit?

• What would happen if I truly faced my discontent?

• Why do I keep thinking about old dreams I thought I had forgotten?

• What I would really do now, if I had the courage?

•  Now that I know life isn’t going to last forever, 
  what do I want the rest of mine to be?

Experience you can trust to encourage and guide you through this critical journey!

Believe me, I have 'traveled' with and professionally helped many others struggling with these issues, but I also know the Mid-Life journey first hand.  

I know about the stress of deep uncertainty....not knowing what direction to go after years of imagining I had it all "figured out".... feeling at times completely alone even though I had lots of relationships.

I learned that advising others is not the same as dealing with these things myself... But in the process I have also learned more deeply the potential benefits of what is commonly considered a "Crisis".   

Drawing upon all of my personal and professional experience, I've laid out a roadmap for helping you find your way through the Mid-Life Crisis.  I put it together in a way that you can obtain simply and easily in the next few minutes and start feeling better able to direct yourself in a positive direction.

Now available to you in an e-Book format:

A Mid-Life Map:  

Finding Your Path through the Crisis

If you really want to mine the deep potential rewards of this critical time in your life, and safely avoid the many pitfalls and hazards, you need to know the perspectives and strategies you'll learn from this e-Book.

Of course, no one else can really determine your direction in life for you, but with this book you will learn what you need to know to successfully chart your own course.

Are you stumbling along blindly, feeling lost and confused?

... This resource offers clear, down-to-earth and jargon free answers to your questions, doubts, and concerns about how to navigate safely through your own crisis. 

Not only will you discover what you need to know to help yourself or anyone else on the Mid-Life path as effectively as possible, you'll learn how to...

• Identify and recognize a Mid-Life Crisis (MLC) and how to distinguish it from depression and other issues.

• Learn the true meaning and value of the MLC - our culture turns this critical time into a cliché, as if it was all about sports cars or retrieving your childhood.   Nothing could be further from the truth.

• Avoid the major mistakes that many make so you can have the best chance of turning the MLC into a positive and life changing experience - and protect your loved ones.   (Some of these, I have to admit, I also learned firsthand.)

• Discover how to use the tools you need to "listen" to yourself and your own inner voice. 

• Understand the role of your "Neglected Self" (that side of you that is kicking and screaming in the background) and how he or she can help.

• Know when and how to ask for help and what kind you may need.

• Find greater peace of mind and a sense of clarity about who you are and the direction you are headed.

I'll be blunt: I do want you to buy this book!  I want you to have and use this material.   My goal and intention is to provide you with life-changing perspectives that you will not find anywhere else.

Here is something else you should know about me… 

I’m interested in helping people who have a fierce determination to live their own life.    I do not believe in easy or pat answers to the vital issues with which we may have to grapple. 

Nothing is more frightening than a life un-lived!
