You are afraid of age discrimination

The picture of yourself in your mind is nothing like what you see when you look in the mirror. You feel that you are not ready to get older, but your body is changing. People do not look at you like before, and you feel that you are being discriminated against because of your age.

And although you feel full of energy, you feel that it is hard to accept that people judge on age; they no longer look at you like when you were younger, and you feel resentful about it. You find yourself borderline obsessed with trying to go back in time and it is leaving your day-to-day life filled with anxiety, grief, regret, frustration, and anger.

You have tried several aesthetic treatments; however, you notice that it is hard to fight against the time. You don't want to feel at war with your body as it naturally changes and ages. You don't want to spend your entire day trolling real self-reviews trying to find the magic wand that is going to leave you perpetually frozen in time at some magical age. 

Every day brings up new fears about your career options, losing your sexual appeal, and what retirement might look like. Have you really done enough to plan for your future so you don't have to be a burden to anyone? Although you try not to think about it, in reality, you feel powerless over your future.

You see women your age who look happy and at ease. You wonder- what do they know that I don't? You don't want to see other women as threats or items of comparison. You are getting more bitter and overwhelmed by the day, and you fear that you are going to end up alone and miserable. 

You try to numb your pain maybe by drinking, smoking, or eating; however, the next day you feel even worse. You are not ready to get older, and it makes you feel anxious and depressed.

 You Can Feel Good About Your Life and Your Future Again!

It is true that you cannot come back in time, however, you can change your future for the better!

Embracing the midlife stage can be a very liberating and empowering experience. Individuals who come for therapy with me addressing those issues report feeling safe, accepted, empowered, and warmly respected for who they are and from where they come from.

During therapy, we will explore and address your emotions and concerns about aging, and the several aspects that might be negatively affecting your emotions and health. We will get rid of your limiting thoughts, and find new ways to bring you back to the bright side of life. Upon termination, you will make peace about aging and will experience improved empowerment, self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-care.

When working in individual therapy, my specialties include Trauma Therapy, Midlife Crises Therapy, Codependency Therapy, Grief Therapy, Divorce Therapy, Career Counseling, and Hypnotherapy.
