The very words \u2018mid-life crisis\u2019 can induce feelings of angst, unease and a desperation to recapture what we feel that we\u2019ve lost. We desperately do not want to be the stereotype, but sometimes a red sports car or the affair is too tempting. \n\nBut Dr Dougal Sutherland and I explore how we can face the thoughts and feelings that herald a mid-life crisis and use them to our advantage and conduct a useful evaluation of our life. \n\nI also share how I desperately did not want to have a mid-life crisis, but it turns out that the chance to re-evaluate my values reconnected me back to me and to those around me. \n\nGet a pen and paper now; you\u2019ll want to take notes. \n\nAbout Dougal:\n\nDougal is a clinical psychologist who teaches at Victoria University of Wellington and works for Umbrella (www.umbrella.org.nz). Dougal has worked with New Zealand diplomats helping with their resilience, mental health, and well-being.\n\nLinks:\n\nWebsite: www.thelonelydiplomat.com \nBlog post \u2018The Lonely Diplomat: on mid-life crises\u2019: https://bit.ly/2Z7C7x9 \nCoaching and other services: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/services\nFriends of The Lonely Diplomat: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/friends \nPlease, support my work: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/support \nThe Lounge: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/thelounge\nStay connected with me and my work: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/subscribe \nContact me: admin@thelonelydiplomat.com
