Major Techniques Used In Midlife Crisis Therapy At Compassion Practice

Exploration of Life Values and Meaning: Therapists at Compassion Practice help individuals reconnect with their core values and beliefs. This often involves examining past experiences, relationships, and accomplishments to identify what truly matters and brings meaning to life.

Goal Setting and Action Planning: Once core values are identified, therapists work with clients to set realistic and achievable goals that align with those values. 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT teaches individuals to accept difficult emotions and thoughts without judgment while focusing on taking action towards their values.
