Showing titles in Adulthood & Aging

What if the arguments you keep having, the jobs that slip through your fingers, and the love that never seems to stick aren’t about bad luck or bad partners— but about you? Not the adult you. The eight-year-old you. The one who learned to survive by shrinking, fighting, pleasing, or disappearing. In O.W.N Your Sh!t, licensed clinician, certified neuropsychotherapist, and marriage and family therapist, Dr. Renee Brooks pulls back the curtain on the invisible childhood patterns that still run your adult life.

„Krisen gehören nun mal zum Leben.“ Wirklich? Was wäre, wenn wir die natürlichen Lebensübergänge wieder als solche sehen könnten – als normal, als Chance, Altes loszulassen und sich weiterzuentwickeln? Geburt, Pubertät, Berufseinstieg, Familiengründung usw., all das sind potenzielle Auslöser für Krisen in unserer sich immer schneller drehenden Welt. Oft klammert man sich an vermeintlich Sicheres, wehrt sich gegen unausweichliche Veränderungen – und verpasst den Entschluss, mutig selbst den nächsten Schritt zu tun.

Wenn Eltern sich trennen und ihre Kinder dabei nicht gut begleitet wurden, hinterlässt das bei vielen Menschen Spuren. Meist ist es erwachsenen Trennungskindern gar nicht bewusst, dass manche ihrer belastenden Denk- und Verhaltensmuster mit der elterlichen Trennung in der Kindheit zusammenhängen - etwa ein geringer Selbstwert, Harmoniesucht, Aggressivität oder das Gefühl, für alles verantwortlich zu sein, und die Sorge, in Beziehungen zu versagen.

Many cultures, including Japanese and Indian, don’t seem to suffer from midlife crises. At least part of the issue seems to be influenced by culture.

No one teaches us how to grow old. It just happens. Sometimes quickly, like with an illness or injury. Then, we feel our age quickly. Sometimes slowly, like a change in hair color to shades of gray or shades of bald. Whether quickly or slowly, there are always surprises. Some pleasant, some painful. The joy or sadness of growing old usually rests with our perception and expectations.
