Navigating Growth, Connection, & Change
Repairing & Rebuilding
Relationships in Midlife
As a therapist and somatic practitioner, I’ve spent years guiding individuals through life’s transitions—
helping them navigate grief, healing, and the complexities of relationships. But my understanding of
this work isn’t just professional; it’s personal. I’ve moved through my own transitions—divorce,
remarriage, and the deep self-exploration that midlife demands. Looking back, I wish I had access to
this kind of support during those pivotal moments, when relationships felt uncertain, identity seemed
to shift, and the future was unclear. This article is written from both my expertise and my lived
experience, offering insight into how relationships can be repaired, redefined, or gently released with
intention.
