The right way to wholeness
is made up of fateful detours and wrong turnings.
Carl Jung
We pass through many thresholds in our lives…birth, education, vocation, intimacy, marriage, divorce, parenthood, retirement, change, loss, death, just to name a few. Moments of self-discovery are also thresholds. Choosing to take up a difficult piece of personal work or to embark on a new life path are also thresholds. Sometimes we cross thresholds in life that we did not expect to cross, such as the loss of a relationship, a job, a loved one. Other thresholds are planned, like education, vocation, marriage, or parenthood, but turn out nothing like we thought…. Thus, it is often helpful to have assistance when crossing thresholds–whether preparing to cross one, finding oneself in the midst of stepping through, or dealing with the whole new world one has found on the other side. That is where counseling and consultation services can be immensely beneficial to health and wellbeing.
