The Life Shift Crisis: When is a Breakdown Really a Breakthrough?

“I just don’t know what’s wrong with me.” “I don’t feel like doing anything; I just want to be alone.” “Nothing seems right about my life right now. My family, friends, and work just don’t seem to fit me anymore.” “My emotions are all over the place; one day I feel like crying, the next I am totally numb.” Do any of these statements sound like you? Are you in the process of a major mind, body, or life change? If so, you may be going through the “dark night of the soul.” The good news is that it’s actually a sign that you are on the right track.
