There is no age that is ‘too old’ for therapy. Just because we have more years on our clock does not mean that life stops giving us tough situations with which to come to terms, such as bereavement, ill-health, changed circumstances and/or family difficulties or even moving into a care environment.
There may also an element of wanting to make our peace with things in our past and/or be heard and validated about how tough things were for us as a child or at specific chapters in our lives.
Therapy can be an opportunity for a professional to bear witness, to validate and empathise with how things were for us. This in and of itself can be a pathway to releasing ourselves from past pain and finally finding peace of mind. It can be a way to find compassion for ourselves and maybe for others, a letting go of what we have carried for so long.
I have worked with people of all ages up to and including their late 80s as they work to find their way through what today is bringing them and/or how the past still impacts.
