@atsedescarseth: A midlife crisis and a liminal space aren't the same thing. A crisis is a period of distress, identity questioning, or a strong pull toward change, and it can be the rupture that starts something without being the something itself. Liminality is the invitation that follows. It's the threshold between who you had to be and who you might be on your own terms, and staying there long enough lets you get curious about inherited beliefs instead of running on default settings. Alignment also doesn't require quitting the job or blowing up the relationship. It can start with naming what no longer fits, or making one less self-abandoning choice on a hard day. #therapistsoftiktok #therapytok #midlifecrisis
