OUR LIFE DEVELOPMENT CLIENT IS TYPICALLY ONE WHO STRUGGLES TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE THE CHALLENGES OF DAILY LIFE AS A RESULT OF FEELING STRANDED.
Socially Stranded: One who experiences a feeling of loneliness – disconnecting from peers and friends – based on the assumption that others are progressing in life at a faster pace.
Physically Stranded: One who experiences physical setbacks that hinder their progression in life. Many begin to sleep more, become depressed and feel lethargic. Others may overeat or undereat to only be left with fatigue and sadness.
Financially Stranded: One who experiences a feeling of financial imprisonment due to poor financial decisions – poor planning, lack of follow-through, or the inability to budget. Many remain dependent on parents, friends, and family.
Spiritually Stranded: One who appears to others as losing their inner light, seemingly unhappy and lacking serenity. Low self-esteem, loneliness and self-induced shame often deter naturally positive feelings or a connection to a higher power or spiritual force.
PUTTING YOUR LIFE INTO FOCUS
These hurdles and lack of direction can result in debilitating anxiety, severe depression, and, in some cases, substance abuse. In Vivo assists clients in navigating these hurdles and ‘unlearn’ old behaviors. Through this transformative process, clients cement healthy behaviors they’ve learned with us into powerful new daily habits.
