Do You Suffer From ‘Preparing to Live Syndrome’?

Posted on Tuesday 29 July 2008

Professional coach/psychotherapist James Dolan sees it quite often: lawyers who say they're going to do what they want with their life when they retire. Dolan calls it Preparing to Live Syndrome, and it causes suffering, depression, anxiety and may require medication. The sufferer sees life as an endless chain of meaningless experiences that lack passion but that he must tolerate, because those experiences lead to some future point when all will come together. Dolan explains what actions lawyers can take.
