Dr. Samuelle Klein Von Reiche and quarterlifers: on the cusp of something curious

The Carrie Bradshaw life is disappointment waiting ‘round the bend for women in their mid-20s. Why? Because it threatens to never happen. This Dr. Samuelle Klein Von Reiche blog searches why 20-something damsels are way deep into distress.

The ‘90s is the decade of today’s quarterlifers. It is the time Carrie Bradshaw buds out looking like the woman of the world and growing little girls plot their career points to match hers. It is also by this decade’s tail, says Christine Hassler, author of 20 Something, 20 Everything, that quarterlife crisis is coined.

Quarterlife crisis is throwing midlife pity parties at 25. Many women around that age—a few years out of college, single, and looking to settle down in the perfect job, with the perfect husband, and with the perfect life—find themselves falling short of their Sex and the City-infused dreams but nevertheless in the crucible of adulthood: skewering one responsible life choice after another.

Dr. Samuelle Klein Von Reiche has resolved relational issues, which include the emotional ones that also invade quarterlifers.

Hassler agrees that women feel pressured into making “their 20-something years the time when everything needs to be decided.” And rightfully so. They say that with age comes wisdom . . . perspective . . . They almost always forget the confusion, the utter chaos, and the clash between who a woman is and who she wants to be—just how she gets to be wise and less myopic exactly.

Quarterlife is the cusp on which character is cultivated; here, thoughts and emotions are the pivots to accepting the realities of lost chances and agreeing with the risks of life choices. All of these are better said and done with other women and therapists, like Dr. Samuelle Klein Von Reiche, who can work with them the benefit of a thousand self-help books. The goal: forget Carrie Bradshaw and spare everyone else the drama.
