Summary/Abstract: Middle age is a period in the life that can bring profound personal and existential challenges. This study focuses on the phenomenon of midlife crisis, defined as a complex period of change and searching, often accompanied by questions of personal identity, meaning in life and the search for new directions. The authors explore how spiritual accompaniment can help individuals overcome these challenges and support them in personal transformation. The article uses a method of introspection and reflection on biblical and symbolic images combined with an analysis of the literature to reveal the multidimensional nature of the midlife crisis. The paper offers practical suggestions for integrating spiritual elements into counseling practices, thereby identifying perspectives for professionals engaged in spiritual accompaniment at this time of life.
