Looking After Yourself

In therapy, you’re doing important and often emotional work. Between sessions, you might find these practices helpful:

  • Grounding techniques (e.g. 5-4-3-2-1 sensory exercise)
  • Mindful breathing or guided meditations
  • Keeping a reflective journal
  • Gentle routines that promote rest and structure
  • Speaking to someone you trust

If you ever feel unsure or overwhelmed between sessions, please reach out and we can talk about how best to support you.
