Why Summer is the Perfect Time to Start Therapy

Summer is a time for sunshine, vacations, and maybe even a little extra time on your hands.

But amidst the barbecues and poolside lounging, have you considered taking a step towards your mental well-being? Here at My Denver Therapy, we believe summer is the ideal time to start therapy.

Why Summer Shines for Starting Therapy

  • Reduced Schedule, Increased Focus: School’s out, work schedules might be lighter – summer offers a natural break from the daily grind. This frees up valuable mental space to dedicate to therapy. You’ll have the time and energy to truly invest in yourself and explore your goals.

  • Building a Strong Foundation: Let’s face it, life can get hectic come fall. By starting therapy in summer, you can establish a strong foundation and rapport with your therapist before the busier months arrive. This consistent support system will be invaluable when life throws its inevitable curveballs.

  • Developing Coping Skills in Sunshine: Summer often brings a sense of optimism and energy. This positive frame of mind can be a powerful asset when learning new coping mechanisms. You can practice relaxation techniques in the park, explore mindfulness walks in nature, or use journaling under the warm summer sun.

  • Head into Fall with Confidence: Fall can bring a return to routine, and sometimes, stress. By starting therapy in summer, you’ll be equipped with the tools and strategies you need to navigate challenges more effectively. You’ll enter the fall feeling empowered and ready to take on whatever comes your way.

Therapy Isn’t Just for Crisis

Therapy isn’t just for those in crisis. It’s a proactive investment in your mental health, just like taking care of your physical health. Summer’s relaxed atmosphere allows you to address anxiety issues, explore personal growth areas, or simply fine-tune your emotional well-being.
