Summer is a Great Time for Counseling
Longer days and slow summer nights are a great time to be able to focus on goals and things that you may have been putting off for a while. This can range from cleaning out the dreaded closet or making a road trip to see family. No matter the task, summer is a great time to get things done. With school being out, summer camps beginning and calendars being cleared of practices and commitments, summer is a great time to seek therapy.
Addressing Patterns of Mental Health
Many clients notice their mood shifts dramatically in the winter months. Increased anxiety, low mood and feelings of hopelessness often take root in the cold, dreary and shorter days of winter. When spring begins to bloom, everything seems brighter, blooms abound and there is a sense of renewal in the air. You may ask, if my mood is great and is lightened in summer time, why would I want to seek counseling? Wouldn’t I want to wait until I am struggling and unable to cope on my own? The benefit of seeking help when things are good is to get a baseline of factors that affect your mental health and its detriment. If you can identify the factors that are leading toward positive mental health, you can quickly identify the negative mental health factors when the busyness of fall and cold days of winter come around.
Refresh, Reset is in the Air
If you visit a thrift or resale store, their inventory is bursting. Summer is a time of purging the clothes that are too small and the kitchenware you never have used, but is taking up valuable kitchen real estate. Summer is a great time to take stock of your mental health. Begin journaling when you feel like it, track your moods and emotions. You may begin to see a pattern of feeling anxious or being unmotivated to get anything done. Therapy for Anxiety and Depression can help you identify the factors that are influencing your mental health and assist with personalized strategies to get you back to living your best life.
Scheduling Flexibility
Counselors and therapists alike see a lighter case load in summer especially if they see a lot of kids and teens. This is due to vacations, summer camps or simply being out of town. This lighter case load means that scheduling an appointment for anxiety therapy or counseling for depression does not mean having to wait weeks or even months to get an appointment. Cypress Roots Counseling has convenient online scheduling. You can log in and see the available schedule at any time and choose the time that is best for you.
Looking ahead to busy fall schedule
By making your mental health a priority, when schedules begin to pick up in the fall, counseling can already be a part of your rhythm. Which assists you in relieving issues of anxiousness when schedules begin to fill up and time becomes limited. This is often when mental health can suffer due to not listening to our body and doing what is best for us.
