Summer is a great time to start therapy or intentionally continue with therapy despite big changes in routines and schedules. Take time to support yourself and feel grounded during this season of high activity.

This season invites a shift toward self-compassion, the practice of treating ourselves with the same kindness we extend to others. Instead of asking, “Did I do enough?” or “Did I meet my goals?” we might try questions like:

• What did I learn?

• How did I grow?

• What moments mattered most?
