Have a heart-to-heart with a close friend or mentor. Learn to say “NO”. Intentionally schedule “me time” on your calendar or planner. Reward yourself for completing small tasks. Use online tutorials to learn something new. Develop a relaxing evening ritual. Allow yourself to feel and express all your feelings (in a safe and appropriate environment). Seek out support from a therapist, coach, social worker, peer or counselor. Try some mindful exercises to help bring you into the present moment. Try some adult coloring as a form of anxiety and/or stress release. Remind yourself of the good stuff in life by writing a list of things you’re grateful to have. Take a moment to allow your feelings to be present without judging them. Stop being your harshest critic. Allow yourself to make mistakes.
Some people have a hard time finding a private space that feels quiet enough, safe, and comfortable, especially if the therapy process is interrupted by family members, mail and food delivery people, or your pets.
Technical difficulties may arise that might disrupt the audio or video, altering the flow of the session.
Some people feel less intimacy in the relationship with their therapist when comparing in-person experiences to teletherapy, and canceling therapy or changing it last minute will be slightly more embarrassing.
Start your therapy to achieve the well-being you dream of
