DISCLAIMER: this isn’t a substitute for therapy and/or medication. Sometimes therapy isn’t accessible. Sometimes we have a bad week and need to recenter ourselves.
I think we can learn from each other and find methods we didn’t even know about! What’s helpful to another may be ineffective to another, and I think learning about an array of methods would be valuable.
What’s been helpful for me:
- Spending time in nature
- Journaling (I would google journal prompts pertaining to my predicaments)
- Guided meditations on Youtube
- Free worksheets: https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-worksheets (my therapist who specialized in CBT used some of these during our sessions, I’m glad they’re free)
