Spring Isn’t the Finish Line
Spring Feels Good—But Don’t Stop Your Therapy Yet
When the sun comes out and the days get longer, it’s normal to feel better. Your mood lifts. You have more energy. Things feel easier.
Because of this, many people start to think: “Maybe I don’t need therapy anymore.”
But here’s the thing—feeling better doesn’t always mean the work is done.
Is DBT Right For Me?
People come to therapy because feelings and relationships can feel too big to manage. You might feel sad, angry, or stuck in the same fights with loved ones. Sometimes, these struggles can feel so heavy that life feels hopeless. At Humanistic Therapy NW, one way we help is with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Are You SAD?
Have you ever noticed that you feel more tired, sad, or unmotivated during the fall and winter? You’re not alone. You might be experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD for short.
SAD is a kind of depression that happens during certain times of the year (usually when there’s less sunlight). For many people, it starts in the fall and lasts through winter.While SAD can be challenging, there are a variety of ways—both therapeutic and medical—that can help manage symptoms. The goal is to restore balance and create a healthy environment where you can thrive, even in the darker months.
