The Therapy Toolbox

These tools are meant to support you between sessions. They’re not a replacement for therapy or emergency care. If you are in crisis or unsafe, get immediate help. The Therapy Toolbox may not load properly on mobile platforms.

Healing happens outside of therapy too. A deep breath, a short walk, writing a thought, or a gentle self-reminder can help. Use this toolbox to reconnect when life feels hard. Pick any category that feels right; there’s no wrong place to start. Trust what your body and mind need now.

  Gentle reminders

• Different tools help on different days.

• If one doesn’t work, try another.

• Small, regular acts of care add up.

• You don’t have to “earn” caring for yourself.
