Preparing Your Mental Health for the Winter

I know, I know. Who wants to talk about winter when summer just ended? But the winter months are hard for many reasons (shorter days, less sunshine, and that darn cold) and it can be helpful to plan ahead rather than have those low moods sneak up on us.

I recognize that not everyone has the means or feels the need to meet with a therapist to navigate the upcoming season. As an alternative support, I’ve created an e-book as an affordable option for some basic information on how to take care of yourself and get through these winter months. Whether you are new to exploring strategies or need reminders of what’s worked for you before, this e-book hopes to provide some direction and resources so you have some support over the next few months.

Topics include:

  • Dealing with low motivation

  • Identifying what is helpful to add to your day (and what to avoid)

  • Preparing for your specific needs and communicating them to others

  • Managing the holiday season

  • Practicing self-compassion

You can purchase the e-book here for $25.
20% of all proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders

If you struggle with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) during the winter, it may be helpful to have some additional support. You are welcome to reach out to see if I have availability or connect with Camino Wellbeing who has several sliding scale options.
