Maybe you’ve been to therapy before. You made progress, felt better, and returned to your daily life. But now, something feels… off. Maybe you’re overwhelmed again, stuck in old patterns, or simply feeling disconnected. So, how do you know when it’s time to come back to therapy?
Here are some signs it might be time to return to counselling:
- Recurring emotional triggers: You’re noticing old wounds resurfacing—despite your past progress.
- Increased irritability or sadness: Your mood feels heavy, and everyday tasks are draining.
- Life transitions: A move, breakup, job change, or loss can reignite stress or grief.
- Feeling stuck: You’re repeating unhelpful patterns in relationships or self-talk.
- You miss the space: Sometimes, we just miss having a place to reflect, be heard, and grow.
Therapy isn’t just for crises—it’s also a form of self-care, growth, and maintenance. Just like you revisit the dentist or doctor, your emotional wellbeing deserves regular attention, too.
At Wild Mountain Counselling, we create space for clients returning after a break. You don’t need to start from scratch. Whether it’s a check-in session or a deeper dive, coming back to therapy can be an empowering act of self-awareness.
Healing is a journey, not a one-time destination. When the road feels rough again, therapy can help you find your footing.
