Winter is here—shorter days, longer nights, and the perfect excuse to curl up under a blanket with a cup of something warm. But if you’re a mom struggling with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, body image issues, or unhealthy relationships, winter might feel less like a cozy retreat and more like an emotional hibernation. The good news? This season offers a unique opportunity to slow down, reflect, and prioritize your mental health in ways that can set the tone for lasting emotional wellness.

If you’ve been considering a therapy intensive but aren’t quite sure what to expect, you’re not alone. Intensives are a powerful way to achieve deeper healing in less time, but they can feel like a big commitment.

Let’s talk about why this happens, how to shake it off, and why therapy might just be your secret weapon for making winter your new favorite season.
