Looking Back on July...

Looking Back on July: A Month of Connection, Courage & ThisIsMyTherapy

As July comes to a close, we find ourselves pausing, taking a deep breath, and reflecting. We’re feeling something big—Connection.

This month, we launched a campaign that felt personal, important, and brave. And wow, you met us there.

We Talked About Therapy Differently

With the launch of our July campaign #ThisIsMyTherapy, we aimed to spark a conversation that felt real. We wanted to remind everyone that therapy doesn’t just happen in a room with a professional. It unfolds in everyday acts of care, in the quiet, steady rituals that help us feel okay, grounded, and hopeful. This is something we initiated this month, but we’re excited to carry it forward throughout the summer and beyond.

Thank you to everyone who has gotten involved with the movement—through your photos, stories, words, and interactions, you’ve shown us just how wide and beautiful the definition of ‘therapy’ can be. You reminded us that:

• Therapy can look like watercolours and wellies.

• It can be journaling by the window.

• It can be a coffee with someone who truly sees you.

• It can be a child who knows how to say, “I need a break.”

• It can be music, movement, or just... rest.

  
  

What we’ve loved most this month is the honesty. People didn’t post their highlight reels; they shared their truths with us. Our lovely team talked about their own mental health boosters. Parents opened up about what helps them recharge. Students used affirmations with confidence. Every moment shared, both online and off, helped make mental wellbeing more visible, more human, and the topic more normalised.

The Impact of Connection

Though July is ending, this campaign isn’t something we’re packing away. The ideas we’ve explored—care, connection, reflection, and community—will continue to shape what we do. We’re excited to keep this energy alive at home, in school, and in our daily lives. Because therapy—'real therapy'—is continuous. It lives in the moments between the sessions, and you’ve helped prove that this month. So thank you all.

A Final Reflection

We want to express a huge, heartfelt thank you. Thank you for leaning in. Thank you for being brave enough to share. Thank you for reminding us why this work matters. Whatever your therapy looks like, we see you. And we’re walking this journey with you.

Here’s to carrying the spirit of #ThisIsMyTherapy into every month that follows.

Continuing the Conversation

As we move forward, let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s share our experiences and support one another. After all, we’re all in this together.

We’ll be back soon with more blog posts, sharing the wins with you all! Remember, your journey matters, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Embracing New Beginnings

In the spirit of new beginnings, let’s explore what it means to embrace change. Change can be daunting, but it can also be a beautiful opportunity for growth. Whether you’re navigating the challenges of parenthood, embarking on a new career, or simply trying to find balance in your life, remember that you’re not alone.

We’re here to provide resources, support, and a listening ear. Together, we can create a community where everyone feels empowered to thrive.

The Importance of Self-Care

Self-care is not just a buzzword; it’s a vital practice that can transform our lives. It’s about taking the time to nurture ourselves, both physically and emotionally. Whether it’s indulging in a warm bath, going for a walk in nature, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of tea, self-care is essential for our wellbeing.

Let’s make a commitment to prioritise self-care in our lives. It doesn’t have to be elaborate or time-consuming. Small, intentional acts can make a world of difference.

Building a Supportive Community

As we continue this journey, let’s focus on building a supportive community. We all have unique experiences and perspectives to share. By coming together, we can learn from one another and grow stronger as a collective.

Let’s celebrate our victories, big and small. Let’s lift each other up during challenging times. Together, we can create a safe space where everyone feels valued and heard.

Looking Ahead

As we look ahead, let’s carry the lessons of July with us. Let’s continue to embrace connection, courage, and the spirit of #ThisIsMyTherapy. We’re excited about what the future holds and can’t wait to share more with you.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Your stories, your voices, and your experiences matter. Together, we can make a difference.

We’ll be back soon with more insights, stories, and support. Until then, take care of yourselves and each other.
