After therapy — May Tree Support Library

Step 1 of 5 · Orientation

Orientation

Sessions often keep working in the hours afterward. We can give that some space, instead of returning straight to the day.

A reminder. You can pause here. You can return later. If anything feels like too much, close the page.

Orientation

Sessions often keep working in the hours afterward. We can give that some space, instead of returning straight to the day.

A first step

If you can, take five quiet minutes before opening your phone or returning to a task.

A little context

Post-session activation, tenderness, or fatigue are common. They are not signs the session went badly — often the opposite.

Gentle reflection prompts

What stayed with you from this session?
Is there anything you want to bring to next session before it slips away?

Practice

Containment Imagery

A short imagery practice for setting something heavy aside — not to avoid it, but to return to it more steadily later.

A reminder. You can pause here. You can return later. If anything in this pathway feels like too much, come back to the first step or close the page entirely.
