POV: You’re Healing and Now Summer Feels Different

Summer usually means sunshine, fun, and hanging out with friends 🌻🍦. But if you’re healing, you might notice this summer feels… a little different. Maybe quieter. Maybe slower. Maybe even a bit strange. And guess what? That’s totally okay!

🌱 Healing Changes Your Summer Vibes

Last summer, you might have felt like you had to say yes to everything—every invite, every plan, every party 🎉. Maybe you pushed yourself even when you were tired or overwhelmed.

But now? You’re learning to listen to your heart and body 💛. You might be:

  • Saying no more often 🙅‍♀️

  • Choosing cozy nights in over big social events 🛋️

  • Enjoying your own company more than before 🧘‍♂️

  • Figuring out how to show up as the new, stronger you 🌟

It’s okay to feel a little weird about these changes. Healing shifts what feels good and what you need.

📱 Social Media Isn’t the Whole Story

Scrolling through your feed might make it seem like everyone else is out having the “perfect” summer ☀️🌴. But remember, social media is just highlights, not the full picture. You’re not missing out—you’re growing in your own way.

💡 How to Make This Summer Yours

  • Do what feels right for YOU, whether that’s solo beach walks or a small hangout with close friends 🏖️👫

  • Give yourself permission to rest and recharge—no guilt needed! 😴

  • Check in with your feelings often and adjust your plans as you go 💬

🤗 You’re Not Alone

If summer feels different, that means you’re healing—and that’s something to celebrate 🎉. Therapy can help you navigate these changes and find your peace.

So here’s to a summer that’s just right for you—soft, real, and full of growth 🌻💛.
