How to deal with a pesky therapy hangover

Have you ever felt completely wiped out after a therapy session? Well, that's a thangover. But don't worry, they're completely normal.

Not because of the therapy itself, but because of how I feel afterwards: drained, depressed, possibly nursing a headache, too mixed-up to focus on my work, and feeling a strong desire to curl up under my duvet and hide from the entire world for the rest of the day/week/century.If you’ve experienced similar feelings, then you’re far from an outlier. Just Google ‘therapy hangover’ and you’ll see how common these symptoms are, as counsellor and psychotherapist Fiona Corbett explains.

‘You may feel drained by the processing you’ve done, or want to be alone to cope with the thoughts or feelings arising from the session.’ ‘My coping strategy is to book in an hour after therapy sessions, to decompress,’ explains SEO consultant Natalie Arney. ‘And if that hour’s not enough, obviously I can’t cancel the day – but I’ll give myself a treat to look forward to, like getting a takeaway.’As for how you spend that decompression time, it’s a good idea to recharge your brain with something relaxing and low-key.
