Be Well Therapy Studio

What's in my bag? Therapist & mom edition 👜

Summer outings with a toddler are a whole production — and honestly, being prepared is the thing that keeps me regulated just as much as it keeps my daughter
regulated. 😅

Here's what's always with us:

🧴 Diaper changing pouch — diapers, wipes, rash cream. Always.

🥕 Snacks — low sugar, high nutrition, a little tupperware, and everyone's mood improves

👙 Swimwear — because plans change and a prepared mind is a flexible mind

🕶️ Sunglasses — for both of us, obviously

🖍️ Fidgets & activities — colouring books and small toys do more for anxiety than we give them credit for

💧 Reusable water bottle — packed with ice because cold water is genuinely a nervous system reset

The therapist in me knows that regulation starts with the basics. The mom in me knows that a snack and a change of scenery can turn a whole day around. 🌿

Therapy is one hour a week. The other 167 hours? That's where the real work happens.
Growth doesn't pause when the session ends, and you don't have to white-knuckle it until your next appointment. These are small, doable ways to stay connected to yourself in between.
Save this one. You might need it on a Tuesday at 2pm when things feel heavy and your next session feels far away. 🤍
