Therapy in the Middle of the Workday Is a Lot Like Cafeteria Lunch on Meatloaf Day

(Technically it’s a break… but does it feel like one?)

Let’s be real: therapy isn’t not work.

It’s just a different kind—emotional work, healing work, human work.

Just like school lunch wasn’t really a break—it was noisy, rushed, and required its own kind of stamina. 

So when therapy gets wedged between Zoom calls and deadlines, it can feel more like a task to power through than a space to truly arrive in. You might show up mentally cluttered… and log off with no buffer to process what just surfaced.

Here’s the thing: transitions matter.

Your nervous system doesn’t switch modes like tabs on a browser. You need space to shift—between roles, emotions, and expectations.

Without that space:

Even good things can feel disorienting

Even nourishing things can feel like effort

Even therapy can feel like just another item on your to-do list

At Ever Human Therapy, we care about more than what happens in the session. We support you in creating the conditions for real change—before, during, and after:

Rituals to ground and prepare

Time to reflect and reintegrate

Practices that honor your full human rhythm—not just your calendar

Because therapy isn’t a snack break. It’s a commitment to yourself. And you deserve better than lukewarm meatloaf under fluorescent lights.
