You Don’t Owe Anyone a ‘New Year, New You’: Mental Health in January When Survival Is the Goal
Feeling overwhelmed by New Year’s resolution culture? Philadelphia’s Therapy Center challenges toxic “self-improvement” messaging that harms mental health. When you’re navigating trauma, oppression, or financial stress, survival isn’t failure—it’s success. Our therapists explain why maintenance matters, how rest is resistance, and what compassionate mental health care looks like when traditional goal-setting doesn’t fit your reality. Affordable, sliding-scale therapy available for women, transgender, and gender-expansive communities.
