One simple way to support your mental health might be spending a little time outside. Many people notice that fresh air, natural light, and quiet surroundings can help ease stress and bring a sense of calm.

It doesn’t have to be a long hike or a big plan—maybe just a short walk, sitting outside with your coffee, or noticing the sounds around you. Small moments in nature can sometimes help you feel more grounded and refreshed.

Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it starts with stepping outside. 💛

🛑 Understanding the 5 Types of Boundaries

Boundaries are an important part of healthy relationships—and they’re something we often explore in therapy. They help protect your time, energy, emotions, and sense of self.

There are five common types of boundaries:
• Physical
• Emotional
• Mental
• Time
• Material

Learning how to identify and communicate your boundaries isn’t about pushing people away—it’s about creating relationships built on respect, clarity, and balance.

In therapy, we can work together to understand where your boundaries feel strong and where they may need strengthening. 💛

Thinking About Therapy & Wondering About Insurance?

We know insurance questions can feel overwhelming—we’re here to help. At Begin Within Therapy, we work with several insurance plans and are happy to help you understand your options.

✔ We are currently in-network with:
• Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO
• Magellan (Advocate site 302)
• United
• Aetna
• Cigna
– Little Company of Mary / OSF Medical site 242
– EHP Silver Cross Medical site 502

Because coverage can vary by therapist and plan, we recommend reaching out to confirm availability:
📞 312-469-0486
📧 info@beginwithinchicago.com

For plans we are not in-network with, we are considered out-of-network. We also encourage you to contact your insurance provider to understand your benefits, including deductibles, number of sessions covered per year, and what types of therapy are included (individual, couples/family, or group).

We’re happy to walk you through the process—just reach out. 💛

📱 Did you know taking a break from your screen can benefit your mental health?

Spending too much time on your phone or computer can take a toll on your mental health—often without us even realizing it. Constant notifications, scrolling, and screen time can increase stress, fatigue, and overwhelm.

Taking small breaks throughout the day to step away from technology, notice your surroundings, and reconnect with the present moment can make a meaningful difference. Even a few minutes offline can help reset your mind and nervous system. 💛

Understanding Emotional Flooding

Emotional flooding happens when your nervous system becomes overwhelmed by intensity—often during conflict, criticism, or overstimulation. In these moments, your brain shifts into survival mode, making it difficult to think clearly, communicate calmly, or stay present.

Rather than forcing yourself to push through, taking a step back to regulate allows your body to return to a sense of safety—so you can re-engage with more clarity, connection, and compassion. 💛
