How can your mental health impact your style choices?
Mental health influences personal style by giving yourself and others a glimpse into who you are and what has shaped you. Everything from self-expression, mood-driven color choices, and the accessories we cherish can be influenced by past trauma, current struggles, or resilience. Comfort and functionality become priorities during challenging times. Body image and confidence issues can lead to style preferences that either embrace or conceal. Social interaction and adaptability also play a role, with individuals adapting their style based on their mental well-being, social comfort, and personal identity. Overall, personal style serves as both a reflection of and coping mechanism for mental health.
How does StyleTherapy help?
At StyleTherapy, we help clients begin processing past and current situations, providing a tangible way to navigate and express emotions through their style. By curating a wardrobe that reflects personal growth, individuals can use techniques learned in StyleTherapy to reconcile their past, fostering a sense of empowerment and aiding in the present moment.
What we do during a Style Session
Throughout the Style Session, we’ll explore the emotional and psychological dimensions of style, uncovering how your clothing choices intertwine with your personal identity and self-expression. Our mission is to not only enhance your outward appearance but also empower you to embrace your authentic self through intentional and confidence-boosting style choices.
