Running is better as your second therapist, not your primary.

Here at Trailhead Counseling DFW we are working to change the narrative and culture around mental health and running. While, it’s common to hear the phrase “running is my therapy” running in itself is not therapy and instead can be used in unhealthy ways to manage emotions or maintain eating disorders and unhealthy exercise behaviors. Research shows that runners are at a higher risk than the general population for development of mental health struggles and these struggles impact both their life and running goals. We desire to help you thrive both with your mental health and your running endeavors!
