The part that’s uncomfortable, necessary, and kind of magical—if you let it be.
We all love the second half of that phrase.
“…bring May flowers.”
The bloom.
The reward.
The sunny part.
But nobody talks enough about the April part.
The soggy, muddy, gray-area season.
The part where things feel messy.
Where everything feels a little off, but you can’t quite name why.
Where the ground is soft, the sky is heavy, and you’re tired.
In therapy, April is when people start realizing the patterns they’ve been repeating.
It’s when the “aha” moments get quieter but deeper.
It’s when things start to come up—not to make life harder, but to make space for healing.
April in therapy looks like:
- Saying things out loud that you’ve only ever thought
- Naming emotions without needing to fix them immediately
- Crying over something small, then realizing it’s not about that thing at all
- Feeling stuck… right before something shifts
April is where the work happens.
The inner tilling. The small movements. The re-rooting.
And yes, it’s messy.
But it’s necessary.
Because the bloom doesn’t happen despite the rain.
It happens because of it.
So if you’re in an “April” season right now—emotionally, relationally, or mentally—
Know this: nothing’s wrong with you.
This is the part that comes before the good part.
The May flowers?
They’re coming.
But for now? Let it rain.
