      Things That Feel Like Therapy in Montreal

      Version Anglaise

      Some obvious, some not-so-obvious—but hard to argue with any one of them.

      The Main est soutenu par ses lecteurs. Les abonnements sont ce qui nous permet de rester indépendants. Cinq dollars par mois — les restaurants, les guides, le bulletin hebdomadaire et que faire chaque week-end. Soutenez-nous aujourd'hui. Soutenez-nous aujourd'hui.

      A little bit niche, we know, but we had a shitty couple of days recently—culprits include the weather, long line-ups at our favourite lunch spot, doomscrolling, staring into the void, the usual—recently and decided to take stock of the things that make us feel good.

      Sure, some of these are restricted to the absolute highest highs of the year *cough SUMMER cough* but there remains here many things we can return to time and time again to lift us up. We're not talking about the things that give us medication, but the experiences which truly feel therapeutic, the supportive moments and places that are there for us.

      Barring actual therapy, when you need extra support, an outside perspective, or are seeking some guidance in your life, you can look to any of these.
