Building on this foundation, we aimed to create an inherently therapeutic environment, i.e., one where people experience specific, measurable psychological benefits, but instead of coming from interpersonal therapy, they would instead come from the space via intentional experiences and sensory input.

	Recognizing both the high power of traditional psychotherapy and the extreme limitations of environmental design, we did not attempt to replace any aspects of traditional therapeutic methods, but rather complement them by encouraging psychological changes that would enhance them.

	Specifically, we set out to identify the most prevalent barriers that could possibly be mediated through environmental changes and take steps in the home environment to help break down those barriers. Our goal is to affect residents in positive ways such that professional therapists can spend less of their time impeded by these obstacles and more time delivering more effective therapy, ultimately shortening recovery times and improving outcomes.

	Certain primary psychological barriers to therapy, such as depression, anxiety, difficulty regulating emotions, and various types of insecurity are already mitigated by existing measures. Some of the other barriers that research suggests can be combated with novel environmental interventions include:		Certain primary psychological barriers to therapy, such as depression, anxiety, difficulty regulating emotions, and various types of insecurity are already mitigated by existing measures.
