Day 6: Jessica’s Pick Final Day!

We’ve reached the last day of our holiday book series, and Jessica has chosen a powerful, eye-opening read that beautifully ties together mind, body, and emotional wellbeing…

📚 When the Body Says No by Dr. Gabor Maté

As the holiday season ramps up, so do stress, obligations, and emotional pressures we often push aside. Jessica chose this book because it offers a compassionate exploration of how unprocessed emotions, chronic stress, and unmet needs can show up physically in our bodies.

It’s a reminder that self-care is not indulgent it's essential and that paying attention to what our body is trying to tell us is an act of profound self-respect.

This book is perfect for:
✨ Anyone feeling overwhelmed or burnt out
✨ Those curious about the mind-body connection
✨ People navigating chronic stress
✨ Anyone wanting to better understand their emotional patterns

Jessica says:
"When the Body Says No is a book that really highlights how closely our emotional world and physical health are connected. It explains how chronic stress and unspoken emotions can eventually show up in the body as pain, illness, or burnout. What stayed with me is the message that the body will speak up when we don’t and that healing often starts with allowing ourselves to be honest, set boundaries, and say “no” before we reach a breaking point."

Thank you for joining us for our Santa’s Little Helpers Booklist! 🎄💛

We hope these therapist-recommended reads bring comfort, insight, and connection throughout your holiday season.

Day 4: Johnathon’s Pick

Today’s holiday book recommendation comes from Johnathon, and it’s one that speaks directly to compassion, healing, and seeing ourselves through a softer lens…

📚 No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard Schwartz

During the holidays, many of us notice old patterns, emotional triggers, and parts of ourselves we’re not always proud of. Johnathon chose this book because it offers a grounded, hopeful reminder that every part of us even the ones we struggle with is trying to help in its own way.

Through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), this book invites readers into a deeper understanding of why we react the way we do, how our inner system is organized, and how compassion not judgment creates real change.

This book is perfect for:
✨ Anyone exploring their inner world
✨ Folks looking to build self-compassion
✨ People who feel “stuck” in old patterns
✨ Anyone wanting a gentle guide for emotional healing this season

Johnathon says:
"I chose No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz. And of course I did! 😄

Why I love it? Schwartz takes Internal Family Systems (IFS) and breaks it down into simple, accessible, eye-opening concepts that anyone can connect with. If you’ve ever wondered why you react the way you do, or what it might feel like to relate to all your inner “parts” with compassion instead of criticism… this book is a game changer. If you haven’t read it yet, do iiiiiit! Seriously, prepare to think, reflect, and maybe even see yourself in a whole new way.

Have you read it? What did you think?”

Stay tuned our Santa’s Little Helpers will be sharing more meaningful and heart-softening book picks all season long. 🎄💛

Day 5: Tiffany’s Pick

Today’s holiday book recommendation comes from Tiffany, and it’s a powerful, thought-provoking read about relationships, desire, and connection…

📚 Mating in Captivity by Esther Perel
Recommended by: Tiffany

The holidays can bring partners closer together but they can also highlight tension, disconnection, or the familiar dance between closeness and independence. Esther Perel offers a compassionate and refreshing look at how couples can maintain intimacy, desire, and emotional connection in long-term relationships.

This book is perfect for:
✨ Couples wanting to deepen connection
✨ Anyone curious about intimacy and desire
✨ Folks exploring relationship patterns
✨ Individuals or partners wanting a new perspective on love and eroticism

Tiffany says:
"Mating in Captivity explores the tension between the comfort of domestic life and the mystery that fuels sexual desire. The book examines why long-term relationships often struggle to maintain passion and offers insight into how couples can rekindle eroticism through curiosity, playfulness, and intentional connection. Through case examples and clear, engaging discussion, it highlights practical ways to create space for desire to thrive. It’s a thoughtful, eye-opening read that reshapes how we think about intimacy in committed relationships."

Only one more book left in our Santa’s Little Helpers series we can’t wait to share our final pick with you! 🎄💛

Day 3: Owen’s Pick

Today’s book recommendation comes from Owen, and it’s a must-read for anyone wanting to better understand ADHD in themselves or someone they love…

📚 Driven to Distraction by Dr. Edward Hallowell & Dr. John Ratey

The holiday season can amplify the overwhelm, distraction, and emotional load that many people with ADHD experience. Owen chose this book because it brings clarity, compassion, and practical understanding to what ADHD actually is not a lack of effort, but a difference in how the brain works.

This book is perfect for:
✨ Adults exploring their own ADHD
✨ Parents wanting deeper insight into their child’s brain
✨ Anyone craving practical tools and validation
✨ Folks who feel misunderstood or “too much” during the holidays

Owen says:
"Driven to Distraction helped me understand that things like procrastination, disorganization, and constant distractibility aren’t character flaws they’re real ADHD patterns. The book uses relatable stories to show the many ways ADHD can show up in daily life, and it explains how proper understanding and support can make a huge difference.

What I appreciate most is how validating and hopeful it feels. The authors live with ADHD themselves, and their compassion comes through in every chapter. It gave me a clearer, kinder way of understanding the ADHD brain including my own.

Stay tuned our Santa’s Little Helpers still have more incredible reads to share as we move through the holiday season! 🎄💛

Day 2: Brittney’s Pick

Next up in our holiday book series is a heartfelt reminder that you don’t have to hold everything together to be worthy…

📚 The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown

The holidays can stir up a lot of pressure to show up perfectly, host perfectly, parent perfectly, or simply “be okay.” Brittney chose this book because it gives us permission to exhale, loosen the expectations, and step into a more authentic, compassionate version of ourselves.

This book is perfect for:
✨ Anyone struggling with perfectionism
✨ Folks feeling stretched thin this season
✨ People craving gentleness and self-acceptance
✨ Anyone wanting to trade pressure for presence

Brittney says:
"The Gifts of Imperfection is a book that has helped me soften some of my own perfectionist edges. It reminded me that I don’t have to earn my worth by being productive, polished, or “on” all the time. The guideposts feel like gentle invitations to breathe, set boundaries, practice compassion, and reconnect with the parts of myself I’ve pushed aside.

What I love is how the book makes space for authenticity messy, real, and human. It offers a comforting path back to who I actually am, not who I think I’m supposed to be. Every time I revisit it, I walk away feeling a little more grounded, a little less pressured, and a lot more connected to my true self."
Stay tuned our Santa’s Little Helpers have more beautiful reads to share as the week goes on. 🎄💛

🎅✨ Santa’s Little Helpers: Therapist Booklist ✨🎅

Day 1: Buffy’s Pick!

We’re kicking off our holiday book series with a beautiful and necessary reminder for this season…

📚 Rest Is Resistance by Tricia Hersey

The holidays can feel like a whirlwind of expectations, planning, and “shoulds.” Buffy chose this book because it invites us to slow down, reclaim rest as a radical act of self-love, and reconnect with our humanity in a world that constantly pushes us to do more.

This book is perfect for:
✨ Anyone feeling overwhelmed
✨ Those wanting to soften into the season
✨ Folks learning how to honour their limits
✨ People craving a more spacious, grounded holiday

Buffy says:
"A call to "in-action" from Tricia Hersey the founder of The Nap Ministry, Rest is Resistance for everyone caught in the cycle of grind culture where our worth is measured by our productivity. Rooted in Black Liberation, this book invites us to tune into what our bodies are asking from us, to nap, to daydream, to resist systems of oppression, and to imagine a well-rested and liberated future. This book reminds us that we are all deserving of rest and that it is possible, and necessary, to slow down."

Stay tuned as each therapist shares a book that brings comfort, inspiration, or healing this time of year.

What people think therapy is like:
🛋️ Lying on a couch, talking about your childhood for an hour
🧑‍⚕️ Therapist silently nodding and saying, “Hmm, tell me more”
😬 Feeling like you’re being judged or analyzed the whole time

What therapy is actually like:
💬 Having real conversations about what’s happening in your life right now
⚙️ Making space for whatever you’re carrying stress, anger, overwhelm, all of it
🧩 Learning to understand yourself, not trying to "fix" yourself

Therapy isn’t about being told what to do.
It’s about figuring out how you want to show up in your own life and getting support while you do it.

Still not sure what therapy would actually feel like for you? Let’s talk. You can book a free consultation through the link in our bio, or just send us a DM and we’ll help you set it up!

Friendship isn’t just a feel-good part of life it’s a vital part of mental health.

Research shows that strong, healthy friendships:

✅ Lower cortisol (your stress hormone)

✅ Improve emotional regulation

✅ Reduce anxiety and depression risk

✅ Increase resilience during hard times

✅ Improve overall life satisfaction and self-esteem

💡 Humans are wired for connection.
When we have trusted friends:

We recover from stress faster

We feel safer sharing what’s really going on

We build a stronger sense of belonging, which literally protects mental health over time

👉 Friendship isn't about having a big social circle it’s about having a few people who really see you.

Your friendships are part of your mental health toolkit.

Let’s keep building connections that help us grow. 💛

You can:
✔️ Want to be strong for everyone
✔️ Feel completely exhausted

You can:
✔️ Love your people
✔️ Still need space

You can:

✔️ Still feel stuck sometimes

Two things can be true at the same time.
Life is rarely all-or-nothing.

If you’ve been holding two things for a while and you’re not sure what to do with them, book a free consultation. No pressure, just a starting point. Link’s in the bio.
