Many of my clients have shared that Stranger Things feels uncomfortably familiar—not because of the monsters, but because of the fear, control, and constant survival mode.

Religious trauma often isn’t about faith itself. It’s about what happens when fear replaces safety, and authority replaces trust in your own inner knowing. Healing can mean rediscovering that curiosity isn’t dangerous, your body isn’t wrong, and safety can exist outside rigid belief systems.

This insight stayed with me, so I created this post to explore it. Take a look, and let me know your thoughts below 👇 👀

Two years have gone by, and his presence remains close. Miss you Gramps ❤️

He showed me what it means to witness—without fixing, without urgency, without conditions. Before I had language for it, he embodied the truth that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

He taught me that healing is not found in the right words, but in being deeply seen. That presence itself is care.

Grief changed me. Love shaped me. And his legacy lives on in the way I sit with others.

Holiday Survival Guide Chapter 4: The Family Dynamic Defense

Remember that scene where Kevin sets up tripwires and paint cans? Your boundaries are your tripwires. You love your family and your family loves you, but they can still step on your last nerve. Here's a few b***y traps to deal with those filthy animals:

💒 Life stage interrogations: Have a polite, one-sentence response ready and stick to it. "That's a private matter, but I'm excited to see you," or, "I'm focusing on my career/dog/plant right now!" Keep your peace!

🫠 Political arguments about sensitive topics: If the tension rises, excuse yourself. "I just need to check on the ham," or, "I need some air." A 10-minute walk is better than a 2-hour brawl. Dodged that bullet!

👶Feeling Like a Kid Again (Reverting to old roles/tensions): Mentally remind yourself: "I am a capable adult. I can leave this conversation. I can say no." Be physically present, but emotionally independent.

Remind yourself that it's the season of togetherness - plan a walk, a skating session, a game, or an activity with your family members to focus on spending time and creating memories with one another. And don't be afraid to take a solo time out and reconnect with yourself.

Holiday Survival Guide Chapter 3: Financial Firepower

The consumer pressure that comes with the season of gifting makes us all want to be ‘rich’ like the McCallisters, but reality hits hard. The stress of spending can eclipse the joy of giving. The real gift is being together with your loved ones - and making sure that you prevent financial anxiety and putting yourself in the red for 2026.

💰 Set a Hard Cap: Before you step into a single store or click ‘buy,’ write down your total holiday spending budget. Not per person, but the entire bucket. Decide the right amount you want to spend this season and stick to it.

🎁 The Gift-Giving Reframe: Focus on presence over presents. Propose a family shift: Secret Santa, an experience-only gift rule, or a donation to charity in someone’s name. Cheeky suggestion: Give the gift of a handwritten coupon book for services—“”One Free Load of Laundry”” is priceless.

✍️ Track It or Trash It: Use your notes app, create a spreadsheet, or write in your journal to track every dollar spent. Seeing the total is the only way to avoid the January money panic. Knowing the enemy is half the battle.

Setting a plan will reduce your stress through the holiday season and beyond. You got this!
