Boundaries and Anxiety: They’re More Connected Than You Think
In clinic, and in everyday life, I see this constantly — anxiety isn’t just about “overthinking” or “worrying too much.”
Very often, it’s about boundaries.
When we struggle to say no…�When we over-explain…�When we take responsibility for other people’s emotions…�When we say yes but mean no…
Anxiety grows in the space where our boundaries should be.
Your nervous system knows when something isn’t right. Even if you smile. Even if you cope. Even if you tell yourself “it’s fine.”
Here’s a common example:
You’re already overwhelmed.�Someone asks for a favour.�You instantly say, “Of course!”�Later that night, you feel tense, resentful, wired, and can’t switch off.
That isn’t weakness.�That’s a boundary being crossed — by you.
If this resonates, you might gently ask yourself:
• Where do I say yes when I mean no?�• Do I fear disappointing people more than I fear burning out?�• Do I feel responsible for managing other people’s reactions?�• What would change if I trusted that “no” is a complete sentence?�• Where in my body do I feel it when something doesn’t sit right?
Healthy boundaries don’t push people away.�They protect your energy, reduce anxiety, and create safer relationships.
If anxiety is a pattern in your life, it may not be a flaw in you.�It may be a boundary asking to be strengthened. If this resonates with you, drop me a message, let me know, always happy to talk 💛

WHEN CHRISTMAS HURTS...

Every year, as the lights start to twinkle and the shops fill with glitter and noise, I notice something shift in my therapy sessions. Clients who have been steady and grounded all year begin to speak of overwhelm. There’s a familiar sigh in the room — a mixture of exhaustion, guilt, and quiet sadness.

Christmas is supposed to be “the most wonderful time of the year,” yet for so many, it’s the most demanding.

🎁 The Weight of “Should”

In December, I often hear sentences that start with “I should…”

“I should be looking forward to it.”“I should feel grateful.”“I should make more of an effort with my family.”

These “shoulds” carry enormous emotional weight. They create a silent standard of what a good person or good parent or good partner does at Christmas — and when reality doesn’t match that ideal, people feel like they’ve failed.

In therapy, I sometimes remind clients: the version of Christmas we’re sold — all harmony, love, and sparkle — rarely exists. Most families are messy. Old wounds get triggered. Conversations that were just about bearable in July can feel unbearable when wrapped in tinsel.

💸 The Cost of Togetherness

Money comes up a lot. The cost of gifts, travel, food — and the unspoken competition of who’s doing it “better.”Recent research showed that nearly one in three people in the UK go into debt over Christmas. And while we rarely say it out loud, there’s often shame beneath the spending — a sense of “if I can just get this right, maybe I’ll feel enough.”

But it’s not only financial. The time and emotional labour of the season can be immense, especially for those who carry the invisible job of “making Christmas happen.” Many of my clients — often women — talk about juggling everyone’s needs, smoothing tensions, and trying to hold it all together.

🕯️ The Darkness Beneath the Lights

This season also arrives at the darkest time of the year, both literally and emotionally.I see more low mood, more fatigue, more tearfulness. The lack of light and the social comparisons (“everyone else looks so happy”) can heighten a sense of isolation - (I blame those christmas adverts!)

And for those who are grieving, the season can reopen wounds. Empty chairs at the table can speak louder than any carol.

💔 Love and Loss

It might surprise people to know that December and January are two of the most common months for break-ups.Relationships that have been quietly strained throughout the year can buckle under the weight of Christmas — the money worries, the family visits, the forced cheer.

I’ve sat with clients who felt blindsided when things ended just before the holidays, and others who finally admitted they couldn’t keep pretending. The season seems to magnify whatever truth has been quietly waiting to be faced.

🌱 Making Space for Yourself

If you find yourself dreading Christmas, or feeling that low hum of anxiety, please know — there is nothing wrong with you.It’s okay if it doesn’t feel like the “most wonderful time.”

A few things I often remind clients:

You’re allowed to opt out of what doesn’t serve you.

You can say no — to gatherings, to spending, to the emotional performance of cheerfulness.

Resting and protecting your peace are valid forms of celebration.

You don’t have to earn your rest by first exhausting yourself.

Sometimes, the most healing gift is permission — to do less, feel more, and let the season be imperfectly human.

Its good to talk. Teri x

Hi, I’m Teri — I’ve spent 25 years working with people to reduce anxiety, find clarity and make decisions that feel right. I blend traditional counselling with personalised tools like Mindfulness, so therapy fits around your life and feels practical from day one. I love seeing clients face to face or online to discover calmer days and clearer choices. If you’re curious about a kinder, more grounded way to get support, let’s start a conversation.

I’ve developed a simple mini‑framework I use in sessions to help you notice, name and respond to emotions—practical steps you can try today. 1) Pause and breathe for 10–20 seconds. 2) Notice physical sensations (tight chest, shaking, warmth). 3) Give the feeling a name (sad, anxious, angry). 4) Ask what this emotion needs right now (rest, space, to be heard). 5) Choose a small response (grounding, a brief walk, journaling). Repeat and reflect. Over time this reduces reactivity, improves relationships and helps you cope with anxiety and grief. I bring 25 years’ experience and a compassionate, personalised approach, often combining these practices with Walk & Talk and other modalities. Try one step today and tell me which helped you most — I’d love to hear. Link in bio 💬🌿✨

Grief and loss shows up in most therapy conversations I have somewhere. It’s life’s changes… usually we’re not ready and thats ok. Sometimes we can manage it ourselves - sometimes we get everything thrown at once and sometimes it seems like as soon as you have processed one, then immediately along comes another… and just sometimes you need to offload that. Not a fix. Not a dramatic sudden change … but a realisation and an awakening like watching a sunrise in the morning. ❤️
