The days after the holidays can bring a mix of relief, exhaustion, sadness, or emotional letdown.

If you’re feeling drained or unexpectedly low, you’re not alone. This is a common nervous system response after intense social and emotional energy.

A few gentle ways to support yourself:
• Schedule quiet time before jumping back into routine
• Lower expectations for productivity
• Check in with your body before saying yes

We see this in-between space as an important moment for reflection and care—not something to rush through.

The days leading up to the holidays can feel heavy—especially if you’re holding grief, stress, or complicated family dynamics.

If your emotions feel “too much” right now, take a breath. You’re not behind, broken, or doing this season wrong. You’re human.

A gentle reminder as the holidays begin:
✨ You’re allowed to feel joy and sadness at the same time
✨ You don’t need to explain your boundaries
✨ Rest is productive when your nervous system needs it

Slowing down is sometimes the most meaningful way forward.

We’ve provided trainings (recorded and live) to over 100 clinicians in Ohio and here’s what they’re saying:

“I learned so much! As a young mom I really appreciated the material and your presentation.”

“Wonderful information and insight. Was a great first training in this specialty.”

“[The presenter] was knowledgeable, passionate, and presented information in a clear manner. I love how she emphasized ethics and decision-making as part of the clinical work.”

The holidays are often packed with everything—plans, people, expectations, and to-do lists that seem to grow overnight. In the midst of all the giving and gathering, self-care can quietly fall to the bottom of the list.

If you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or a season of transition, this time of year can feel especially draining. One gentle reframe we love at Wild Hope Therapy: self-care deserves a spot on your calendar, just like everything else.

Scheduling self-care doesn’t have to mean anything elaborate. It might look like:

Blocking 10 minutes between events to step outside or take a few grounding breaths

Saying no to one extra commitment to protect your energy

Scheduling therapy, a walk, or an early bedtime as a non-negotiable

Creating quiet space after gatherings to decompress and reset

When self-care is planned, it’s easier to follow through—especially when emotions run high and routines feel disrupted. This isn’t about being selfish; it’s about being sustainable.

12/18/2025

The holidays can bring closeness, connection… and sometimes hard conversations we didn’t exactly RSVP for.

If you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or a life transition, this season may come with big feelings—and using I-statements can be a gentle way to stay grounded while honoring your needs.

I-statements help you express yourself without blame or defensiveness. They focus on your experience, not on changing someone else. That can be especially helpful when emotions are high and expectations are unspoken.

A few examples you might practice before holiday gatherings:

“I feel overwhelmed when plans change last minute, and I need some advance notice.”

“I’m not ready to talk about that right now, and I appreciate your understanding.”

“I value our relationship, and I also need to take breaks when conversations feel heavy.”

“I’m working on taking care of my mental health, and this is what support looks like for me.”

Using I-statements doesn’t guarantee the conversation will be easy—but it can help you stay aligned with your values and boundaries.

Therapy can be a supportive space to practice these conversations, build confidence, and process what comes up afterward. At Wild Hope Therapy, we believe self-advocacy can be both kind and clear.

This holiday season, you’re allowed to speak from your truth—gently, honestly, and at your own pace.

Our team recently had the opportunity to partner with for a Wintering Well Workshop! Despite a snowstorm, it was a blast -- thank you Cleveland!

In the book “Wintering,” Katherine May says: “Doing those deeply unfashionable things—slowing down, letting your spare time expand, getting enough sleep, resting—is a radical act now, but it is essential. This is a crossroads we all know, a moment when you need to shed a skin. If you do, you’ll expose all those painful nerve endings and feel so raw that you’ll need to take care of yourself for a while. If you don’t, then that skin will harden around you.”

Winter is a time of the year when things feel heavier and more effortful as we navigate the normal demands of our busy lives with a lack of natural light and seemingly never-ending cold. Since this happens every year, we tend to feel like we should be used to it or like we shouldn’t “complain.” But in truth, the impact of winter on our physical and emotional health is well-documented; and as moms who often put other’s well-being before our own, it can feel like a struggle.

We invite each of you to join in a Wintering reflection and hope that you find yourself radically reflecting and slowing down this season.

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Just change your thoughts.”

It’s one of the core ideas behind Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—a well-researched and widely used approach that helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns.

But if you’ve ever tried to “think your way” out of anxiety, shame, or trauma and found it didn’t quite work, you’re not alone. For many women, especially those carrying deep emotional wounds or living through ongoing stress, simply changing your thoughts isn’t enough.

Our latest blog explores:
🌿 What CBT and cognitive restructuring really mean
🌿 Why overthinking can actually block healing
🌿 How trauma and shame complicate the process
🌿 Complementary approaches that go deeper—like mindfulness, body-based work, and relational repair

The holidays can be *a lot.*

Even when it’s filled with good things—family, traditions, and celebrations—this season can stir up stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue. Between the expectations, social plans, and memories that resurface, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs.

Scheduling therapy now is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself. It gives you space to:
🌿 Set healthy boundaries before stress piles up
🌿 Process complicated emotions that can surface this time of year
🌿 Build tools for managing overwhelm, guilt, or loneliness
🌿 Reconnect with what actually brings you peace and meaning

You don’t have to navigate the holidays alone—or wait until things feel unmanageable.
Therapy is a way to care for *you*, so you can move through the season with more grounding, clarity, and calm.

Ever feel like making *any* decision takes every ounce of energy you have?

You’re not alone. Anxiety can make even simple choices—like what to eat for dinner or whether to text someone back—feel like monumental tasks. And when the stakes are higher (a move, a job change, a relationship decision), that sense of *paralysis* can be overwhelming.

When anxiety shows up in our decision-making, it’s not because we’re indecisive—it’s because our nervous system is trying to keep us safe. The fear of making the “wrong” choice can trap us in endless what-ifs instead of moving forward with confidence.

Our latest blog explores **how anxiety impacts decision-making** and offers insight into why you might feel stuck—and how therapy can help you find clarity again. (link in bio)

As we move into a season that often invites us to pause, reflect, and practice gratitude, we at Wild Hope Therapy are holding space for a deeper kind of thankfulness—one that includes the land beneath our feet and the histories that shaped it. Gratitude is not only an internal practice; it’s also a relational one. It asks us to acknowledge where we are, how we arrived here, and whom we share this space with.

At Wild Hope Therapy, we recognize that our offices in Columbus and Cleveland occupy land with a long, rich, and painful history. We acknowledge that these are the traditional homelands of the Wyandot, Miami, Potawatomi, Delaware, Peoria, Seneca, Ojibwe, Osage, and Shawnee people in Columbus; and the Delaware, Shawnee, Wyandot, Miami, Ottawa, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, Kickapoo, Wea, and Kaskaskia people in Cleveland.

These tribal nations were forcibly removed through the 1795 Treaty of Greenville and the violent dispossession brought on by the Indian Removal Act of 1830. As we express gratitude this season—for community, for healing, for resilience—we also hold awareness of the injustices that brought many of us to live and work on this land. Gratitude becomes deeper and more meaningful when it is paired with honesty, humility, and action.

We are committed to honoring and reconciling our shared history. This includes uplifting the thousands of Indigenous peoples who currently call Ohio home and recognizing the brilliance, strength, and ongoing contributions of Indigenous communities. We continue to educate ourselves about the historical and current impacts of colonization, and we strive to support equitable access to culturally grounded Indigenous mental health care.

Practicing gratitude can be a grounding ritual—an invitation to slow down and reconnect with what sustains us. In that spirit, we invite you to join us in reflecting on the land you inhabit, the stories it holds, and the ways we can collectively move toward justice, healing, and belonging. Whether it’s learning about local tribal nations, supporting Indigenous-led organizations, or simply pausing to acknowledge the land each day, small acts of awareness can ripple outward.

This season, may your gratitude be expansive—rooted in truth, connection, and the hope that comes from honoring each other and the land we share.
