This week, many of your clients are moving through complicated feelings — around food, family, expectations, and the pressure to “be merry.”
If this season feels tender in your sessions, you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re meeting people exactly where they are.
Here’s a gentle reminder for the holidays:
🌿 You don’t have to make the season magical — just safer.
Your presence, attunement, and steady voice may be the calmest moment in someone’s week.
🌿 It’s okay if your clients are struggling right now.
The holidays often amplify the very wounds eating disorders grow from: perfectionism, comparison, chaos, and unmet needs. Their symptoms are signals, not failures.
🌿 Compassion is enough.
You don’t need the perfect intervention. You don’t need to fix the family environment or the holiday meal. Holding space with warmth and humanity is its own kind of healing.
If this week feels heavier, know this:
Your work matters in ways your clients may never fully put into words — but they feel it.
We’re wishing you a season of gentleness, presence, and small moments of rest. 💛
