If you’re newly sober, holiday season can light up the mind fast:

“I don’t know how I’ll get through all these parties without drinking.”
“I’m scared I won’t have as much fun.”
“I’m worried people won’t think I’m fun.”
“I won’t be able to socialize without drinking.”
“What will I tell people if they notice I’m not drinking?”

Ryan Strathy MS, LPC uses ACT therapy to help clients notice these thoughts, create space from them, and choose value-driven steps - one event at a time.

Read Ryan's latest blog post where he breaks it down (with practical tips + what to say when people push):

When life feels chaotic, language can help ground you. Adding small reframes to your thoughts helps you separate what’s happening right now from what feels permanent.

These phrases can help regulate the nervous system by teaching your brain to create distance from distress instead of collapsing into it.
