When everything feels a bit too much: especially around the holidays: simple grounding practices can help steady you in the moment.

Try this:
💛 Wrap up in a soft blanket and notice how it feels against your skin. Let yourself get cozy, even for a minute.

🌱 Pause and take three slow breaths, placing one hand on your chest so you can feel each inhale and exhale. No need to change anything: just notice.

Gentle reminders like these can bring you back to yourself, one moment at a time.

Find your own ways to feel safe and connected, however the season finds you.

If the holidays bring a mix of emotions, that’s okay. For many living with PTSD, this season can feel heavy and complicated. You’re not alone if you feel both warmth and worry right now: your reactions make sense.

One gentle kindness: Take time to step away for a few slow breaths, or savor a cozy moment with a warm drink. Small acts of care, just for you, do make a difference.

Sending calm support from Portland. We see you, and you deserve kindness from yourself this week.

The holidays can bring joy — but also overstimulation, long to-do lists, and emotional fatigue.

At Holistic Community Therapy, we support clients in creating real-world strategies for emotional regulation, routine, and sustainable nervous system care — especially when things feel too loud or too fast.

Here’s one of our favorite winter practices, Portland-style:

Next time you’re running errands or juggling a packed schedule, pause somewhere quiet — maybe with a warm mug in hand, soft lighting, and a nearby houseplant.

Take three slow breaths.
Let your nervous system settle.
✨ Notice the comfort around you, even just for 30 seconds.

These are the moments we build on in mental health occupational therapy:

Regulation that fits real life

Tools that are sensory-aware and easy to access

Support that meets you wherever you are

Our virtual sessions are flexible, compassionate, and rooted in the rhythms of everyday life.

If this month left you feeling drained: especially if you’re carrying depression or simply managing the ups and downs of everyday life: you’re not alone. November can feel especially heavy.

Today, let’s pause for a quick self-compassion practice:

Wrap your arms around yourself in a gentle self-hug. Breathe in, and as you exhale, remind yourself: “It’s okay to rest.”

Or, just notice one kind thought you can offer yourself today: it doesn’t have to be grand. Small kindnesses matter, especially when you’re running low.

Take care of your heart this weekend.

Here’s a peek behind the scenes! Our team loves using hands-on tools: like this vibrant color-coded wall calendar: to organize daily routines, set reminders, and visualize progress. It’s all about turning goals into something you can see (and feel good about) every day.

Research shows consistent routines create predictability, cut down on decision fatigue, and set you up for success. Color coding helps your brain remember what's important, and makes it easy to spot patterns in your week. Reminders pace your day, boost follow-through, and reduce stress. And Holistic Community Therapy can help you stay accountable to your plan every step of the way.

Whether you're a fan of pen-and-paper or prefer everything digital, we've got you covered. We’ll teach you how to use Google Calendar, iCal, or your favorite app to keep that structure and boost your independence: no matter where you are.

Our sessions are all about flexible support, real-life skill-building, and a compassionate (often colorful!) approach to mental wellness.

No More Avoidance Piles

Ravi (he/him) used to keep his mail in a drawer.

Out of sight, but never out of mind.

The stack grew.
So did the shame.
Every unopened envelope became a symbol of everything he hadn’t done.

He told us:

“I’m scared of what I’ll find in there.”

So we created structure. But a kind one.

A weekly paperwork check-in — short, simple, supported.

• Music playing
• Timer set
• Gentle accountability

We worked on breathwork, not budgets.

And slowly, he opened his mail.
Sorted the stack.
Tracked one bill.

And then he said:

“I actually feel proud of handling it myself.”

That wasn’t just executive function.
It was empowerment.

✨ Small victories count.
Especially when they come from facing what once felt impossible.

Depression can turn up the volume on your inner critic, making everyday thoughts feel extra harsh. If your mind keeps telling you, "I'm not doing enough," remember: those thoughts aren't always the truth.

Try gently shifting your self-talk to: "I'm doing my best with what I have today." Your pace and your progress matter. You're not alone on this path. Take things one day at a time and offer yourself some kindness( you deserve it.) 💛

Celebrating small wins can lead to big changes! Recently, one of our clients struggled to keep up with a new medication schedule after a health setback. Through virtual occupational therapy, we worked together to build step-by-step habits: picking a dedicated time, using visual reminders, and practicing with a simple pill organizer.

Bit by bit, managing their meds felt less overwhelming: and their confidence soared. It's always inspiring to watch someone transform everyday challenges into new routines that work for their real life.

If practical, compassionate support with routines could help you too, we're here with flexible virtual options to meet you wherever you are.
