As a trauma-informed therapist, I see this all the time clients feeling confused or frustrated with themselves for struggling more during the holidays.
If you’re feeling anxious, irritable, disconnected, or emotionally tender right now… I want you to know:
🩵 It makes sense.
🩵 You’re not broken.
🩵You’re remembering.
The holidays can stir up deep emotional residue: old family dynamics, unmet needs, grief, pressure to be “on,” or just the sudden change in pace and expectations.
This season, I invite you to move with compassion, not criticism.
✨ Choose peace over performance.
✨ Create space where you can breathe.
✨ Let your needs be valid, even if they look different from others.
You’re allowed to protect your energy, take up space, and feel however you feel.
