The holidays can be really hard if you come from a less-than-healthy family system. There’s so much pressure for it to feel connected and joyful, even when being around family brings up old wounds, roles, or trauma. If this season feels heavy instead of happy, there’s nothing wrong with you—your nervous system is responding to what it remembers.

These are some examples of what it can sound like when you pause, regulate, and communicate what’s actually happening inside instead of exploding or swallowing it.
