Get • It’s time for the next Less/More list! I like to try to line them up so the ‘less’ has a sort of intentional link or thread into the ‘more’ item, across from it.

Get • The holidays can bring up a mix of emotions, & dialectics help us make sense of that. Dialectics means two seemingly opposite things can be true at the same time. There’s no “right” way to feel. Your emotional experience can be layered & still valid.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some holiday truths that can coexist:
-You can feel joy for the season and grief for what’s changed.
-You can enjoy traditions and create new ones that fit who you are now.
-You can feel grateful and still struggle with your mental health.
-You can want connection and choose quiet, restorative time alone.
-You can be doing your best and not feel “festive” all the time.
-You can appreciate your family and need space from them.

Get • The nature of crisis is that many of us go blank under pressure. What we’ve learned in the past about supporting someone through a mental health crisis may fly out the window when an actual crisis occurs. ⁠
⁠
This visual alternative to an RO-DBT* crisis checklist is designed to be fun to review and easy-to-remember- a strategy that can help when it really counts, since visual learning involves more parts of the brain and leads to better recall under pressure
⁠
*This Mental Health Crisis response model was developed as part of RO-DBT therapy, which is specifically designed to serve individuals with high self-control and low impulsivity. All items on the list may not be safe, appropriate, or applicable to everyone experiencing a mental health crisis, and if you’re not sure, or feel in over your head, reach out for support, offer referrals, and/or stay with someone, call 988 together, and get connected to support and resources.⁠

Get • Saying ‘NO’ doesn’t make you difficult…it makes you healthy. The holidays come with pressure, expectations, and old patterns, but this year, you get to choose what supports your peace!!

Get • When you’re overwhelmed, small shifts can create real emotional relief. Opposite actions aren’t about forcing yourself into the “right” behavior. These tiny steps help your brain and body remember that you’re not stuck, even when everything feels heavy.

If you’re navigating anxiety, low motivation, or emotional burnout, these reminders can help you find a little momentum again.

Get • Your anxious brain might be loud… but that doesn’t make it right. 💭🧠⁠
⁠
OCD and anxiety have a way of convincing us that if we feel something deeply (guilt, fear, urgency), it must be true. But feelings aren’t facts. And you don’t have to treat them like they are.⁠
⁠
Instead of spiraling into fixing, avoiding, or proving… try gently noticing:⁠
✨ “This is a feeling, not a fact.”⁠
✨ “This is a story my brain is telling me.”⁠
⁠
You don’t have to believe everything you think. Especially when your mind is on high alert.⁠
⁠
Which of these ‘feels true’ thoughts shows up for you the most?
