🎄Are you struggling this Christmas? 🎄
And I don’t mean financially.

For many people, Christmas brings a rise in anxiety, pressure, and expectation.

This is true for neurodiverse children and adults — often on a much bigger scale, especially for those newly diagnosed.

It can overwhelm us all — not because we’re “too anxious”,
but because our bodies are dealing with too much pressure.

More noise.
More people.
Less routine.
More expectation.

That’s nervous system overload.

What helps:
🐴 Keep familiar routines where possible
🐴 Use movement and heavy work before talking
(carrying shopping, groceries, pushing, walking)
🐴 Lower social demands
🐴 Make exits and quiet spaces non-negotiable

Through a horse lens:
When a horse is unsettled, we reduce pressure and increase predictability.
This is why body-based, equine environments can be so regulating.

Less pressure.
More safety.

If this resonates, you’re not failing — and nothing is “wrong” with you.
Your nervous system is responding to overload.

Regulation first. Expectations second.
This applies to adults too. 💛
