Family gatherings can stir up old emotions before you even realize it. Your body often remembers what your mind has learned to ignore. Stepping into these spaces with awareness can make the experience gentler.
Before you arrive, take a moment to settle.
During the gathering, notice your cues.
If something feels too loud — emotionally or physically — step away.
Afterward, give yourself time to unwind and breathe.
