The holidays aren't easy for everyone.

Grief doesn't take a holiday. It shows up at family gatherings, during gift exchanges, in the empty chair at the table. And that's okay. What you're feeling is valid.
We wrote this guide to help you navigate grief throughout the entire year—because every season brings its own challenges, and you deserve support no matter when grief shows up.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating—especially if you don't know what to expect. 💭
Here's the truth: therapy isn't about being "broken" or needing to be "fixed." It's about gaining tools, understanding yourself on a deeper level, and learning how to navigate life in a healthier way.
If you're thinking about starting therapy (or just started), here are a few things that might help:
It's okay to try a few therapists before finding "the one." Fit matters. If something feels off, it's okay to keep looking.
Progress isn't a straight line. Some weeks you'll feel like you're flying, others you'll wonder if anything is working. That's normal. Healing has ups and downs.
You might feel worse before you feel better. Therapy brings things to the surface—and that can be uncomfortable. But working through it is how you heal.
You're not broken. You're human. Therapy helps you understand your patterns, not judge them.
The real work happens outside of sessions. Your therapist gives you the map, but you have to walk the path.
If you've been thinking about taking that first step, this is your sign. Ike McIntyre Psychological Services is here to support you wherever you are—offering compassionate, professional care nationwide. 💚

If you're already feeling the weight of the holiday season, you're not alone.
The pressure to show up perfectly—at every gathering, with every gift, for every person—takes a serious toll on your nervous system. And when your body is screaming for rest but your calendar says otherwise? That's when the anxiety kicks in.
Here's your reminder: You don't have to do it all. You don't have to please everyone. And you definitely don't have to sacrifice your mental health for someone else's expectations.
This season, give yourself permission to:
✨ Say no without guilt
✨ Set boundaries with family
✨ Skip events that drain you
✨ Rest instead of perform
✨ Prioritize what actually fills your cup
Your nervous system will thank you. And honestly? The people who truly care about you will understand.
If the holidays are bringing up stress, burnout, or old wounds, Ike McIntyre Psychological Services is here to support you—nationwide. You deserve to enjoy this season, not just survive it. 💚
