When the celebrations fade, the silence after can feel like a wave.
You might feel empty, restless, or oddly sad even if the holidays “went well.”

That’s not weakness. It’s recalibration.
After weeks of high energy and emotional output, your body and heart finally exhale and sometimes what rushes in is everything you didn’t have time to feel.

Let this season be softer.
Let recovery count as progress.

✨ Book your intake call (link in bio) if you’re ready to move from post-holiday crash to grounded calm.

The holidays can be a lot, people, plans, emotions, noise, expectations. Even the fun stuff takes energy.
Your body feels every bit of it.

So offer yourself tiny moments to reset:
• Notice the very first moment your body says ‘no’… and give it two minutes.
• Find one object in the room that makes you feel 2% calmer.
• Let yourself leave the group chat energy and return to your own.
• Let the bathroom break be a nervous-system break.
• Excuse yourself long enough to feel your feet again.

Your body is part of the celebration. Treat it kindly, like it's invited too.

✨ Therapy can help you understand your nervous system, not fight it.

We’re often quick to thank others but rarely do we pause to thank the parts of ourselves that carried us through.

This is your invitation to try a little self-gratitude.
It doesn’t need to sound wise or poetic. It just needs to be true.

You might start with something like:
🖊️ “Thank you, anxiety, for trying to keep me safe.”
🖊️ “Thank you, determination, for getting me out of bed on the hard days.”
🖊️ “Thank you, numbness, for stepping in when things felt too overwhelming.”
🖊️ “Thank you, hope, for whispering even when I couldn’t hear you clearly.”

Gratitude doesn’t have to be pretty, just honest.
Let yourself notice the parts that worked quietly behind the scenes so you could make it to today.

✨ Therapy is where we practice meeting every part of you with warmth, curiosity, and compassion.

You’re not “too much.” You’re attuned.
You learned to notice the small shifts. The sighs, the silences, the energy change in a room because, once upon a time, it mattered.

Sensitivity was your way of staying safe and connected.
Now, it might just need a little refining, ess hypervigilance, more discernment.

Therapy can help you learn when your intuition is speaking and when your past is echoing.

Because your empathy isn’t the problem. It’s your gift, waiting to breathe again.

Holiday rule #47: the sibling who knows all your secrets becomes both your greatest threat and your closest ally by noon on Christmas Day. 😅🎄

Families are tender, funny, complicated ecosystems, Full of old roles, unspoken agreements, and the occasional “please don’t tell Mom” truce.

If you and your siblings have ever had a standoff across the living room, drop a 🎁 or share this with the one who always has the good dirt.

The holidays can bring up a lot. Old patterns, unspoken expectations, that familiar pull to keep the peace even if it costs you your own.

You can love your family and still say no.
You can want connection and need space.
Boundaries aren’t rejection. They’re a way of staying in relationship without losing yourself.

If being home for the holidays stirs up old wounds or new guilt, that’s not a failure. It’s your nervous system remembering what’s hard. Therapy can help you move through it with compassion, clarity, and a little more self-trust each time.

Let’s get curious about what boundaries could look like for you this season.

This time of year, it’s easy to measure ourselves by what we accomplished.
But what if gratitude wasn’t about achievements?
What if it was about endurance, about the quiet ways you kept going, even when it was hard?

Pause. Breathe. Notice what part of you deserves a soft exhale right now.

✨ Therapy is where we practice noticing without judgment, so that gentleness can begin to feel safe again.

If you’ve ever called yourself lazy when you freeze, pause right there.
That stuck feeling isn’t a flaw; it’s your body’s way of saying, “I’m overwhelmed.”

The freeze response is protection, not procrastination.
With gentle awareness and trauma-informed support, that frozen energy can start to melt into movement, choice, and self-trust.

You don’t have to fight your nervous system to heal. Learn to listen to it instead.

👉 Book your intake call (link in bio) to start exploring what safety feels like again.

Sometimes “no” feels like the hardest word to say.
Not because you don’t mean it but because a part of you worries someone will pull away if you do.

Here’s the truth: setting boundaries isn’t about pushing people out.
It’s about staying connected without abandoning yourself.

If your stomach twists when you try to say no, that’s not weakness, it’s your nervous system saying, “Wait… is it safe to take up space?”

Let’s get curious about that together.
Because learning to say no is really learning to trust yourself.

Last month, Brandi Green and Samantha Perry recently facilitated a workshop for parents at Oak Park River Forest High School’s Parent University Night. The interactive workshop - Boundaries vs Control: Supporting Your Teen’s Growth While Staying Connected, helped parents explore the difference between healthy boundaries and control, offering tools for setting limits that foster trust and respect while giving space for teens to develop autonomy.

Thank you to OPRF for having us!
