Did you know that 89% of U.S. adults experience stress during the holidays due to worries like financial strain, missing loved ones, and anticipating family conflicts?

Remember that it is completely valid to feel anger, sadness, joy, and gratitude all at once during the holidays 🫂

If you need extra support, several of our therapists have openings in the new year. Visit our website to schedule a consultation 💚

At Hold the Vision Therapy, we affirm that Black Lives Matter, Trans Lives Matter, Black Trans Lives Matter 🌻

We recognize s*x work is work, people are not illegal, abortion is healthcare, and health is not size dependent.

Our therapists think systemically and understand how imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal systems impact your life and relationships (and ours too) 💡

Simply put, therapy with us is a radical act of healing rooted in justice and ongoing anti-racism work.

Winter is officially here in the Midwest, which means shorter, darker days, and more time spent inside ❄️

It’s common to feel your mood dip during this time, and for some, that weather change brings on something called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

If the winter blues feel heavier than usual, working with a therapist can help you notice patterns and find ways to manage symptoms 🌨️

Whether you traveled or hosted, it’s totally normal to feel a little dysregulated after a holiday weekend 🍂

Most of us jumped straight into work without the time or space for a full emotional or physical reset.

As we head into more winter holidays, taking a moment to pause and re-center can make all the difference.

Thanksgiving often brings joy, comfort, and connection through food, but it can also bring up unwanted family comments, expectations, and long-held messages about eating and bodies 🍽️

📓Guided self-reflection, like journaling prompts, can help you unpack your relationship with food, and begin imagining a gentler, more compassionate way forward this Thanksgiving.

Family is where we often feel the deepest love, and sometimes the biggest challenges, but you don’t have to face them alone 🏡

It’s normal for every family to experience struggles, and seeking support is a sign of strength, not shame.

Family therapy offers a supportive space to reconnect, communicate better, and work toward shared values and goals together 🫂

Thanksgiving can bring plenty of unsolicited comments from both well-meaning and more antagonistic family members 🗣️

While it’s important to stay grounded in your values, sometimes the best choice is to not engage and gently steer the conversation somewhere neutral

Whether it’s a sibling celebrating their latest diet success or an uncle insisting on sharing political opinions, having a few ready-to-use phrases can help you keep your peace and move things along 💬

What are your favorite go-to phrases for redirecting the conversation?

Thanksgiving is coming up fast, and for many of us, that means spending time with potentially triggering extended family, but setting boundaries does not have to feel hard or awkward 💚

Planning ahead with redirecting phrases, knowing when to step away, or even bringing a fun group activity can help you protect your peace and enjoy the day more fully 🧩

Also, don’t forget to schedule some self-care afterward to recharge.
