Wishing you steadiness, connection, and a year that supports your healing, your relationships, and your joy, with a little more ease and a lot less pressure.

Here’s to relationships that feel more authentic and more nourishing, boundaries that are held without guilt, and the kind of joy that shows up in the simple moments.

I made a New Year Self-Care Bingo card, and I’d love for you to play along with me.

This isn’t about being productive, doing it perfectly, or turning self-care into another thing you “should” be doing. It’s a gentle way to notice what helps your nervous system settle, and to give yourself a few small moments of kindness as we move into a new year.

If you want to join, save the bingo card, pick a few squares that feel doable this week, and then come back here to share what you chose. If you get a bingo, tell me what your winning line was, because I want to celebrate the tiny, real-life wins with you.

If the approach of a new year fills you with pressure instead of hope, you’re not alone. For many people, resolutions don’t feel inspiring; they feel like a reminder of everything they didn’t manage to fix, change, or become in the last twelve months. That weight can make even the idea of “starting fresh” feel exhausting.

You don’t need a dramatic reinvention to move forward. You don’t need a perfect plan, a new version of yourself, or a list of promises you’re afraid you won’t keep. Sometimes starting over is much quieter than we expect. Sometimes it looks like offering yourself a little more gentleness, choosing rest when your body asks for it, or letting go of the belief that growth has to be visible to count.

This year, you’re allowed to move at the pace your nervous system can actually support. You’re allowed to begin again as many times as you need to, without turning it into a referendum on your worth. Starting over doesn’t have to happen on January 1st; it can happen any morning you wake up and choose yourself with a bit more care.

There is no deadline on becoming who you’re growing into.

New World Therapy is now accepting new clients, and I’d love to support you!

If you’re navigating polyamory or ethical non-monogamy, rebuilding trust after betrayal, exploring identity, healing trauma, or trying to create a relationship that actually fits who you are, therapy can assist you on your journey. If you’re carrying shame around desire, struggling with communication, or feeling stuck in the same painful cycles, we can slow things down together and build something more grounded, authentic, and sustainable.

I’m Heather Hembree, LMFT and AASECT Certified S*x Therapist, and my work is affirming, practical, and empowering. I support individuals, couples, and polycules, including people in power-exchange and kink relationships, with care that centers consent, dignity, and real-life tools.

If you’re curious about working together, reach out to me at (719) 582-6743 via text or phone to schedule your free consultation call today.

As the new year approaches, many polyamorous partners start talking about logistics—calendars, commitments, time, and who’s where when. Those conversations matter, but before getting lost in planning, it can be grounding to pause and ask a different kind of question, one that centers connection instead of coordination.

A simple place to start is this:

“What do you need more of from our relationship this year?”

Not as a demand and not as a promise to fix everything, but as an invitation. The answer might be more quality time, more reassurance, more structure, more play, more honesty, or more rest. In polyamory, needs don’t compete; they get named, negotiated, and held with care.

Let this question be a doorway into curiosity rather than defensiveness. When partners feel heard about what they’re longing for, planning becomes less about managing relationships and more about nurturing them.

You don’t need a perfect plan to start the year well. Sometimes, starting with the right question is enough.

Try a Nervous System Reset!

The week between holidays has its own strange rhythm. This is a perfect moment for a small nervous-system reset, something simple enough to do anywhere, yet grounding enough to help your body settle.

One practice I love is the 30-second hand-to-heart pause. It doesn’t require stillness, silence, or privacy. You simply place one hand over your chest and one hand on your belly. Take a slow breath in through your nose, feeling your hands rise gently, and then exhale through your mouth as if you’re fogging up a window. Repeat this three or four times, letting your shoulders drop a little more with each breath.

This practice works because it gives your body a clear signal that you are safe enough to soften, even just for a moment. It brings you back into yourself.

If this week feels a little disorienting, try this pause once or twice a day. Let it be a small kindness offered to your nervous system.

The Post-Holiday Crash

There’s a particular moment that tends to arrive after the holidays, often right after the last guest leaves or the house finally grows quiet, when your body releases a long, involuntary exhale you didn’t even realize you’d been holding. It is the sudden drop that follows weeks of movement, masking, coordinating, and trying to create something meaningful for the people around you. Many describe this feeling as an emotional hangover, and it deserves to be named for what it is: completely normal.

Our bodies keep track of more than stress; they keep track of effort. Even the joyful moments take energy. The laughter, the gatherings, the complicated family dynamics, the sensory overwhelm, the new traditions, the old memories, the constant stimulation of the season, each one adds a layer to what we are carrying. Once the noise fades, the nervous system finally has space to register everything at once, and that registration often feels like fatigue, emotional intensity, or a sudden desire to withdraw.

If today feels heavy or strangely hollow, it isn’t a sign that you’ve done anything wrong. It’s a sign that your body is recalibrating after weeks of being “on,” attentive, engaged, or simply trying to get through. You may notice tiredness that arrives out of nowhere, emotions rising without a clear cause, or an urge to sit still and ground yourself. Your body isn’t being sensitive or dramatic; it is returning to balance after a season that asked a great deal of you.

Let yourself land softly. Drink water. Rest without explanation. Move at the pace your body chooses rather than the one the world demands. Say no to anything that feels like too much. This is not a failure of resilience; it is the natural settling that happens when the holidays end and your system has room to breathe again.

You are allowed to take this time to ease back into yourself.

Wishing you a Christmas morning filled with lightness, laughter, and the kind of moments that make your heart lift a little higher. Whether you’re surrounded by family, celebrating with partners, sharing time with your chosen people, or enjoying a cozy day at home, may today bring a spark of joy that feels unmistakably yours.

Here’s to warm blankets, good food, inside jokes, unexpected sweetness, and the simple magic of slowing down long enough to actually feel the good moments as they arrive. I hope something about today reminds you that connection and delight are still very much possible, even in the midst of a busy world.

Merry Christmas and may your day be bright, kind, and genuinely enjoyable in all the ways that matter to you!

12/24/2025

Whether you’re gathering with family, celebrating with partners, creating new traditions, or enjoying a peaceful night at home, I hope this evening brings something warm to your body and your heart.

May you notice one small moment that feels grounding: a deep breath, a genuine laugh, a shared glance with someone you love, or the simple comfort of being exactly where you’re meant to be tonight. Holidays don’t have to be perfect to be meaningful; sometimes it’s the gentle, ordinary moments that stay with us the longest.

Here at New World Therapy, I'm wishing you a Christmas Eve filled with connection, softness, and a touch of magic in whatever form it arrives for you.

Grief That Sneaks Up:

Sometimes grief doesn’t arrive the way we expect it to. It doesn’t come crashing in or announce itself with tears. Instead, it slips quietly into the room, often during moments that are supposed to feel joyful. A familiar song plays in the background. A smell from the kitchen pulls a memory forward. Someone laughs in a way that reminds you of someone who isn’t there anymore, and suddenly your chest tightens before you can explain why.

This can be especially confusing when you thought you were “past it.” When years have gone by, life has grown fuller, and you’ve done real healing work. The holidays have a way of stirring memory and meaning all at once, and grief, even well-tended grief, sometimes wakes up in that space. Not because you’re broken or backsliding, but because love leaves an imprint that time doesn’t erase.

I often hear people say, “I don’t know why this is coming up now,” as if grief needs justification. The truth is that our hearts remember what mattered, and the season invites reflection, remembrance, and comparison between then and now. Grief isn’t a sign that healing didn’t happen; it’s a sign that something meaningful existed.

If grief sneaks up on you this season, try meeting it with curiosity instead of judgment. You don’t need to make it go away or turn it into something productive. Sometimes the most compassionate response is to pause, place a hand over your heart, and acknowledge what’s there without rushing yourself through it.

You are allowed to hold joy and grief at the same time. You are allowed to miss what you’ve lost and still be grateful for what you have. The presence of grief does not mean the absence of healing; it means love is still alive in your body.

This time of year can be busy and overwhelming for many of us. Leaning into your power-exchange dynamic can be a steadying place, a source of clarity, connection, and regulation when everything else feels chaotic.

Check out my new blog about leaning into your dynamic during the holidays.

I hope it offers a bit of grounding as we move through the season.

The Winter Solstice reminds me of something my body learned long before my mind caught up: the light always returns, even when we stop believing in it. There was a time, especially in the shadows of my own trauma, when I couldn’t imagine anything soft or bright finding its way back to me. Yet it did, slowly, quietly, like dawn testing the edges of a long night.

Today feels like an invitation to honor that slow reawakening. Not the dramatic kind, but the steady warmth that comes from choosing to write this next chapter for yourself again and again, even when the world around you insists on telling old stories. The Solstice teaches that darkness has its place, yet it never gets the final word.

If you’re in a season of rebuilding or remembering who you are beneath the survival patterns, may this turning of the year offer a simple truth: the light is already on its way back to you, and you are allowed to meet it at your own pace.
