Christ is born! All of us at Alpha Omega would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas. ⁣

May God grant you peace during this joyous season. Whether you are with friends and family or all alone, please know that even the darkest of times cannot extinguish the light of Christ. Wherever you are and whatever you may be going through, take a moment to close your eyes, take a deep breath and connect with a small part of you holding on to His peace, love, and joy. Lay down what burdens you, if only for a short time, and celebrate what has helped you get this far. May He enter the manger in our hearts and enlighten the parts of us that need His healing the most. ⁣

The holidays arrive wrapped in expectation: joy, togetherness, gratitude, a festive spirit. Yet for many, this season stirs grief, loneliness, anxiety, or old wounds that can echo even louder in response to the many messages that insist we should be happy at this time of year.

This actually makes perfect sense; the holidays intensify unmet attachment needs and memory networks. Pain is often triggered when we are reminded of what we don’t have or what we could have. We long for safety, belonging, and connection but when those needs were unmet in the past, or are perhaps unmet now, the nervous system responds with sadness, irritability, or withdrawal rather than cheer.

Our Catholic faith does not deny this reality. Advent does not begin in celebration, but in waiting. In darkness. In longing. Scripture tells us that Christ entered the world not in triumph, but in vulnerability—born into poverty, uncertainty, and displacement. God meets us not after our pain is resolved, but within it.

The Psalms remind us that lament is a form of prayer. To bring our sorrow before God is not a failure of faith, but an act of trust. Emotionally, naming our grief and pain allows the body and soul to integrate what has been lost or feels absent. Spiritually, it makes room for grace.

If this season feels heavy, you are not broken and you are not alone. Joy in the Christian sense is not forced happiness; it is the quiet hope that God draws near even when our hearts are tired. Sometimes the most faithful response is not to “be jolly,” but to be honest.

This Advent, may you allow yourself to wait as you are. God is not disappointed in your sadness. Emmanuel—God with us—comes precisely for those who are weary.

Today we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a reminder that God enters our stories through tenderness, reassurance, and accompaniment.

In psychotherapy, we see something similar: healing begins when we feel seen, heard, and understood in the parts of us that feel small, overlooked, or afraid.

Mary’s appearance to Juan Diego shows us a God who moves toward our wounds rather than away from them. Her words, “Am I not here, I who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection?” echo one of the core truths of emotional healing: safety, security, and connection foster change.

On this feast, we invite you to reflect:

🌿 Where in your life do you long to be met with gentleness?

🌿 What part of you needs the reassurance Mary offered—“Do not be troubled or weighed down”?

🌿 How might therapy become a space where you experience that same compassionate presence?

May Our Lady of Guadalupe protect you, guide your healing, and remind you that you are never alone in your journey toward wholeness.

“I am your merciful Mother, the merciful Mother of all of you who live untied to this land, and of all mankind, of all those who love me, of those who cry to me, of those who seek me, of those who have confidence in me. Here I will hear their weeping, their sorrow, and will remedy and alleviate all their multiple sufferings, necessities, and misfortunes” - Our Lady’s words to St. Juan Diego

The holiday season is upon us once again!

That can mean different things to different people. For some, it’s a lovely time of celebration with close friends and family. For others, it’s a time of sadness, loneliness, or a painful reminder of unhealed family wounds. Regardless of what this season brings up for you, it’s important to consider how it will impact you.

The brain doesn’t distinguish between positive and negative stress so even great experiences can leave us feeling exhausted (ever feel like you need a vacation after a vacation!?). These tips can help you get ahead of the holiday stress. We hope they’re a helpful tool to help you maintain your mental and emotional well-being! ⁣
