During the holidays, protecting your peace is essential for your nervous system. ⚡️

Family gatherings can stir up emotional triggers, people-pleasing patterns, and pressure to show up in ways that cost you more than you can give. Your brain is constantly processing social cues, emotional tone, and unspoken expectations. If your body feels tense or fatigued after spending time with certain people, that is not your imagination. It is your nervous system responding to overstimulation and emotional labor.

Boundaries are not a rejection of others. They are an act of regulation and self-support. When you give yourself permission to step back, take space, or say no, you create room for rest and repair. Your brain functions better when it feels emotionally safe. Your clarity, resilience, and calm all begin with honoring your limits. 💥

You are allowed to choose peace without explaining or apologizing. Especially with people who expect you to absorb everything without flinching.

You matter too. 🧡

Separation anxiety is a typical phase for many infants and toddlers. Young children often have a period where they get anxious or distressed when they have to separate from their parent or main caregivers. Examples of this can be tears at daycare drop-off or getting fussy when a new person holds them. This usually starts to improve by about 2 to 3 years of age.

In some children, intense and ongoing separation anxiety is a sign of a more serious condition known as separation anxiety disorder. Separation anxiety disorder can be identified as early as preschool age.

Your child may have separation anxiety disorder if separation anxiety seems more intense than other kids of the same age or lasts a longer time, interferes with school or other daily activities, or includes panic attacks or other problem behaviors. Most often, separation anxiety relates to the child's anxiety about being away from parents or guardians, but it could relate to another close caregiver.

Less often, separation anxiety disorder can occur in teenagers and adults. This can cause major problems leaving home or going to work.

Treatment can lessen separation anxiety disorder symptoms. Treatment may include specific types of therapy, sometimes along with medicine. (Mayo Clinic ❤️)

Someone else’s choices aren’t your fault. But in order to make it through the process of repairing trust, you need to be able to confront well, be wise in seeing and spotting deception, move beyond bitterness, and grow beyond the past.
