The holidays can bring joy and connection, but they can also reactivate the roles we learned to play growing up—roles that helped us survive, but no longer reflect who we are today. If you notice yourself slipping into old patterns around family, that’s your nervous system responding to what used to feel unsafe. You’re allowed to show up differently now. Let emotional safety, not obligation, guide how you navigate this season. Honor your limits, protect your peace, and choose the relationships where you feel seen and supported.
