Sometimes the urge to snap isn’t “you being dramatic.” It’s your nervous system doing its very best to protect you, usually with a little too much enthusiasm.

If you’ve been living at a low simmer for weeks, your body might interpret small stressors like big threats, and fight mode shows up fast: irritability, defensiveness, wanting to argue, wanting to control, wanting to bolt. I’m here to tell you that’s not a character flaw; that’s a stressed system asking for support.

If you want help untangling this and learning tools that actually work in real life, I’m accepting new clients for Certified Trauma-Trained Therapy for adults, with virtual sessions across California. You can visit my website to book a free 15-minute consultation and see next steps.

There’s a specific kind of relief that happens when you finally say the thing out loud, to someone who isn’t flinching, fixing, or rushing you. Just… there. Present. With you.

It’s easy to feel like nothing you do matters, especially with an administration that seems to evade consequences for their actions. It’s been a rough year? 6 years? I don’t even know how to quantify it. Some days it feels necessary to lock up my own pain & fear in order to hold my clients’. Some days it feels too close to show up fully.

Some days I feel helpless, like it doesn’t matter how much we donate, march, boycott, speak out, things won’t change. Then I remember who we are as a country. I feel emboldened by our history as people who make change & think big. It happens later than it should in every case I can think of, but dammit, it happens.

However you’re showing up for change, thank you. However you’re grieving, grieve. Let’s keep building this resistance, moment by moment, person by person, however you can. Donate, march, boycott, have hard conversations, love your people, parent great kids, support your clients. Leave your perfectionism at the door & just try.
