If your brain goes into overdrive during the holidays: overthinking every text, every plan, every conversation, I see you.

đŸ©· You don’t have to perform your way into belonging.
đŸ©· You don’t have to do it all.
đŸ©· You don’t have to feel festive to be worthy of care.

Let these affirmations be gentle interruptions to the pressure.
You’re allowed to show up as you are - anxious thoughts and all.

There’s a lot of pressure this time of year to make the most of fall.

The pumpkin patches, the cozy dates, the matching outfits, the aesthetic bucket lists


But as a trauma-informed therapist, I want to gently remind you:
🍂 You don’t have to turn a season into a checklist.
🍂 You don’t have to do all the Tik Tok trends.
🍂 You don’t have to do all the things just because the internet says it’s ~healing girl autumn~.

Sometimes rest is your fall ritual.
Sometimes staying in is your self-care.
Sometimes survival mode means just getting through the day and that’s enough.

You’re allowed to enjoy this season in your own way.
Or not enjoy it at all.
There is no one right way to be present, grounded, or “doing it right.”

🍁 Let it be simple. Let it be yours. Let it be enough.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I see this all the time clients feeling confused or frustrated with themselves for struggling more during the holidays.

If you’re feeling anxious, irritable, disconnected, or emotionally tender right now
 I want you to know:

đŸ©” It makes sense.
đŸ©” You’re not broken.
đŸ©”You’re remembering.

The holidays can stir up deep emotional residue: old family dynamics, unmet needs, grief, pressure to be “on,” or just the sudden change in pace and expectations.

This season, I invite you to move with compassion, not criticism.
✹ Choose peace over performance.
✹ Create space where you can breathe.
✹ Let your needs be valid, even if they look different from others.

You’re allowed to protect your energy, take up space, and feel however you feel.

Anxiety makes everything feel urgent.

Like you have to fix everything right now or something bad will happen.

This self-check-in is here to gently interrupt that spiral and bring you back to what you can support: your body, your needs, your here-and-now.

You don’t have to solve it all.
Just start with one small act of care.
That’s enough.
And so are you. đŸ©·

Let the leaves fall. Let the pressure drop with them 🍂

This season isn’t just about cozy vibes, it’s about release.

Let go of what’s heavy. Let go of what no longer fits.

And remind yourself: you’re allowed to change too.

Anxiety can hijack your day before you even realize it’s happening.

The S.T.O.P. skill is a simple, powerful tool to bring you back to yourself in moments of overwhelm.

It helps you slow down, check in, and respond with intention instead of spiraling into panic or people-pleasing.

It’s not about avoiding hard feelings.

It’s about making space between the trigger and the reaction—so you can choose something different.

Next time your heart races, your brain floods, or you're about to snap, try this:

🚩 Stop.
🚩 Take a breath.
🚩 Observe.
🚩 Proceed with intention.

You’re allowed to pause. That pause is where your power lives.

Not every ghost deserves your attention đŸ‘»

This season, practice a different kind of haunting:
see the thought, name it, and let it drift right past you.

You don’t have to fight every negative whisper, just stop inviting it to stay.

Your brain’s job is to keep you alive, not always to tell you the truth.

When anxiety kicks in, it can sound convincing: “Something’s wrong. You’re in danger. Everyone’s judging you.”

But thoughts are not facts.

Next time a worry shows up, pause and ask:
đŸ©” Is this a real threat or just a loud thought?
đŸ©” What evidence do I actually have?
đŸ©” If my best friend said this, would I believe them?

You can notice the thought without obeying it.

Anxiety wears many disguises - high achievement, constant busyness, even the life of the party.

If you recognize yourself in these quieter signs, you’re not “too dramatic” or “just stressed.”

Noticing the hidden ways anxiety shows up is the first step toward care and support.

Your feelings are valid, even when they don’t fit the stereotype đŸ€—

Anxiety is loud, but it rarely stops to check the facts.

These gentle questions invite curiosity instead of panic, helping you separate what’s real from the story anxiety spins.

Next time your mind races, try asking one or two - out loud or in a journal.

You might notice the thought softening just by giving it a little space and a lot of compassion.
