If Christmas feels more like pressure than peace, you’re not alone.

Anxiety doesn’t take the holidays off.
But you don’t have to hide, shrink, or power through to be worthy of love.

✨ This is your reminder that you’re not too much. You’re not broken. And you’re doing better than you think.

Sending love to every nervous system doing the absolute most right now.

This time of year can bring pressure to smile, show up, and sparkle even when you're running on empty.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I want you to know:
🩷 You don’t owe anyone a festive mood.
🩷 You don’t have to perform joy to be included.
🩷 And you’re not failing if this season feels heavy.

You’re allowed to show up exactly as you are: tender, tired, grieving, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between.

✨ Real peace comes from honoring your truth, not forcing a feeling.

You don’t have to abandon yourself just because it’s the holidays.

This season can be beautiful and overwhelming.

You’re allowed to rest, opt out, take space, and protect your peace even when it goes against tradition.

✨ Go at your own pace. You’re doing better than you think.

12/16/2025

If the holidays feel heavy instead of happy, you’re not broken - you’re human.

There are valid reasons joy feels far away right now.

You don’t have to fake cheerfulness to be worthy of care.

✨ Go gently. Your nervous system is doing its best.

If you’re buying for someone who lives with anxiety, your aim isn’t to “fix” them. It’s to support their system.

These gifts aren’t about perfection. They’re about presence.

They say: “It’s okay to feel this. I see you. I’ve got your back.”

When the world feels too much, these objects can help someone’s body remember safety even before the mind does.

Anxiety, but make it ✨festive✨

Anxiety doesn’t take time off for the holiday, it just puts on a string of fairy lights and gets louder.

Here are a few small-but-mighty tools that actually help:

✅ Step outside for 3 minutes of cold air and deep breaths.
✅ Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear... (you know the drill)
✅ Put your phone down and your feet on the floor.
✅ Text your safe person and say: “Remind me I’m okay.”

You’re not the only one feeling this way, promise.

Follow for anxiety support that makes sense even when nothing else does.

12/04/2025

Anxiety isn’t a weakness, it’s a warning system.

Your body’s not broken. It just learned to protect you, even when it doesn’t need to.

Ready to understand your anxiety (without the shame)?

Follow for trauma-informed anxiety tools + support.

The healing journey isn’t always made of grand milestones or big breakthroughs.

Often, it’s found in the tiny, everyday moments: where you choose something different than what survival once taught you.

It may look small to others.
But to your nervous system?
It’s everything.

Keep going. Your healing is happening, even when it’s quiet.

If gratitude feels hard right now, I want to say this as clearly as I can:

🩷 You are not doing it wrong.
🩷 You are not ungrateful.
🩷 You are not too much.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I work with so many people who feel confused this time of year like they should feel thankful, happy, connected… but instead they feel exhausted, disconnected, or full of mixed emotions.

That’s okay.

Gratitude doesn’t require perfection. It doesn’t erase your pain.
And it doesn’t mean pretending everything is fine.

Let this season be one where you practice gentle honesty with yourself.
You can hold joy and hurt. You can be healing, even when it’s messy.

You’re allowed to be here as you are 🩷

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

🩷 You don’t have to perform your way into belonging.
🩷 You don’t have to do it all.
🩷 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.
