The holidays can be tender, activating, or exhausting—especially if you carry trauma, grief, or complicated family dynamics. If this season feels hard, your response makes sense. Your nervous system is responding to a lot.
Trauma-informed self-care isn’t about doing more. It’s about creating moments of safety, choice, and permission. That might look like leaving early, skipping a gathering, setting a boundary, or letting go of the pressure to feel cheerful.
You’re allowed to feel mixed emotions. You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to do the holidays in a way that supports *you*.
If this season is bringing up more than you expected and you’d like a supportive space to process it, we’re here—gently, at your pace. However the holidays unfold, may you meet yourself with compassion and care.
