After the holidays, there’s often a quiet emotional shift that no one really talks about. The noise fades, the expectations loosen, and suddenly there’s space—sometimes more than we know what to do with. You might feel tired, a little flat, or unsure how to step back into “normal.” If that’s you, please know: this is a very human response.
You don’t need to bounce back right away. Your nervous system has been carrying a lot, even if the holidays were mostly good. This is a time for gentle reentry—moving slowly, letting emotions settle, and giving yourself permission to rest without explanation. There’s no right way to feel once everything is over.
At Summit Community Counseling, we believe healing often happens in these in-between moments. Let this day be about integration, not evaluation. You’re allowed to take your time finding your footing again. Calm doesn’t rush—and neither should you.
