Before you walk into the gathering, pause. Take a breath. Check in with yourself. Regulating your nervous system before holiday events can help you feel more present, less reactive, and more grounded. This might look like deep breathing, a short walk, setting boundaries, or reminding yourself that it’s okay to step away when needed. You’re allowed to care for your mental health—even during the holidays.

“What is one thing you can let go of to feel a little lighter?” ❤️ Letting go can look like releasing unrealistic expectations, guilt, people-pleasing, or the pressure to always be productive. These patterns often weigh on our mental health, increasing stress and emotional exhaustion. When we loosen our grip on what no longer serves us, we create space for rest, clarity, and emotional balance. Reflection can be a powerful first step toward change. What’s one thing you’re ready to release today? 🌟

The Christmas season can bring joy, connection, and celebration—but it can also bring stress, grief, loneliness, or overwhelm. Caring for your mental health during this time might look like setting boundaries, resting when you need to, honoring your feelings, and staying connected with others. Presence matters more than perfection. 🎄🎄🎄How are you taking care of your mental health this Christmas?

“How do I know if therapy is working for me?” As therapists, we get this question from time to time because it’s not always easy to see the signs that therapy is working. Today, Laura is sharing a couple of signs that she has recognized with Clients that let them know therapy is working. “Saying ‘no’ becomes less stressful. You find you’re able to say no without feeling guilty and prioritize your peace, giving your best ‘yes’ when you’re able.” Over the next couple of weeks, some of our other licensed clinicians will be sharing signs that therapy is working!
