Surviving the Festive Season with Trauma

The Emotional Challenge

The festive season can activate trauma responses — emotional flashbacks, nervous‑system overload, hypervigilance, shutdown, or a sense of being “too much” or “not enough.” Crowds, noise, expectations, family dynamics, or even memories of past holidays can trigger old patterns that feel overwhelming or disorienting. This time of year can make it harder to stay grounded, regulated, and connected to the present moment.

Let’s get you through this first.

Then, when you’re safe, we can go deeper.
