In this short, grounding episode of the You’re Not Crazy Podcast, we’re talking about how cycle breakers can take care of themselves during the holidays when family dynamics are toxic, overwhelming, or emotionally unsafe.

This is not about pushing through. It’s not about pretending everything is fine. And it’s not about forcing yourself into situations that cost you your nervous system.

You’ll hear practical, compassionate ways to support yourself right now if you’re spiraling, avoiding family, or counting down the days until the holidays are over, including:

How to help your body feel safe when holiday stress activates old trauma responses
Why creating traditions that have nothing to do with your family matters more than you think
Simple self check-ins to protect your energy and emotional capacity
Permission to change your mind about plans as you learn what you can actually handle
How to notice real progress, even if it feels small or imperfect

You deserve tools that help you get through this season without abandoning yourself.
