December Hits Different When Your Guard Comes Down

Описание: Why does December feel so heavy?
If December triggers emotional overwhelm, loneliness, self-doubt, or old emotional patterns, it may be because your adult self goes offline and old survival parts take over.

December is often described as a joyful, magical time.
But for many people, it feels heavy, lonely, and emotionally overwhelming.

If December brings up:
emotional exhaustion
comparison and self-doubt
feeling like you don’t belong
pressure to feel happy
old childhood or family patterns
There is nothing wrong with you.

In this video, we gently explore:
why December activates old emotional patterns
what happens when your adult self goes offline
how protector parts and survival strategies take over
what “choice space” is — and how it helps you regulate
a gentle 10-second practice to come back to yourself

This is not about fixing yourself or forcing joy during the holidays.
It’s about nervous system awareness, emotional safety, and small embodied choices that soften old patterns from the inside.
