If going home for the holidays leaves you anxious, exhausted, or feeling like you’re twelve years old again, this is not emotional weakness. This is your nervous system.

When you’re around your family of origin, the oldest wiring in your brain comes back online. These patterns were built before you had adult self-regulation. Your limbic system reacts fast, old roles resurface, and your regulated adult self can get pushed offline without you realizing it.

What you’re experiencing is neurological conditioning, not failure. And this season is an opportunity to do something different. You can interrupt the hijack, respond instead of react, and stay grounded even when everyone around you is not.
