For highly sensitive people and introverts, the holidays can stir up overstimulation, family dynamics, emotional regression, and old patterns. In this episode, I explore why the holidays are uniquely challenging for HSPs and introverts, and how we can meet this season with more self-acceptance, nervous system regulation, and resilience.
This episode offers practical, embodied ways to support your nervous system, maintain health-supportive routines, and release perfectionism so you can move through the season with greater steadiness and maturity.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why the holidays are especially activating for HSPs and introverts
- Jung’s idea of complexes and how family dynamics trigger them
- The role of context in emotional overwhelm
- Nervous system regulation as a foundation for resilience
- Rethinking the “black sheep” identity with compassion and realism
- Letting go of perfection and prioritizing health during the holidays
