The holiday season is here, bringing with it the familiar sights and sounds we all know so well—twinkling lights, festive music, and the aroma of favorite foods filling the air. But for many, this season also brings heightened emotions, especially when it comes to family gatherings. If you’re already bracing yourself for the unique dynamics of holiday get-togethers, you’re not alone.
In recent years, navigating family interactions has become more complex than ever. With the whirlwind of changes in the world, differing views, and even personal growth, it’s common to feel like the stakes are higher. We’re all more aware of our triggers, but that doesn’t always make it easier to manage them—especially in the face of old family patterns or challenging conversations.
That’s why this year, it’s more important than ever to have a strong set of tools to keep yourself grounded, present, and resilient. And that’s exactly what our Surviving the Season: Holiday Regulation Workshop is designed to offer.
This 2-hour virtual workshop will give you practical, evidence-based tools to navigate family stress with confidence. Whether it’s Aunt Linda’s well-meaning but intrusive questions or the resurfacing of old family dynamics, we’ll equip you with techniques that can help you stay centered and respond thoughtfully—even in the heat of the moment.
Why This Workshop is Different
The Holiday Regulation Workshop isn’t just about “keeping calm.” It’s about developing a deeper understanding of your body’s natural responses and learning how to use them to your advantage. Grounded in the latest research on nervous system regulation, this workshop draws from highly effective approaches like EMDR and Polyvagal Theory, specifically adapted for real-world holiday stressors.
We’re not talking abstract theory or generic advice here. This is a hands-on experience where you’ll practice techniques designed to work in real time, even during the most challenging family moments.
What You’ll Gain
Here’s what participants can expect to walk away with:
• Grounding Techniques – Learn how to quickly bring yourself back to the present moment when emotions start running high.
• Managing Family Triggers – Identify your triggers, then practice proven techniques to help you choose a calm, thoughtful response.
• Breathing and Movement for Calm – Discover subtle yet powerful breathing exercises and movement techniques to regulate your nervous system.
• Self-Compassion Practices – We’ll equip you with strategies to treat yourself with kindness and resilience, especially after challenging interactions.
And here’s something special: as part of the workshop, you’ll have the rare opportunity to experience the Flash Technique in a group setting. This gentle, innovative tool is designed to reduce the emotional intensity of a difficult memory, right in the moment. Imagine walking into this holiday season with a little less weight on your shoulders and a lot more inner calm.
