How to Stay Regulated Around Family During the Holidays

A live, somatic-based Zoom class for anyone who feels overwhelmed during holiday gatherings.

The holidays are supposed to feel warm, connected, and joyful—but for so many of us, this season brings a flood of old patterns, family triggers, emotional landmines, and nervous system overwhelm.

Maybe you shut down.

Maybe you get pulled into old roles.

Maybe you lose your voice, your center, or the sense of who you’ve become.

This class is a place to reclaim yourself.

In this 90-minute somatic workshop, you’ll learn how to stay grounded, embodied, and regulated even in the presence of stress, conflict, or family dynamics that activate old wounds. You’ll receive simple, powerful nervous system tools that help you stay connected to your truth—not the version of you that your family expects.

Through guided embodiment practices, breathwork, and gentle awareness exercises, you’ll discover how to:

What You’ll Learn

• Interrupt fight/flight/fawn responses before they take over
• Stay connected to your body when others are dysregulated
• Create internal safety regardless of the external environment
• Set boundaries without collapsing or shutting down
• Recover quickly after difficult conversations or emotional activation
• Maintain your center—even if others lose theirs

This isn’t about avoiding family or pretending everything is fine.

It’s about staying rooted in yourself so you can move through the holidays with clarity, choice, and steadiness in your nervous system.

This Class Is For You If:

• You feel anxious around family or holiday gatherings
• You tend to over-function, people-please, or lose your voice
• You leave family events feeling drained or dysregulated
• You’ve been doing inner work and want tools to stay grounded in real-life situations
• You want this season to feel different—calmer, kinder, more spacious

What You’ll Walk Away With

• A personal regulation toolkit you can use before, during, and after gatherings
• Practices to help you “return to yourself” in real time
• A new relationship with your body’s cues and boundaries
• More emotional freedom during a typically stressful season

You deserve to walk into the holidays with a nervous system that feels supported, steady, and on your side.
