Stay steady and in control this holiday season - no matter what your emotionally immature parent does
Download 7 therapist-approved tips to help you feel more prepared - versus pressured - and actually enjoy the holidays this year
Let’s be honest - the holidays can be a LOT when you have emotionally immature parents …
One look, one sigh, one bad joke at your expense - and suddenly you feel like you're 8 years old again, walking on eggshells and trying to keep the peace and not be a "burden."
I made the Holiday Survival Plan because I know how draining and frustrating it can feel to be around a parent who still triggers those old patterns - especially during the holidays, a time that should be about laughter and connection, not guilt trips and manipulation.
This guide gives you 7 actionable tips to help you:
✅Walk into the holiday season feeling more prepared - versus overwhelmed and anxious
✅Respond to their Conversation Traps instead of react on autopilot - and regret later
✅Stop the 3 a.m. replay spiral so you can actually sleep and feel more at peace
