As the holiday season unfolds, I wanted to take a moment to extend warm wishes to you and your loved ones. May this holiday season be filled with moments of joy, reflection, and cherished memories.
In the midst of our celebrations, let's also take a moment to remember and offer our thoughts and prayers to those who may be experiencing loss or loneliness during this time. The holidays can be a bittersweet reminder for some, and it's essential that we come together as a community to support and uplift one another.
In the spirit of the season, let's share kindness and reach out to those who may need a comforting word or a friendly gesture. By spreading love and understanding, we can make a difference in the lives of those who may be facing challenges.
Wishing you and your loved ones a holiday filled with warmth, compassion, and the company of dear friends and family.
Take care and embrace the spirit of togetherness during this special time of the year.

Lena was raised by an anxious mom who made her responsible for managing her emotions.

Anytime something stressful happened (even minor things like her having to return something to the store) she would lash out at Lena. “Lena, your room needs to be spotless now!” Or “you’re so ungrateful for all I do for you!” as she played.

She learned to walk on eggshells.

Lena’s mother wasn’t aware of it but she was conditioning her to “fix” her feelings. By 12 Lena was hypervigilant, over-aware of her moms moods and energy to stay safe.

Lance, her boyfriend, is laid back like her father. Sometimes he gets quiet or feels low after work. Lena can’t tolerate it. She’s learned other people’s negative emotions as a threat to her own well-being. “Are you ok?” Lance would say yes, but Lena used to managing her mother’s emotions, would keep pushing. “Are you SURE everything is ok?”

Lance feels frustrated and smothered. “I told you I am ok. Stop asking” Lena goes right into fight or flight. His tone feels critical and she responds with “what is your problem?!”

Lena never leaned emotional boundaries. She didn’t get the opportunity to witness a stable adult who could just be in their own mood then eventually self regulate. She projects her mother into Lance and mistakenly believes his mood is something to change or fix.

Lance doesn’t know Lena has had to be the emotional manager of her home since she was a child. Being asked if he’s ok brings up shame or a feeling that something is wrong with him. He just wants to be left alone to self regulate and have the mood pass.

He wants it to be ok for him to not be happy and engaged without feeling like it’s something to fix
