Sobre este título
Christmas can bring up stress in ways that feel confusing and unexpected.
Even when life feels stable, family time can activate old patterns, roles, and emotional responses that belong to much earlier chapters of our lives.
In this Christmas episode, somatic psychotherapist Shelley Treacher explores why family stress often intensifies at Christmas, how the nervous system remembers familiar environments, and why slowing down can feel surprisingly difficult at this time of year.
The episode includes a short public-domain fable, The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, as a gentle reflection on safety, stimulation, and why calm matters.
Shelley also shares personal reflections on learning to slow down, noticing urgency in the body, and how regulation often begins in very small steps.
This episode is for anyone who feels more reactive, tired, or unsettled around family at Christmas, and wants a compassionate, body-based understanding of what’s happening beneath the surface.
