Christmas family tension can improve all your relationships
free guided meditation
Family time often brings up reactions you don’t choose.
Shutting down, overreacting, freezing, or people-pleasing.
This isn’t a lack of maturity. It’s your nervous system responding to old emotional patterns.
Trying not to react doesn’t work, because reactivity is a symptom — not the cause.
When the feelings beneath the reaction are met with self compassion and care, the nervous system settles. Choice returns.
You can respond from your adult, centred self, not old childhood survival patterns.
Use this 5min short meditation whenever you feel tense or triggered. Even if the moment has passed.
It will help you:
Calm and regulate your nervous system
Comfort the feelings driving reactivity
Respond from your adult self, not childhood patterns
