A little corazón, a little ciencia, and a whole lot of compassion for YOU.
Hola Comadre/Padre:
If you’re a healer, therapist, wellness leader, or the go-to “strong friend,” the holidays can hit different. Mientras everyone else is decking the halls, you might be juggling client crises, your own grief, cultural obligations, family dynamics, and that pressure to “keep it all together.”
Let’s keep it real — even healers need healing.
And yes, you también deserve softness, descanso, and joy.
🌙 Why Holiday Blues Hit Healers Hard
We hold space for everyone else’s sadness, transitions, losses, and “first holidays without…” stories.
Pero guess what? That emotional labor adds up.
Common reasons we feel the holiday heaviness:
- Compassion fatigue pretending it's “just stress.”
- Personal grief that still needs tending.
- Overextending to meet work + familia expectations.
- Colder months = lower sun = mood shifts (hello, biology).
- Menopause- yes I said it!
- The pressure to be the perfectly regulated therapist. (Spoiler: no one is.)
💛 5 Ways to Navigate Holiday Blues (Therapist Edition)
1. Give Yourself Permission to Pause
Sí, pausa. Step away from the savior complex for a moment.
Your nervous system deserves un break too.
2. Schedule Micro-Joy Moments
Not the big, Instagram-perfect stuff.
I mean: warm café con canela, 5-minute dance breaks, lighting a candle that smells like abuela’s house.
3. Set Boundaries with Love
“Lo siento, I’m not available right now” is a full sentence.
Your time off is sacred — guard it.
4. Let Yourself Feel Your Own Stuff
You’re not a robot.
You’re a human with history, cultura, and a heart that carries so much.
Grief and joy can coexist, especialmente en esta temporada.
5. Receive Support (Yes, YOU)
Healers heal better when they’re supported.
Whether through community, supervision, therapy, or a healing circle — you deserve a village too.
