Episode 75: Therapist Tools for a Calmer Holiday Nervous System
The holidays aren’t neutral — especially for neurodivergent nervous systems.
In this episode, Blaze shares simple, sensory-informed tools to help you feel more grounded and less overwhelmed this December.
Learn how to map your sensory day, carry a calming anchor, and create gentle exit plans — all in service of nervous system safety, not perfection.
This episode offers emotional permission to slow down, choose peace over pressure, and care for your system in ways that honor your truth.
Emotional takeaway: You’re not too sensitive — your body is telling the truth. Sensory safety is valid, necessary, and deeply worthy of respect.
