from My Holistic Therapist · host Alex Field

Ever wondered why you can’t relax during the silly season, no matter how much you try? In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually happening inside your nervous system at the end of the year, and why December sends so many women into overwhelm, irritation, or complete shutdown.From collective stress in shopping centres to neuroception, co-dysregulation, and that wired-but-tired feeling, I’ll explain the real physiology behind your exhaustion. And more importantly, I’ll give you practical tools to help you regulate, reset, and protect your energy before the chaos ramps up.I’ve also created a free resource to support you through this season, and it will help you identify your nervous-system state and build your own regulation plan.If you’re feeling stretched thin or running on fumes already, this episode will help you understand yourself with compassion, and find a steadier way through the season.
