When the Holidays Feel Heavy: Parenting Emotional Dysregulation Without Losing Your Peace

Season 2 Episode 59

The holidays can feel especially heavy when you’re parenting a child with emotional dysregulation. Love runs deep, but so does exhaustion, anticipation, and the pressure to hold everything together.

In this episode, we gently discuss the emotions many parents carry quietly and create space to release what steals peace during the holiday season. This is not about fixing your child or forcing joy. It’s about understanding, compassion, and protecting your family’s well-being.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • Why the holidays amplify emotional dysregulation for both kids and parents
  • The hidden emotional toll of constantly anticipating meltdowns and conflict
  • Why loving your child and feeling worn down can both be true
  • How to move through the season with more peace and less pressure

If the holidays feel harder than you expected, this episode offers understanding, encouragement, and a reminder that you’re not alone.
