Self Care Through the Holidays: A Therapist-Lead Approach to Rest, Boundaries, and Emotional Regulation

In this Episode
The holiday season often brings a mix of joy, pressure, and emotional intensity. In this special episode, we’re sharing a powerful replay of our therapist-led webinar, “Self Care Through the Holidays,” facilitated by Kiru Balachand and Shirley Zhou of Fruits from the Roots.
Together, Kiru and Shirley explore how to move through the season with more intention and less overwhelm. Whether you’re navigating family dynamics, social expectations, or the quiet heaviness that can show up during this time of year, this episode offers a supportive space to:
Slow down and check in with yourself
Learn practical emotional regulation strategies
Set compassionate boundaries
Protect your energy and find rest
This conversation is designed to feel like a soft landing—a space to reflect, reset, and reconnect with what you truly need.
