Why Holiday Caregiving Feels Impossible 🎄
You tell yourself the same story every holiday season:
"This year I'll be more patient. This year I won't snap. This year will be different."
Then your parent asks you the same question for the fifth time in an hour. Or accuses you of something that never happened. Or gets upset over a happy memory you tried to share.
And you feel it. That tension in your jaw, your chest tightening, your patience gone.
Then comes the guilt. The shame. The feeling that you're failing them.
But here's what's really happening: their brain is reliving memories instead of remembering them. Your cortisol has been elevated for months (or years). Two dysregulated nervous systems are trying to create a peaceful moment together.
You're not failing. You're frying.
Episode 2 breaks down the neuroscience of why holiday caregiving is so hard and gives you actual tools to regulate your nervous system before you walk back into that room.
