A final note of thanks:
Thank you to all my clients — for your courage, your self-awareness, and for learning (often the hard way) that healing is real, boundaries work, and emotional chaos is not a personality.

This Christmas, may your nervous system stay regulated, your amygdala remain on holiday, your boundaries hold firm, and your phone stay free of messages that require a full psychological assessment to interpret.

And in the New Year, may your relationships feel calmer, clearer, and require far fewer post-interaction debriefs with friends, therapists, or the internet.

Wishing you a trauma-lighter, stress-lower Christmas and a genuinely healthier New Year — backed by neuroscience, psychology, and the radical decision to stop explaining yourself to people who already understand.
