Is the holiday season supposed to replenish you, or does it secretly deplete you?

As a trauma therapist, you navigate complex emotions all year long, but December brings its own intensity. Clients get triggered, your calendar fills up, and the world expects you to exude calm when you might feel anything but.

What if you could model real self-regulation (not just “breathe!”) and be present, with yourself and your clients, no matter what the season brings?

Join us for a practical, compassionate, and honest Clinical Conversation with anti-racist trauma therapist and mindfulness educator Kyle Poon. You’ll leave with micro-practices you can use in your next session and at your next family gathering.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How to use micro-practices (beyond “deep breathing”) that actually regulate your nervous system (and your client’s)
• Permission to rest: Creating boundaries and honoring your limits amid holiday demands
• Turning threat cues (from family dynamics, memories, or the senses) into glimmers of safety and hope
• Navigating your own stress, sadness, or disconnection with the same compassion you show clients
• The clinical AND personal toolkit you need to avoid burnout and deepen connection
