Holiday Irritability
“More irritable this Christmas? You’re carrying too much alone.”
You’re not becoming a harsher version of yourself. You’re overwhelmed.
When you’ve got holiday planning…
family expectations…
financial pressure…
and a never-ending to-do list…
Your patience burns out before the day even starts.
So yes — you get short.
Your tone gets sharp.
You react faster than you want to.
And then the guilt hits.
This isn’t who you are —
It’s what happens when you try to hold everything in and push through it alone
Why What You’ve Tried Isn’t Working
You’ve tried:
Taking deep breaths
Holding it in
“Staying calm”
Being extra nice
Pushing through and hoping it gets easier
But the irritability keeps leaking out, because the pressure never actually leaves your system.
You don’t need to try harder.
You need a way to release the pressure before it spills out as irritation.
You don’t have to go through the holidays on edge.
You don’t have to apologize for your tone. You don’t have to hold everything in.
You deserve support —
Not more pressure.
You can get through the holidays without snapping at the people you love.
In our weekly 1:1 therapy sessions, you’ll learn how to:
Stay grounded even when everything feels overwhelming
Slow down your reactions so you don’t snap automatically
Keep your tone warm, even when you’re stressed
Reduce tension, guilt, and emotional exhaustion
Actually enjoy Christmas — not survive it
This isn’t generic “self-care.”
It’s targeted support for people whose irritability is a sign of overload, not character.
Holiday pressure is peaking. Waiting until January means suffering through all of it.
Family gatherings.
Gift spending.
Time pressure.
The mental load.
It all intensifies right now — not later.
Starting now means:
Fewer blowups
More patience
Less guilt
A calmer holiday season
Feeling in control again
January is too late.
You deserve support before things spiral.
Weekly 1:1 Therapy Sessions Include:
Personalized tools to reduce irritability
Strategies to handle overwhelm in real time
A safe space to release emotional tension
Holiday-specific support for stress triggers
Practical steps that fit your life — not generic advice
