December has its own kind of energy. It brings lights, rituals, warmth, and anticipation.
And at the very same time, it brings a wave of expectations, inner pressure, and emotional fatigue.
Many people say they feel overwhelmed more quickly during this month, less grounded, and that closeness or body awareness feels different than usual.
Some withdraw, others feel a restlessness they can’t quite name.
Maybe you’ve felt that too.
That’s exactly why we’re offering a small year-end gift until December 31:
👉 20% off your first session
👉 + 10% off applies to all our package solutions.
Why December impacts us so deeply
The last month of the year bundles together everything we usually manage to spread out.
Common stressors include:
full calendars with barely any real breaks
year-end pressure at work
family obligations and expectations
mental to-dos constantly running in the background
the pressure to “have a wonderful time”
the wish to meet everyone’s needs
When all of this comes together, our nervous system responds with tension.
And tension changes how we experience ourselves.
When tension turns down the volume of the body
Stress doesn’t just affect the mind — it changes how we feel ourselves.
In moments of overload, the body switches into “keep going” mode rather than “feel and sense.”
This can show up as:
inner restlessness
less patience with yourself
feeling mentally everywhere and nowhere at the same time
exhaustion that goes deeper than being tired
irritability or withdrawal
changes in how closeness or intimacy feel
All of this is normal.
It doesn’t mean something is “wrong.” It means your system is trying to protect you.
Why closeness and intimacy often feel different in December
Closeness — with yourself and with others — grows from calm, presence, and inner safety.
But those things are often in short supply in December.
When the nervous system is overloaded, it becomes harder to arrive in your own body.
Many people share that intimacy or connection suddenly feels more challenging.
Not because the desire is gone, but because the mind is too loud to let the body speak.
Knowing this is normal can already bring a sense of relief.
What actually helps during this time
December isn’t about “getting everything right.”
It’s about creating small, intentional pockets of space that support you.
For example:
short breaks — without having to justify them
lowering your expectations of yourself
intentional breathing or moments of stillness
taking time to sort out your own needs
conversations that lighten rather than drain
connecting with people who feel good to be around
Many people say that having a professional, non-judgmental space helps them return to themselves — especially at year’s end.
