Summary

In this solo episode, I discuss all things overstimulation, anger, and how to navigate the often-triggering holiday season in a mindful and healthy way. I unpack the confusing dichotomy of wanting to spend time with your family but not always being your best self when you’re with them, my recent overstimulated Thanksgiving and how I handled it, and where I believe my overstimulation comes from. I also discuss mourning the “childhood” holiday experience and adjusting to being an adult during the holidays, which tools have helped me the most with overstimulation, and how important it is to communicate your needs with your loved ones.

Key Takeaway / Points:

On wanting to spend time with your family while not always being the best version of yourself when you’re with them
My Thanksgiving experience with overstimulation and how I handled it
Where my overstimulation comes from
On reverting back to teenage selves while in our childhood homes

Tools that help me the most with overstimulation

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:03.2	Hi guys, I want to talk about over simulation nation and navigating the holidays.
0:10.6	It is still honestly kind of shocking to me because this episode, when I recorded it,
0:17.3	was like such a random, oh, let me just have a therapy session for myself and talk about how I
0:25.2	can unfortunately get really angry and have a lot of it is stemmed in over simulation and
0:30.9	anxiety. And that is hands down the number one most listened to episode like still.
0:37.5	It's one definitely that I get the most messages on. It's definitely the most listened to
0:42.4	analytically, although maybe now the sister's episode is ahead of it. But I just feel like it's
0:46.8	the one that you guys relate to the most, which is so interesting to me because it's something
0:52.1	that I don't think it's talked about a lot. It's something that I was even hesitant to share
0:57.6	because it feels like ugly or icky. I don't know what the terminology is. I just don't love the
1:03.7	feeling when I have those emotions. Like I don't want to be an angry person. And I think because

1:24.6	that because the holidays are right around the corner. We're in them basically. And Thanksgiving
1:32.2	was a doozy for me. It really puts some shit under microscope and definitely brought some
1:38.0	stuff up for me. And when I shared about it, it resonated with a lot of you. A lot of you had
1:42.3	questions. So here we go. Let's chat about oversimulation, anxiety, and reverting back to our
1:49.6	teenage selves around the holidays.
2:12.3	All right, let's go back to Thanksgiving. So for Thanksgiving, we go back to Jersey,
