Understanding Festive Overload: Recognize common stressors like flashing lights, crowded shops, and complex family dynamics that can trigger burnout, meltdowns, and anxiety.

Sensory-Safe Celebrations: Discover tips for creating a comfortable environment, such as using low-stimulation decorations or quiet background music, or none at all.
Communicating Your Needs: Practice gentle ways to advocate for yourself, such as stating your preferred time limit ("I can stay for about an hour") or asking for a schedule in advance ("Can we plan ahead so I know what to expect?").
Maintaining Routines: Understand why consistency matters for nervous system regulation and how to maintain regular sleep, meal, and medication times whenever possible.
