Today’s topic is showing up in therapy sessions everywhere right now with the holidays and the end of the year. Many people have conflicted feelings about their relationships with their families and upcoming family events; while we feel the pressure to be happy, cheerful, and joyous, we need to realize that some people have much dread, stress, and pressure during this time. Some people are just not okay. Let’s talk about how to better manage whatever holiday stress you might be feeling. Show Highlights: How to have a realistic perspective around expectations, pressure, stressors, and the overall mental load of the holidays Why many people have strong feelings of sadness, loss, and grief around the holiday season How to take stock of the factors contributing to your stress Why holiday traditions usually change when a new baby comes along—and families are not always accommodating or understanding How to set boundaries (both physical AND emotional) and be intentional with self-care to manage the stressors and overwhelm of the holiday season Resources: Visit www.postpartum.net for resources and support!
