In this episode of Healing CPTSD, I talk about the unique challenges many of us face during the holiday season, especially when it comes to family interactions. I know these times can bring up stress, anxiety, old wounds and coping mechanisms, particularly for those with complicated family dynamics or a history of childhood trauma. That’s why I’m sharing practical tips for maintaining your mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. No matter how you are deciding to spend the holidays – with or without family – we'll cover strategies to ensure that you navigate this time in a way that is most meaningful to you.
