A therapist on: how to survive the Holiday Season

#135 - Welcome to *THE* episode we all need this Holiday Season - a step-by-step therapy guide on how to navigate and survive the holiday season when we go home and get reunited with the family. This week, just in time for the holidays, Louise is joined by psychotherapist and attachment expert, Stephanie Therapy, and the pair discuss WHY the holidays can be so damn triggering (and how you can do this holiday season differently). Louise & Stephanie jump into:  How to process the strain of the holiday season on our nervous system (particularly crowded, over stimulating spaces and a lack of escape)  How to address holiday triggers and navigate them (particularly those uncomfortable questions and conversations) Exploring unresolved family issues (and why they resurface over the holidays) Delving into the impact of ‘labels’ within the family unit and how to handle these when we are no longer the person our family thinks we are How to better understand the ‘stressed-out overworked Mother’ and the ‘absent father’ or the ‘drunk sibling’ How to manage suppressing emotions and instead calmly balance our emotional regulation to avoid conflict Coping with changing family dynamics - how to adapt to new individuals joining the family unit Coping with missing loved ones during the holiday (and how to handle loss and grief) Louise & Stephanie also discuss practical coping and active strategies on how to set limits on sensitive topics, establishing boundaries with family members and how to navigate triggering or uncomfortable conversations during the holidays. They discuss safe spaces, setting limits, evening self-care, routine, balance and more.  ------ HEALING HONEYS (formerly OPENHOUSE)- STREAM MORE 🤍 Stream Healing Honeys on Spotify 🤍 Stream Healing Honeys on Apple Podcasts 🤍 Stream Healing Honeys on YouTube 🤍 Join Ad free listening CONNECT WITH LOUISE 💌 Connect with Louise on Instagram & TikTok 💌 Connect with Healing Honeys on Instagram 💌 Submit a question to the Healing Honeys Hotline 💌 TRASH TALKS: Submit Your Awful Dating Stories HEAL WITH LOUISE ✨ 7 Day Somatic Healing Trial: Daily Devotion ✨ Therapy + Healing PDFs: Therapy Shop ✨ 7 Day Free Confidence Queen Overhaul: Waitlist Sign Up ✨ There She Glows: 12 Week Life Transformation: Waitlist Sign Up Learn more about your ad choices.
