Anxiety During the Christmas/ Holiday Season

On the Couch with Dr Tracie Rogers

For some of us, the holiday period is a time of joy and excitement; but for many of us, the holiday period is a time of anxiety, grief or sadness. Anxiety at this time can be triggered by a range of stimuli - expectations of others, shopping anxiety, intrusive people, family gatherings that are stressful or perhaps you are reminded of people you lost at this time. Trishsanna Poyah-Rasul I are discussing ways to manage anxiety that can arise over the season. Don't let anyone tell you how you "should" feel over the holidays. Be aware of your feelings and give yourself the gift of self-care!
