More Than Holiday Stress

  • Summary

  • The holidays can represent a time of great stress but also great opportunity for growth. In this interview/discussion we will examine three types of holiday stress and how to approach this time of the year as a potential path to peace, joy and renewal. First, we will talk about diet stress and holiday food and ways to enjoy the deliciousness of the season without over-doing it. Second, we will look at all the various stressors associated with the holiday including shopping, money, family, and travel and how to prepare for your greatest stress triggers. Finally, the holiday season is one associated with spirituality and deep feelings, as illustrated in two great holiday classics A Christmas Carol (by Charles Dickens) and the movie It's a Wonderful Life (directed by Frank Capra). We will discuss these movies, the meaning of anniversaries, and a review of this year's past losses. These can be key stressors that turn us toward meaning and spirituality as ways to cope.
