"We all feel stressed from time to time, but the holidays offer their own special stressors that can make us feel even worse—such as a family get-together that devolves into a fight over politics or a shopping trip for gifts that maxes out your credit card. Stress can be unhealthy. So, what can you do to avoid or minimize some of these holiday stress inducers?" (American Psychological Association).
Holidays can be stressful financially, relationally, socially, and physically. Also, holidays can bring up feelings of grief, anxiety, depression, and fear. To learn more about holiday stress and ways to cope, please visit the below article written by Elise Burley from Therapist.com.
