Coping with Emotional Trauma During the Holidays
Holidays are supposed to be joyous and happy, but for many, it is a time of overwhelming stress. We may overextend ourselves emotionally and physically with a strong desire for belonging and connecting with others. For many of us, getting together with our families and friends brings joy and happiness; however, for others, it is the worst time of the year as it reminds them of an extremely stressful or disturbing event where they felt hopeless and emotionally out of control – traumatized. It is a time that can trigger all sorts of complicated feelings, memories, and anxieties.
