I spoke with Dr. Patricia Barber about taking care of our mental health at Christmas as part of her excellent “Thinking about Therapy” series (series available on Patricia’s page).A lot of what we discussed is useful not only at Christmas but all year round to support our mental health.
Some topics include:
📍Boundaries
📍Self care
📍Family dynamics
📍Mental health supports
📍Loss
📍Stages of and difficulties around Christmas
📍General tips for minding your mental health
