Take Charge of Your Health - Psychologist Helen Kramer and Emotions at Christmas

The holidays are complicated for many even in the best of times.  Sometimes it is a mourning for those who have passed since the previous year.  Sometimes it's complicated by personalities.  Sometimes it's lonely.  Usual schedules are disrupted. Every thing seems to be heightened in significance.  These days, we grapple with whether "to gather" or not.  Zoom and other platforms have exploded as an alternative means to connect but lacks the satisfaction of in person meetings.  At year-end holiday times, we have the opportunity to review and reflect over the past year.  We can set new goals, determine to try something different, and drop what doesn't serve us.  Best, it can be a time of personal growth.
