211: Working Through Drama and Trauma During the Holidays: Advice from Licensed Mental Health Counselor Justine Carino, Host of Thoughts from the Couch
Sure, the holidays are great, but you know what they also are? Super stressful.
Family drama and other issues can feel bigger and harder during the holiday season when everyone is forced to be in one space, and that can take the joy out of celebrating.
This week I'm hosting a deep dive with licensed mental health counselor and host of the Thoughts from the Couch Podcast, Justine Carino. She's walking us through how to handle all the drama of the holiday season, no matter where it's coming from.
In this episode we talk:
+ How to evolve past the "roles" we tend to play in our family
+ What to do when you've evolved or changed, but people in your life haven't
+ When to cut people out of your life
+ Justine's advice on parent/child difficulty and how to tell if the relationship is worth saving
+ What is radical acceptance?
+ Why your relationship with your parents defines your life
+ How to handle relatives asking personal questions like about future family planning – 25:00
+ Dealing with overwhelm and exhaustion during the holidays – 26:30
+ Dealing with a negative in-laws experience – 28:00
+ Getting more help from your partner – 29:20
+ Missing a loved one – 30:25
+ Trying not to overeat – 31:45
