Rick Sanchez welcomes Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Josh Klapow to discuss the impact that talking politics during family gatherings can have during the holidays. It used to be that no one spoke about religion or politics at the dinner table, but times have changed. Klapow agrees that we are all allowed to be passionate about our political views but we must be able to police ourselves and not let it become an issue that could disrupt or ruin the event. Sanchez concludes that successful people are the ones who can sit in discomfort without escalating the situation when someone begins saying inappropriate things. At the end of the day, it’s about love and forgiveness. And isn’t that what the holiday season is all about?
