This time of year can be stressful, but we’ve got your back! Local therapist Ayako Otani is here to talk us through building up our holiday mental health toolbox. We talk anxiety, boundaries, and why it’s OK to get a little hibernate-y this time of year.

Just a heads up, this episode discusses suicide. If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide or in crisis, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline offers 24/7 call, text and chat access to trained crisis counselors who can help.
