Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober

E260: 5 Holiday Mental Health Challenges


Listen Later

If you love the holidays, then I’m happy for you, but many of us don’t. If the holidays make you feel tired, jealous, stressed, and resentful, then you came to the right place. In this episode I’ll discuss different mental health challenges that may be coming up for you and I’ll weave in survey data on stress and mental health during the holiday season. We’ll cover things like social media comparison, invisible labor, pressure to be perfect, feeling overlooked, and being around drinking more than usual.

What to listen to next:

E249: Alcohol and Cortisol: Extra Stress and Extra Cravings
