With You in the Weeds

Managing Holiday Family Drama

Listen Later

Are you looking forward to being with your family over the holidays? Or are you dreading the next family get together? 

Family drama can not only ruin the holiday spirit, it can create unnecessary hurt and division in a family that’s felt for years to come.

John and Lynn designed this episode to help you identify the pain points that lead to family drama:

  1. Unrealistic expectations
  2. “Hot topic” conversations
  3. Complex family logistics
  4. Strained relationships

    5. This episode offers strategies to help you cope with potential family drama such as:

    1. Setting boundaries
    2. Practicing self-care
    3. Focusing on the positives
    4. Engaging in fun activities
    5. Taking breaks
    6. Accepting family imperfection
    7. Limiting alcohol consumption
    8. Seeking outside support
    9. Having your own family holiday

      10. This is the first episode in our new series “Keeping Your Sanity Over the Holidays”, and will allow you to prepare for (or avoid!) family drama and enjoy some holiday spirit.
