(UNDATED) - While the holidays are a happy time for many, the stress associated with family obligations and dynamics can be a “lump of coal” in some people’s Christmas stockings.
According to the American Psychological Association, fatigue and stress are the top sources of negative feelings during this time of year.
Clinicl social worker and psychotherapist Lisa Ferentz says sometimes the best thing to do is simply not participate in a potentially stressful situation.
If you do feel compelled to see family or friends who can be a source of conflict, limit time you spend, bring a friend to act as a buffer or use your cell phone as an excuse for a break.
