Online Therapy
This year, Thanksgiving dinner might look different, but most of us can still rest assured that we will be able to spend the holiday celebrating with our loved ones. However, not everything about the holidays is holly and jolly. The season often brings unique challenges that can negatively impact our mental health.
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), nearly 3/4 of people report feeling more depressed or anxious around the holidays. Even in people without a diagnosed mental health condition, this so-called "Holiday Stress Disorder" is common around the Thanksgiving and winter holidays.
For some people, this might be the first holiday spent without a lost loved one, leading to a resurfacing of grief. For others, the holidays might mean facing intrusive questions from pushy relatives about milestones like getting married and having kids. And for others still, reuniting with family could spark conflict with dysfunctional relatives.
Life by Design Therapy is here to support you throughout the challenges arising during the holiday season. Contact us to inquire about our online therapy options for extra support through Thanksgiving and beyond.
