“Resilience isn’t about moving through life without pain or discomfort. It’s about continuing forward in spite of it.”

Yes! This!! 👏👏👏

In her latest blog post, our fab clinician Annie shares wisdom for those of us wondering how to stay on our own yoga mat without getting distracted by others and how they may be showing up - differently - in their own struggles. Are they doing it “better” than us? Is there such a thing?

Wait for it:

You bump into another parent at the grocery store, gym, church, etc. and the dreaded question arises…

“What are you doing for the holidays?”

Believe it or not, this seemingly innocuous question can send those of us facing difficult family transitions completely reeling. Spiraling.
Nosediving.

True story 😟

When families separate, divorce or suffer a traumatic loss, the grief for what was - and what will no longer be - can feel overwhelming.

What should we say? The truth?!? Well, buckle up because it might sound something like this:

“Oh, I’m going to cry in my closet while my ex-husband and his new wife watch my children open their gifts on Christmas morning. How about you?”

So instead, we hide. Deflect. Change the subject. Avoid social media. Hope no one asks.

We white-knuckle through the pain until the calendar reads January 2nd and we can finally unclench.

Sound familiar? Check out our latest blog by .psychotherapist for tips on how to navigate these (dreaded) holiday encounters 🎄❄️

We’ve got you because we’ve BEEN there. We get it. And we are here to help.

You’re not alone.
