It’s the most wonderful time of the year… until you’re at the Holiday dinner table and Grandpa Bob brings up politics again (even though he knows you don’t agree with his views) and Aunt Jane asks when you plan on having kids. Or your sister brings her new boyfriend and everyone asks why you’re still single, or Mom comments about how much food is on your plate.

Holiday gatherings can be really tough and can make a lot of us feel anxious this time of year. If your family dinner comes with several helpings of difficult conversations, you’re not alone.

We talked to Dr. Paula Kline, Licensed Psychologist, about how to handle those moments in a way that diffuses tension, protects your mental health and preserves your peace.

Here are her 5 simple strategies to navigate those conversations this season: https://excelbodyfitness.com/5-ways-to-diffuse-awkward-conversations-over-the-holidays-while-protecting-your-mental-health/

In Part One of our conversation, Dr. Shabbir talks about how to recognize perfectionism, why we must redefine success and why it all matters for mental well-being and emotional wellness.
