preparing for the holidays

As we continue to approach the winter holidays it is important to take the time to plan ahead, manage expectations, and prepare mentally for what is often a stressful time. This week, Caitlin shares some additional tips for how to manage our own thoughts and emotions, how to manage stress that may come with having children around, and how to cope with holiday grief related to loss of a loved one. Additionally, Caitlin shares some mindfulness and grounding techniques that may be helpful alongside everything else. As always, if you need support, please do not hesitate to reach out.
