HOWEVER, when we are aware of unhealthy tendencies we have the power to stop them!! Tune in to this podcast episode to get the inside scoop on: -What are “Regression and Numbing” -How to Recognize them when they occur (so you can course-correct immediately!) -Why productivity is unhealthy coping disguised as achievement -How to cope in healthy ways during the holidays (even around your crazy family) What is your biggest stressor during the holidays?
