Summary

Welcome back to Moment. Moment is your place for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead. Another episode with me this week. It is the next instalment in my Christmas mini-series to help you have the happiest Christmas ever. This week we are talking about family dynamics. Is it possible to have a drama-free Christmas? Family dynamics can get so tricky at Christmas. Your family know how to push your buttons because they put them there. If you find it triggering and hard, perhaps it is because of what has been set up by our caregivers and the people around us in our early years. Throw in alcohol and high expectations, it isn’t surprising we get triggered over Christmas. I really want to help you today with some tips and ideas for how you might have a more peaceful family dynamic, how not to get triggered and how to enjoy time together. I hope you find this Moment really helpful. Let me know how you can get on. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1:43.5	and i think that is such an important
1:46.0	thing to remember as we go into these celebrations and events with extended family,
1:52.9	is that if you find it triggering and hard, then that's probably why. You know, if you're a regular
1:57.9	listener to the podcast, we talk a lot about some of those deepest wounds, some of the things we find most painful, we find most challenging.
