Episode 270: The Family and Managing Holiday Stress - Sharon Spano Solo Cast

12/6/2023
The holiday season is upon us! But what should be a time of rest and celebration is often the season in which we are most stressed and filled with dread. So, how can you manage your stress levels during the holidays to ensure that your end-of-year celebrations are as restorative as they should be? For this special episode of The Other Side of Potential, our host, Sharon Spano, Ph.D., sits down with listeners for a heart-to-heart in preparation for the festive season. Sharon has experienced her own holiday-season traumas, particularly around the passing of her son, Michael, and she explains just how common and universally relatable holiday stress is. In our conversation, Sharon explains the family system and the common characteristics of modern family dynamics before detailing the festive season disruptors: family members who impose their will onto others, having fantasy-like expectations, the tensions of a diverse family, and the factors of time and money (to name a few). The standout solution that Sharon provides for easing holiday stress is to remember what the holidays are actually about, and you’d do well to forge new festive traditions if your current ones are only causing you trouble.

The images on the news are heartbreaking, regardless of which side you support. People killed, displaced, trapped beneath the rubble, children screaming in fear, entire families gone.
