No one can ignore the fact that the holiday season, though festive, can also bring a lot of stress for many with the amount of commitments and pressure to participate in “traditional” holiday activities. But this time of year should not be measured in how many things you have been able to do, but the quality in which you do them.
For our Wellness Wednesday ahead of the holidays I sit down with Chad Allee from Michigan Therapy and Counseling to discuss ways that we can better communicate, connect, and self-care so that we are at our best to be present with our friends and family.
Another element that can often be swept under the rug is that not everyone considers the holidays to be joyful. With a combination of loneliness and seasonal affective disorder, many have difficulties finding joy in this time of year. Michigan Therapy and Counseling can help to steer you towards a brighter tomorrow but if you are experiencing an emergency please call 988 to speak with a specialist at the crisis hotline.
Michigan Therapy and Counseling is a locally owned and operated mental health clinic with offices in Cadillac and Marquette which specialize in a variety of mental health issues such as ADHD, anger, trauma, and grief to just name a few.
