#60 – How to NOT Kill Your Family This Thanksgiving
"You've gained a few pounds since last year!"
"You're not married yet?"
"Why can't you be quiet and sweet like your sister?"
"Are you really going to have another drink?"
"Of course we invited your ex. He's still family. We don't have to ask you."
"Have you heard about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?"
Welcome to the judgy-est time of the year!
If your family is like most families, Thanksgiving get-togethers are kind of a mixed blessing. 😂
And for some of us, the holidays can be downright painful and poke all sort of old wounds and unresolved traumas.
If you'll be braving the family firing squad this week, this podcast is for you.
Think of it as putting on your tactical armor before you rush into the fray!
We'll discuss:
- Why your family isn't actually the problem (and why this is good news)
- Coping strategies that DON'T usually work.
- How family can be a powerful tool for your healing.
- Ways to think about your family's comments, insults, comparisons, etc. that actually serve you.
- How to become bulletproof in any family situation.
