Beating the Holiday Blues

The holidays can be a time of joy and thanksgiving; a time to meet with friends and family, to give and get gifts and relive cherished memories. But for many people, the holidays can also be a sad time. For those who have lost loved ones since the last holiday season or who are spending it alone, reliving those cherished memories can be too painful, too soon. It can be a reminder of all that one has lost, rather than all that one has. So what do you do during a time that’s supposed to be happy but may be filled with painful memories? What can you do to help alleviate the pain others may be feeling and remember the true meaning of the holidays-love and service? Here with us today to help us with exactly that is therapist Dr. Teyhou Smyth.
