The holiday season is the time of joy, cheer and family gatherings but for many of us, including myself, it’s the time filled with sadness, anxiety, loneliness and self reflection. But, what causes the holiday blues, where does it stem from and why isn’t it talked about enough?   My guest today, Julia Armand, is here to help me answer these questions. Julia is a Marriage and Family Therapist who helps individuals better understand their own patterns of behavior - why they are there, how to catch yourself falling into them and how to break free.   In today’s episode, we cover: * The Holiday Blues are a real thing  * When did this all start?   * Holding on to old family traditions  * Why don't we talk about this?   * Holidays are time for reflection   * Holiday season post - Covid * Holiday blues vs Depression   * What can you do to make it easier on yourself  * Be mindful that not everyone feels the same way  Connect with Julia on LatinX Therapy [https://latinxtherapy.com/therapists/julia-armand-lmft/] and Psychology Today [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/julia-armand-new-york-ny/782426]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
