I was never a fan of the festive season. I acutely felt the pressure of having to feel ‘good’ and happy. I found the reality of ending another year and still feeling anxious very confrontational. I always wished I could just go to sleep for the whole two weeks of Christmas and New Year and wake up again the 4th of January. This year has thrown up different challenges, again. But even within that, I now enjoy this time. I make sure I continue to take care of me and do not cross any boundaries that might trigger anxiety (including family, overindulging, difficult thought spirals etc.) and this programme is how I do it, how I stay sane and get the most out of this time. I hope you join me and that it supports you like it supports me. Merry Christmas x
