For many, this time of year can be really stressful. Instead of being joyous and full of good cheer, many feel more like Ebenezer Scrooge. Oh, you might put a smile on your face but you’re exhausted by overwhelm and the intention of making everyone’s holidays happy whether they, or you, like it or not. The fact is we bring most of this stress on ourselves. The good news is that you have the power to make it go away.

Authors of the Irrelationship: How We Use Dysfunctional Relationships to Hide from Intimacy, psychoanalyst Dr. Mark Borg, psychiatrist, Dr. Grant Brenner, and registered nurse Daniel Berry, join the show for a discussion of how you can minimize the stress of the season and really enjoy your holidays.
