Don’t get me wrong… family time is not always so uncomfortable, but I would be remiss to neglect addressing the painful of stressful experiences that I know many of my listeners are anticipating over the next few weeks.”

“The bottom line is that outside of the immediate nuclear family, there’s significantly increased possibility for differences. People with varying opinions abound, when for the rest of the year, we surround ourselves with people of shared interests and beliefs. When we encounter differences with other family members, we feel like we’re not being accepted for the person that we really are. Differences turn into disapprovals, which snowballs info conflict… and the symphony of drama ensues,” explains Dr. Anderson.
