Thursday, December 19, 2024

In this Season 1 episode of Dr. Phil, titled "Dreading the Holidays," guests open up about the tension and anxiety that often arise during the festive season.

Dr. Phil helps them recognize the sources of their stress, offering practical strategies to reframe their perspectives and embrace a more balanced approach. By focusing on communication, realistic expectations, and self-care, he encourages them to find joy and meaning in the holiday season rather than succumbing to dread and perfectionism.
