Ep 15: Holiday Hang-Ups
Description
In this episode Julie and Ginger acknowledge that the holidays are not always full of cheer for all families. Children with traumatic experiences may not be able to embrace the joy of the season. How can we manage? Julie and Ginger share tools that have worked for them, but Julie says, “Sometimes you just have to think outside of the box.” They reference Kathleen Benckendorf’s list of trauma-informed gift ideas. The list can be found here: https://www.attachmenttraumanetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/Gift-List.pdf
Their best advice – Take care of yourself! You must have something in your cup to be able to serve it up.
