Description
When life is hard, Holidays can feel heavy. When there is a marriage crisis, it can be tough to muster the energy to even move forward — especially when all the commercials and movies push the “merry and bright” of a mythic holiday.
And here we are, on the cusp of the Holiday season! It cuts across nations and beliefs. The season is here.
A client recently told me, “I just want to crawl into bed and get up on January 2nd."
What a loss! No chance to find the deeper meaning of the Holidays. No chance at connection, re-connection, and healing.
Her real desire was to avoid pain. But her solution did more than avoiding pain. It avoided life, and all it offered.
My suggestion: deal with the heavy Holidays in a way that brings depth, connection, and healing, by engaging in the holiday.
I have 5 suggestions on dealing with Holidays in the midst of a marriage crisis. Listen below.

In that episode, a therapist said, after one single session (where divorce had not been mentioned) that the client needed to prepare for divorce. In Gem's case, by The Save The Marriage Podcast
