Description
24 Page Resource Planning Workbook
The Holidays Past and Present workbook is designed to help you reflect on past holiday experiences and thoughtfully plan for the season ahead. By looking back at previous years, you’ll identify patterns, triggers, and emotions, allowing you to set clear boundaries and make more intentional choices for the holidays to come. It’s important to recognize that while we can’t control everything, we do have more power over our emotions and reactions than we may realize.
This workbook acknowledges the complexity of family dynamics, especially when dealing with mental health challenges, such as borderline personality disorder or emotional sensitivity. The idealized “Hallmark Holiday” vision often doesn’t match the reality, particularly when facing stress, sibling rivalries, grief, or economic strain. Understanding these challenges is key to managing expectations and finding healthier ways to cope.
Through guided prompts for each holiday celebrated in the past two years, this workbook encourages you to reflect on personal history, past difficulties, and successes. By answering these questions, you’ll gain insight into how you can approach upcoming holidays with more self-awareness, compassion, and resilience. Let’s get started on creating a holiday season that works for you and those around you!
