UnF#ck the Holiday Stress Bibliotherapy Group
Time-limited, closed group for adults (18+) who want to engage in group work about holidays
As the holidays approach, many of our community’s populations (LGBTQIA, Polyamorous or ENM, Kinky, Witchy, and maybe just traumatized) have mixed and painful feelings about holiday celebrations and traditions. Our favorite author just published a new book all about the personal work involved in changing your mind, heart and body in relation to holidays.
The book summary:
Holidays can be magical—and they can also suck so hard. Need to make a plan for Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, or other holidays? Trying to figure out how (or if) to observe a birthday or difficult anniversary? This holiday survival guide from Dr. Faith G. Harper, bestselling author of Unfuck Your Brain and Unfuck Your Boundaries, is for anyone who’s ever struggled with the expense, drama, loneliness, pressure, and feelings that go along with so many of those big days on the calendar.
Learn coping, logistical, and conversational strategies for making it through a family holiday dinner without bloodshed. Figure out how to go your own way next year (and how to have that conversation). Gain skills and recipes for hosting your friends or chosen family. Navigate religious, political, and dietary differences. Whatever you celebrate (or would prefer not to), this funny, level-headed, helpful book offers perspective and tools for making all holidays more meaningful and less stressful.
