As we enter the winter season it’s important to prepare for navigating the holidays. Whether it’s challenging for you to see family members during the holidays or your physical health changes with the change in weather, seasonal affective disorder has an impact on our wellbeing.

I sat down with therapist Jody Smith from Clarity Counseling Network to discuss the impact of the change of seasons on our mental health, how we can get better at navigating the holidays, and managing seasonal affective disorder. Jody shares what it means to be therapy curious and how you can take better care of yourself with practical tools and tips to managing the holiday season and all of the stressors that come with it.
