Making Peace with Food and the Holiday Season

Making Peace with Food and the Holiday Season

People seem to have mixed feelings about the holidays. There’s a sense of excitement and anticipation, and also, sadly, dread. One of the things that I discuss a LOT with clients is the food associated with the holidays, and all of the talk about food, body, and dieting that comes with it. For many, the food may be an enjoyable part of their holiday experience, but it is unfortunately coupled with guilt, shame, and dread because of all of the talk and expectations around what a person should and should not eat, look like, etc. So this holiday season, I encourage you to consider these four questions.
