Your Therapist Needs Therapy 80 - Thanksgiving Bonus Episode: Turkey, Trump, and Trauma
Jeremy chats about healthy boundaries with family of origin and how to navigate family gatherings in these trying political times. He covers how chosen family is more important than biology, why this political season may be more emotionally (physically, mentally, spiritually) fraught than previous ones, and how to make your holiday escape hatch (the blog post mentioned). Jeremy also talks about some of the religious trauma of another Trump presidency, and some of the realistic expectations to set when dealing with christian nationalists this holiday season.
