Your Therapist Needs Therapy 124 - 'Tis the Season of Moral Injury
This week Jeremy follows up on last week’s holiday themed episode with the concept of moral injury and how the holidays often force us into rituals, traditions, and family dynamics that violate our core values. We unpack the psychological and somatic cost of participating in celebrations rooted in colonialism, religious harm, or identity erasure, and why “forced cheer” can feel like a betrayal of self. Finally, we explore practical strategies for navigating holiday gatherings with integrity, boundaries, and a reclaimed sense of agency.
As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube. To show your love for the show you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well! None of my online work would be possible without my media maven Kenny, so check out their work as well at kenlingdesign.com
