    The holidays are great, but also can be stressful, depending on your family dynamics. This episode is to help you get along with your relatives and have a peaceful time at your family gathering.  The episode is based on online resources full of advice from pyschologists, therapists, and other experts in related fields.  Here are the sources used in this episode:  Care.com Self.com Jezebel.com Here is the episode I made on 'How to talk to anyone, anywhere'  Here is Jefferson Fisher's website  Here is the blurb on how to approach a family member who is critical, to communicate a request of not focusing on your faults during the family gathering.  "I'm not feeling very good about the holidays this year, and it seems like you're kind of looking at the things that I'm not doing. Maybe this year you could focus on what I am doing or just not even focus on me at all, because it's really a time when I'm wanting to be with people who love me and wanting to be in a nurturing, positive environment."
