The holidays can bring joy, tradition, and connection, but they can also surface pressure, conflict, and emotional overwhelm.

In this post, we’ll define what boundary-setting means from a therapeutic perspective and walk through several common situations where boundaries may be needed — along with examples of what setting them can look like in real life.

 Uncertainty is an inevitable part of life. Finances, family, health, politics, relationships—at some point, we all face not knowing what the future holds. As humans, we crave stability and control, so when life feels unpredictable, it can lead to stress, anxiety, or even a sense of powerlessness.
 This season can be a stressful time for anybody. Financial stress alone can be a heavy burden, not to mention the socio-political issues and complex feelings some have around the holidays. And on top of all that, visiting family feels almost like a non-negotiable event for many of us. But we live in a very divided time; generational and political differences can be very stark. Family gatherings during the holiday can force those people to clash against each other and cause anger and bitterness.
