Episode Synopsis

The holidays are here, and while they bring joy, they can also stir up stress, anxiety, and even loneliness. How can we take care of our mental health during this emotional season? Dr. Sean Fitzpatrick, psychotherapist and executive director of the Jung Center, joins Blanca Quezada to share practical tips for managing holiday blues, handling family stress, and embracing self-compassion. Discover how simple practices like mindful breathing and positive self-talk can transform your mental outlook. Dr. Fitzpatrick also sheds light on heavier topics, such as family violence and suicidal thoughts, with resources for those in need, including the Houston Area Women's Center and the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Let's prioritize our mental wellness this season—it's just as important as our physical health. For more information, visit: https://junghouston.org New episodes drop every Monday!
