<\/a><\/p>\nThat is unless of course you’re really\u00a0not feeling<\/em> the ‘Christmas cheer’.<\/p>\n This can be for many reasons. Perhaps you are alone for Christmas or New Year (as always, again, or for the first time). Some things that are arguably harder<\/em> to bear at this time are loss, bereavement, relationship\u00a0collapse, financial stress\u00a0or perhaps a traumatic event.\u00a0To be alone for Christmas is difficult,\u00a0compounding a\u00a0sadness that we may not struggle\u00a0to endure quite so much, at other\u00a0times. To lose someone\u00a0and to grieve at any time is hard, but at this time can feel\u00a0inexplicably\u00a0significant. Worries and stress around work and money can sometimes be exaggerated by the pressures of those shiny boxes beneath the tree, not to mention the anxieties invited by stressed shoppers or\u00a0overwhelming family gatherings.<\/p>\n Whatever the reason, it can be\u00a0difficult to manage yourself and your emotions – let alone life – around this holiday period, particularly whilst it seems everywhere we look we see\u00a0so much celebration, family displays of affection, friends warmth and so forth.<\/p>\n Those suffering often feel they are suffering\u00a0silently and alone. It doesn’t have to be this way.<\/p>\n Perhaps this is a time where you simply need a metaphorical ‘hand to hold’ you, someone to turn to, talk to, someone to listen to you. Perhaps this is the time for action, for change, to make a difference and to not feel the same when this season rolls around again next time.<\/p>\n Whatever your struggle, whatever your difficulties, I can help.
