IF THE HOLIDAYS MAKE YOU FEEL:

-Lonely (Are you far from family and friends or feeling the lack of a significant other?)

-Poor (Are you un- or under-employed? Is this RECESSION hitting you especially hard?)

-Overwhelmed (Do you see too much of your family and friends at this time of year?)

-Alienated (Does the rampant consumerism and superficiality upset you?)

-Disturbed by memories (Do the holidays remind you of past trauma or loss?)

-Tempted (Does all the eating and drinking challenge your resolve to be healthy?)

…DON’T DESPAIR; YOU ARE NOT ALONE…
