Dreading the holiday season because of the pressure to make it a perfect, magical time... when in reality it usually SUCKS?
Yeah. I get it.
When we live with or love someone with borderline personality disorder (BPD), it can make the holidays an absolutely painful time.
I’m sure you’ve noticed we can’t control our BPD and highly emotionally sensitive people. What we can control is our response to them.
The way we respond to their distress — which is heightened around the fall and winter holidays — greatly influences their distress, and ours. The good news is, we can respond skillfully and avoid making things worse. We can even make it easier for our people to down-regulate their own distress.
It’s also possible to add some sweet moments to our holiday experience, even if we can’t totally get rid of all the less-sweet moments.
Sound too good to be true? It’s not…
