During the festive season, holiday events often bring concealed triggers: big crowds, changed structures, emotional obligations, and memories tied to past experiences. Even when everything seems merry, those triggers can stir underlying stress or sadness. Understanding your own triggers helps you move through the holidays with awareness and composure. Share this to help others identify their holiday triggers too. https://ow.ly/oZEe50XHB4S
