Webinar | Holiday Harmony: Helping Clients Manage Stress and Thrive
The holiday season, while a time for joy and connection, is often accompanied by significant stress, anxiety, and burnout for many individuals. For mental health professionals, coaches, and wellness practitioners, understanding how to equip clients with effective, actionable strategies to navigate this pressure is essential for maintaining their well-being and progress.
This 2 Hour webinar will provide you with evidence-based techniques and practical communication frameworks to help your clients move from feeling overwhelmed to experiencing genuine “holiday harmony.” We will explore the common psychological traps of the season—such as perfectionism, financial pressure, and managing complex family dynamics—and offer concrete, proactive tools for stress reduction.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify the three most common psychological triggers for holiday-related stress and burnout in clients.
- Apply a simple time and energy audit framework to help clients set realistic boundaries around commitments and social engagements.
- Teach clients three specific, minute-long mindfulness techniques that can be used in the moment to manage acute stress during family gatherings or high-pressure situations.
- Develop tailored communication scripts to help clients effectively navigate challenging conversations, manage financial stress, and address the pressure of gift-giving.
- Integrate a “post-holiday recovery plan” into their final sessions of the year to help clients transition smoothly into the new year without a January “burnout crash.”
Don’t just help your clients survive the holidays—help them thrive. Join us to gather the practical tools you need to support your clients through a genuinely restful and meaningful season.
