Coping with Stress at the Holidays 11/13/2025

Carrie Van Schaick is a licensed therapist and founder of The Union Therapy Group in New York. She talked with Bruce about how the holidays tend to bring out old family roles and reactions. Many people focus on who triggers them instead of noticing the energy they bring into the room. She says that real growth comes from regulating yourself, staying grounded, and taking responsibility for your part in the emotional tone of the gathering.
