Christmas Stresses 3: Relationships & Family Dynamics

Advice on avoiding family arguments and creating a more harmonious festive season, plus how Christmas Coaching Cards could help us pause to reflect and start up new conversations.

Continuing our "Advent Calendar" of festive stresses which we're opening, unpicking and resolving for a happier, healthier Christmas! This week we're all about relationships and family dynamics as Gillian Russell asks: how can we create a harmonious atmosphere at home and avoid an Eastenders-style Christmas full of high drama...?!

Kim Morgan, Managing Director of Barefoot Coaching Ltd and author of The Coach's Casebook, explains the idea behind her Christmas Coaching Cards and her hope that they will start conversations, bridge the gap between generations and encourage us to be more reflective during the festive season.

Director of Action For Happiness Dr Mark Williamson talks about the reasons for family tensions at Christmas time, how to avoid the potential flashpoints and why valuing your own happiness is not only good for your well-being, but can help to create a more relaxed atmosphere at home too.
