PiscesAlone for the Holidays
Divorce Detox: One of the greatest fears that surfaces with divorce is the fear of being alone. Whether it's the fear of growing old alone, sleeping alone, eating alone or just plain being alone, the depth of the fear can be debilitating. At no other time is it more pronounced than during the holidays. Negative fantasies about how the upcoming holiday season will be spent can spiral any newly separated or divorced person into a panic attack.
Here are some common questions
that our newly separated clients are asking:
"Will I feel embarrassed showing up at Thanksgiving without my ex?"
"Will Christmas morning be lonely?"
"Will I have a date for New Year's?"
"Will Santa come to both parents' houses?"
The answer to all these questions is yes and no, because you get to
decide the answer. How you experience the holidays alone is
completely within your control. At the end of the day, you have many
different options of how to think about your holiday season alone.
You have:
- Fantasies of what "should" be.
- Memories of what used to be.
- Possibilities of what could be.
Being on your own for the holidays is an opportunity to dig deep
within yourself to find your own true desires and sources of joy. Use
your alone time this holiday to get to know yourself. This will allow
you to create a holiday experience that is perfectly designed just for
you.
