Resiliency: Managing Stress During the Holidays
Excerpt from Psychology Today

Association, stress is on the rise in
America, with nearly half of Americans
reporting that stress is having a negative
impact on their personal and professional
lives. Although the holidays can be a

surrounded with images of people who are
happy, in love and enjoying the whirlwind
