Dr. John A. King calls the holidays a 21-30 day pressure cooker that can worsen divorce, suicide, substance use, and emotional stress. He's releasing daily videos with single thoughts on self-management during this period, focusing on coping strategies rather than pills or formulas.
Hey, we are coming into a time of year that is notoriously difficult for some people. It's a time of year where there's a lot of divorces, a lot of suicides, a lot of challenges for folks. And a lot of it is because it's a little bit like a pressure cooker. There's all these other bits and pieces that we may have a handle on during the year, all seem to collide, be they personality, Alcohol, substances, you know, foods, preservatives, sugars, emotional pressures, regrets, fears, all get compressed into this period of somewhere between 21 and 30 days. So over the next 21 and 30 days, I'm going to do a series of videos. I'll try and post them daily for you on just a single thought on how to manage yourself during this time. Because you see, that's the key. The key doesn't lie in a pill, A person, a formula. It lies in you being able to manage you so that you can have the best time and so can those around you.
