Deep dives
The Holidays as a Magnifier
The holidays can serve as a magnifier of both joy and pain. It is a time when joyous experiences, such as being in a loving relationship or having a close-knit family, are amplified. However, it can also intensify feelings of sorrow, loneliness, or missing someone who is no longer present. Comparisons to idealized portrayals of the holidays on social media and movies can further exacerbate these emotions. The podcast emphasizes that many people experience a complicated version of the holidays and reassures listeners that they are not alone in their feelings.
