As we enter the end-of-year holiday season, many of us will start to experience high anxiety with just the thought of spending time with certain friends and family members or even co-workers. Sometimes, we start drinking early to ease our stress and improve our ability to share space with those folks. Other times, we isolate, panic, argue, or go overboard, trying to control everything around us. If this sounds like your end-of-year holiday experiences or expectations, boundaries may help you achieve your holiday expectations.
