Whilst we all look forward to some downtime over the holidays, in a blended family, often what is supposed to be a time to recharge can feel like quite the opposite.

Whether you have stepchildren staying with you longer than usual, you don’t have your biological children with you as much as you would like, or you simply have more dynamics to juggle than usual, you’ll certainly feel a whole lot calmer after hearing from Sydney-based psychotherapist and stepfamily specialist, Susan Lancaster.

In this episode we cover ways to alleviate anxiety in the lead-up to the holidays together with the importance of managing expectations and honing your communication skills - and importantly, some strategies to ensure you make way for some much needed downtime.
