Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in: Thursday November 15th
Hello Trauma Community!
We are currently experiencing an ice storm here so it's a good day to get cozy by the fire with a warm blanket and tea.
Next week is Thanksgiving here in the US (which means Cupsgiving here on 7 Cups which is yay!). But seeing family, going to large gatherings and holidays in general can be an expecially stressful time.
- What would you add to this check-list for self-care during the holidays?
- How can we be especially mindful of both our boundaries and boundaries of others during the holidays?
- What is your favorite holiday memory? (can be related to any holiday)
Say hi, share a cup of tea, wave. I'm glad you're here. 
Holidays are tough for me because of the loneliness. I don't have much contact with family anymore. Usually, it's just me and my son so I don't bother with big meals or anything.
Having a tough week. Feel so stuck in the past...ugh
