Sex After Thanksgiving: Honest Conversations for Complicated Feelings with Therapist Sasha Hawkes

Amy and Sasha come together for a special Thanksgiving episode to talk about why the holidays can be so emotionally complicated. Amy shares honestly about grieving her parents and how social media can make it seem like everyone else has the perfect family and celebration.Sasha talks about what is bringing people in for therapy right now—obligation, family dynamics, pressure for a “perfect” day—and offers practical tools: setting boundaries (including not going if it’s not healthy for you), taking breathing breaks when you’re triggered, practicing radical self-care if you’re alone, and building a simple, daily gratitude practice. Together, they explore how we can hold grief and gratitude at the same time, be kinder to ourselves, and create a little more space and compassion in our bodies—and in our holidays.To learn more or contact us you can email us at [email protected] all Sex After updates and news please follow us on @Sexafterpodcast and/or @ironskirtproductions Hosted on Acast.
