—— TRANSYLVANIA'S MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM By - Dr. Joanna Byers Consulting Psychologist Before continuing our aeries on the De velopmental Phases we are going to take some space for a “Little Lecture” on the Holi days. Holiday Happiness — Holiday Unhappiness The Christmas - New Year Season is gen erally considered to be the “time to be jolly,” “a joyful time,” “ a time of great good will,” etc. For many people the holidays are just that. Be cause they are well adjusted, because they see things as they really are and not the way they would like them to be, and because they have faith in themselves, they are able to view this season in the right perspective. They enjoy • the hustle and bustle, the extra work, the par ties and cooking, the preparation of gifts for those whom they love, and the holiday season is truly one of joy and great good will. But for some people the holiday is ap proached with dread and misgivings. Those people who tend to see the world as some thing different than it is think that the glit ter and good feeling of the season will make the world over at least for a few days — but that doesn’t happen. Those who try to im press others with words, outward show and false jollity fail in their attempts because they are unable to feel close to other people and so they are as miserable as they were the rest of the year. People who are burdened with guilt, unable to accept the forgiveness which the Christmas season symbolizes and unable to accept the forgiveness which the Christ mas season symbolizes and unable to forgive themselves, sink into the quagmire of despair and often turn the jolly season into one of frustration and hurt for themselves and their families or friends. This little lecture is written for those peo ple who dread the holiday season and for the families and friends of these people. First, let’s consider the person who dreads the holidays. All the general good will, friendliness and joy will not make anybody over. The change needs to be WITHIN the person and must be made BY the person. Recognition to oneself that you can’t “kid” the world into being different is a first step in the change. Admitting to oneself that you are lying to yourself and to others is another important step. And looking into the area of how long one punishes oneself can be a step in getting out of the bog of despair. For families and friends of people who have trouble during the holidays some thoughts to remember: When you are planning remem ber the difficulties which the person has. What ever the problem don’t expect that the person is going to behave differently than he or she usually does. Recognize, too, that they need your loving concern to help them through this difficult time. And for everybody — search your inner urs CLAMP DOWN 0 WOOD ClAMP HOLDS MATERIAL IN POSITION FOR GLUING.
