Matthew Tull, PhD writes about handling Stress and the Holidays, specifically for people with PTSD. 

“Spend some time just thinking about what the holidays really mean to you, and then try to come up with ways that you can connect with that. In the end, you may prevent undue stress and anxiety while at the same time increase feelings of happiness and satisfaction.”

Mary Tendall and Jan Fischler have written on This Is VietNow about the impact on families during the Holiday Season and how they can alleviate the stress when a loved one has PTSD.

“Finally, acknowledge this difficult time and offer verbal and nonverbal support. Most important, remember that the key to having an enjoyable holiday is to forget what the season is supposed to be like, and create experiences that work for you and your family.”
