Dear TAT Friend,

Why are the holidays a great time to do TAT? Because there are so many opportunities to feel bad -- family get-togethers, work parties, the people we’re with, the people who aren’t with us but we wish they were, old heartbreaks, loneliness, and more, much more!

I say, “Yay! Emotional junk is showing itself. Perfect time time to do TAT!”

You might say, “Hmmph, who has time, anyway? And what can you do in one minute to make things better?”

Here’s what you can do:

If you’re at a party or any kind of get-together and find yourself getting more and more stressed and unhappy, hide out in a bathroom, your car or wherever you can be alone.

Then, for one minute, do the TAT Pose and have silent conversation with whoever comes to mind. You can even communicate with a whole group at once.

Don’t try and be polite -- just express whatever’s there. I predict you’ll be feeling much better after that and can rejoin your party feeling more at ease.

The hard part? Remembering to do it!

You can also do TAT on behalf of your whole family or any group of people in a session with me. You can book sessions with me now during our Holiday Sale for 20% off until midnight Pacific Time, Dec. 31st.  

Just this season, I had the pleasure of working with one person going home for the holidays bringing their new spouse that the family hadn't been very welcoming to before. 

In the beginning of the session, they described feelings from the previous trips and the coming trip as “terrible, not enjoyable at all, with nervousness and difficulty connecting.” At the end of their session, thinking about the trip they saw and felt “lots of Christmas music, happiness, laughter and conversation, feeling light-hearted.”

Doing TAT on behalf of the whole family changes the family dynamics before you even get there.  

Meanwhile, remember: for one minute -- do the TAT Pose and have silent communication with whoever comes to mind. Feel happier. In fact, have the happiest holiday season ever!

Love and smiles,
Tapas
