Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:24:38 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The holidays can be a stressful and emotional time for many, and that’s OK.“Some people are dealing with things where they're not feeling very connected,” said Matthew Harmon, a local therapist at Thriveworks. “They're feeling isolated and depressed, anxious, unhappy.”Financial stress plays a big role this time of year, according to Harmon.“We all know that Holidays are not cheap.
