Healthy vs Unhealthy Guilt During the Holiday Season

Adult Counseling
Written By Kat Reid

In the midst of the holiday hustle, let's talk about guilt – a complex emotion that often visits us during this time.

Healthy Guilt:

  • Reflective: A gentle nudge to introspect and learn.

  • Constructive: Motivates positive change and growth.

  • Empathetic: Rooted in consideration for others.

Unhealthy Guilt:

  • Excessive: Overwhelming and disproportionate.

  • Paralyzing: Stifles progress and personal development.

  • Irrational: Arises from unrealistic expectations.

This season, let's recognize the difference and embrace growth with compassion.
