Ep 24 - What to do when you feel Christmas fear instead of Christmas cheer!

EPISODE NOTES FOR THE CHRISTMAS EPISODE

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FEEL CHRISTMAS FEAR INSTEAD OF CHRISTMAS CHEER

With Christmas just around the corner, this episode is dedicated to women who are facing challenges because of an abusive relationship.

My aim is to provide you with some strategies to stay safe and have some useful tips to help you get through this difficult time of the year.

Christmas should be a time of peace, goodwill, and joy.

But what about where there is a breakdown in a relationship, or there is a cycle of abuse in a relationship?

What does this time of the year represent for women and children effected by family violence?

Instead of feeling excited about Christmas women effected by domestic violence can be left with feelings of dread.

Knowing how complex it is like to navigate through this time of the year safely is why I have put together this episode to hopefully help you feel supported.

Your safety is the number one priority this Christmas and that of your children, if you are a parent too.

Just a reminder if you are in immediate danger call the police.

If you are feeling isolated and scared and do not know who to turn to, use a free online domestic violence counselling support service.

If you need food relief, turn to charitable organizations for support.

If you are struggling to tap into support, you can get in touch with me and I will try to connect you with a domestic violence support organization. I cannot guarantee that I will get back to you immediately, it may take me 24 hours to reply.

I am back on board for my coaching work from 28 December, but will be checking in with my messages each day.

For anyone interested in getting some coaching support to get your life back on track in 2021, I will be available to start my Twelve week Triumph Over Trials Coaching Program in January. If you are looking for support to get you over the hurdles you are facing, this program can help you build a strong foundation to help you become empowered to take back control over your life.

I have one scholarship to give away for the Triumph Over Trials Coaching Program to give away to the first person to contact me enquiring about this giveaway after listening to this episode.

This coaching program is currently priced at $2,000, but I have discounted it for the month of January to make is easy for you to take up the offer.

The January 2021 special price is $1,000.

Because I don’t want there to be anything standing in the way of you being able to do this transformational program, I also offer a payment plan. I know from my own past, that payment plans worked well with a need to budget week to week. So, feel free to talk this over with me, if this is something you feel you need to get you on the road to helping you get your life back on track.

Here are the top 10 tips of today’s episode

• Have safe people who you can turn to in a crisis
• Have a safety plan prepared just in case something happens and you need to leave.
• Talk over the safety plan with your children when you are calm.
• Call the police if you need immediate help.
• Make sure your children know what to do in an emergency.
• Have an excuse prepared in case you need to leave because you are feeling unsafe.
• Plan somewhere you can go in a hurry like a friend’s or a family member.
• Keep a contact list of safe people and supports in your phone and in your emergency bag.
• Tap into charitable supports if you need to.
• The most expensive gift is not necessarily the best. Try to give something to your children which will mean something to them.

 

I hope that this interview keeps the Christmas spirit ignited and that you have peace and joy throughout the holiday season!

CAUTION: If you feel unsafe at any time please STOP LISTENING. You can come back anytime you are in a safe place to listen to the rest of the Podcast. YOUR SAFETY is the most important thing to consider.

If you are in immediate DANGER call the Police.

NOTE OF ENCOURAGEMENT: If you are struggling with your metal health please reach out for support with some form of counselling, therapy, or coaching.  If you don’t know where to start to find a counsellor, a good place to start is to talk to your Doctor. There are also many online counselling supports now available. If the Support Person is not a good fit for you, try another and another, until you have one that is the right fit for you. And don't forget, I help women to heal and grow, and help them to meet their challenges head on, to move towards a life they love.
