Reducing Drama in Your Relationships - Kathi Lipp and Cheri Gregory Part 1

When you feel overwhelmed by others this holiday season there are things you can do to find hope. On this two day Focus on the Family broadcast, Jim Daly & John Fuller talk with Kathi Lipp and Cheri Gregory over their book, Overwhelmed about how to quiet the chaos and find peace. You can find their book on our store here: bit.ly/2QJUfpz
They share what being overwhelmed by others feels like, how we can “pre-decide” and set boundaries before we interact with family, how to practice self-care, and how to deal with “crisis creators.” They also share how to determine if something is a “big deal” or a “deal breaker.” A final reminder is given that with God’s help you can find peace at the holidays and throughout the year.

Really interesting discussion and I don't even have enough family still living or living close enough for gatherings. There are ideas here that can be used in areas of life other than the holidays. Thank you, Kathi and Cheryl!

I sooo agree with limiting your time with those people whom you want to love better but they make it as difficult as possible. We now stay in a hotel and we all get along SOOO MUCH BETTER!! No one person is cooking every meal and we all get a break just like she said.

Thank you for this. I have been struggling with this for quite awhile. ❤️

Oh my goodness Kathi----- Your word about being "vulnerable" and sharing your weakness with someone in order to connect---- I "totally" get that---I do that all the time and when you said you need to "listen" that spoke to me directly! Thank you for that word!

Oh, this is all SO COOL!!! Now, Cheri Gregory-- Do you HAVE (yet!) a book JUST for us HSPs???

I would have liked to hear from both women. I felt like it was geared towards Kathi. She did have amazingly great things that can help. But i think we can benefit from both equally, just the same....

I hear you regarding the ‘in laws’

Maybe make an audiobook for people who are too busy to read as well would be helpful.
