This week I'm chatting with psychotherapist, TODAY Show contributor and author Niro Feliciano about so many things related to emotional health--during the holidays and beyond!

Niro wrote a new book, All is Calm-ish: How to Feel More Festive and Less Frantic During the Holidays, and while we talk all about heightened stress during the holiday season, we also hit on a ton of other topics.

We talk:

+ Raising middle schoolers

+ “Connection over correction”

+ Things to say to middle schoolers to reaffirm their confidence

+ How to not parent from your own wounds

+ What to do when you’re estranged with family during the holidays

+ How to figure out what to keep and what to drop during the holidays

+ Why not every behavior is gaslighting

+ Why not everyone you don’t like is a narcissist
