Holiday Series: Talking about the past with a family member during the holidays

1. Discussing your childhood memories with a sibling can be fun and nostalgic

2. It can also be a great way to get some closure on unresolved issues from the past

3. By sharing your stories, you'll learn more about each other and deepen your connection

4. Just make sure that you're both ready to have these conversations - they can sometimes be emotional

5. And remember, it's okay to disagree - just be respectful of each other's opinions

Hint: Stay emotionally regulated and do not get defensive or engage in the “one up” game, but if you do these steps can help:

1. Recognize when someone is trying to one up you

2. Don't engage in the one up game

3. Remain positive and upbeat, no matter what the other person says or does

4. Respectfully walk away if things get too heated
