I have a piece of advice for you: get outside when you can, and when you are inside your house, sit in the sun when you can.  Soak up those rays.  The Vitamin D will do you good, and the natural lumens will help you fight off that pesky inclination toward a mild depressive dullness that we who live toward the north are more prone to.  If those simple interventions don’t do the trick, give us a call and come see one of our therapists.  A little talk therapy and some helpful counsel might be just the ‘medicine’ you need to feel better.

And when you get a little stir crazy from being shut up in your home with your partner, and you and your mate are at odds with each other, give us a call.  We can help you work out those pesky relational problems that may be exacerbated by winter’s wily ways.

December 21 is the shortest day of the year.  After that the days again gradually become longer.  Considered naturally, Christmas is the time we celebrate the return of the “sun.”  Considered supernaturally, Christmas is the time we celebrate the coming of the “Son.”  In either case, it’s all good! 

The team at Sioux Falls Psychological Services hopes you experience an uncommonly good holiday season.
