‘Christmas is a real trigger for people’

Holistic Counsellor Noni Boon, who helps people deal with grief, told Yahoo News Australia hardship at Christmas time could include anything from a person close to you dying, to losing a job or suffering a relationship breakdown.

I had no idea that ‘every significant change’ in life is a ‘grief’ experience – until I studied holistic counselling. I always wondered why I ‘laughed’ and ‘cried’ on my wedding night and why all the joys in my life also brought some sadness. Last week I had a chat with Jo Abi from 9Honey about ‘grief’ – something we all go through every day, whether it’s changing jobs, moving house, starting a business, ending a relationship, having a baby, or even getting married.
