Psychology says people who can’t relax even on vacation aren’t bad at switching off; they were quietly taught as children that rest had to be earned

Though holidays are meant for unwinding, many individuals find it hard to switch off, as stress often tags along. Psychological insights indicate that early experiences, particularly conditional affection from caregivers, can hinder one's ability to relax fully. Consequently, there are adults who struggle to savor their free time. Studies suggest that these childhood dynamics can mold how adults approach leisure.
