from Practical Solutions for PTSD | Anxiety Symptoms, Seasonal Depression, Isolation, Stress, Guilt, Loneliness · host Lori Owens - Master Resilience Training, Positive Psychology Instructor
This Christmas, a small, imperfect tree became an unexpected teacher. In this episode, we explore what a twice-rejected Christmas tree can reveal about belonging, purpose, and hope. For anyone struggling with anxiety symptoms, depression, isolation, loneliness, or guilt, this gentle Christmas reflection offers reassurance that you are not broken or forgotten. Just as the greatest gift entered the world quietly, in a stable rather than a palace, healing often begins in humble places. Through a cozy, hygge-inspired story and a faith-centered message, this episode invites you to stop striving, release the weight of guilt, and discover the comfort of being exactly who you were created to be. If the holidays amplify anxiety, deepen loneliness, or stir feelings of isolation or depression, this episode offers warmth, perspective, and hope found in Christ, the greatest gift of all.
