In the 16th episode, Dr. Knabb discusses sadness, including the continuum from temporary sadness to recurrent depression. Specifically, the secular clinical psychology literature is explored, including newer insights into depression from mindfulness-based therapies. In addition, a Christian view of sadness and depression is offered, before concluding with a 10-minute practice to help Christians practice God's presence in the midst of sadness in order to shift from "doing" to "being."
