Happy Thanksgiving! Joy in the Midst of Suffering

Victorious Living Podcast, Crystal Ridlon, LPC

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I love how it brings family together. I especially, love how it is a time for us to pause and thank God for the blessings that he’s given. As, I sat with my family, and while we are personally walking through a difficult trial. I was reminded of the importance of learning to find joy in the midst of suffering. The holidays are wonderful, but tend to bring up a lot of unwanted emotions for many people, especially when you’re currently walking through a difficult time. In this podcast, I discuss how to find joy in the midst of suffering from a Biblical point of you. In addition, I share with the listeners what I would share with clients who are struggling during the holidays from a psychological and spiritual perspective. In today’s podcast I also speak about cognitive behavioral therapy, and how to use these techniques to overcome negative thoughts, anxiety, depression, trauma, and how to replace them with God’s truth and His love and purpose for you. Blessings & Happy Thanksgiving! Crystal Ridlon, LPC, LMHC
