Those may be trauma responses, and they are happening to you because of what may have been done to you and not because you were broken or that you're a bad person.
Holidays can be tough, especially if you're a Queer Christian. In this episode of 'This Little Light of Mine', James Powell shares heartfelt advice to help navigate the season with grace and self-care. He talks about the pressure to fit into traditional family roles and the loneliness that can feel even more intense during this time. But James isn't here to dwell on the negative. Instead, he offers practical tips to prioritize your mental and emotional well-being.
James opens up about his own experiences, reflecting on how the festive season often felt like a reminder of what he was told he couldn't be. Those picture-perfect Hallmark moments? They weren't his reality, and he knows many others feel the same. This episode is all about reclaiming the holidays in a way that feels right for you. James emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries.
It's okay to say no to gatherings that drain you or to create new traditions that bring you joy. He also discusses recognizing trauma responses and understanding that they aren't signs of personal failure. Healing from past hurts is a journey, and it's crucial to give yourself the space and grace to do so. If you're looking for ways to make this holiday season a bit brighter and more authentic to who you are, this episode is a must-listen.
James's compassionate advice is like a warm hug, reminding you that it's okay to prioritize yourself. Tune in and discover how to find your own version of holiday joy.
