In this extended PTSDandBeyond podcast episode, Dr. Deb explores what it truly means to be the good in a world that feels overwhelming, stressful, and emotionally heavy for many people during this season. This is more than kindness. This is humanity in action. This is care. This is compassion with depth and intention.   Together we unpack how the holidays activate our nervous systems, old memories, grief, pressures, and expectations. Dr. Deb shares global stories of people choosing goodness in ways that transform moments and remind us that humanity still exists. We talk about supporting someone who is hurting, supporting ourselves when we are hurting, and finding meaning through small acts of presence.   Inside this #PTSDandBeyond episode we will find • An exploration of being the good for yourself and for others • Research on stress, trauma responses, and collective care • Global stories of kindness, courage, and quiet human goodness • A trauma informed reflection on fierce compassion • A simple but powerful game you can play with family, friends, or coworkers to reconnect • Deep reflective questions to carry into the season   This episode invites listeners to rediscover hope through action, intention, and connection. It is a reminder that we heal together and that every act of care creates ripples that reach farther than we may ever know.    💖 If This Episode Resonated Listen, subscribe, and share PTSD and Beyond® with someone who might need this message today.
