Practical Tips to Overcome Anxiety Around the Holidays with Neuropsychologist Dr. Michelle Bengtson
The holidays are fast approaching, and while there is much to celebrate, there’s SO MUCH TO DO! It’s enough to cause more than a little bit of anxiety if we’re not careful.
In this episode, I welcome to the show Dr. Michelle Bengtson, a clinical neuropsychologist, who often refers to John 10:10 in her practice and public presentations:
“The thief only comes to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full.”
Don’t let the enemy get you down during “the most wonderful time of the year” 🙂
I hope this episode helps you to find a little bit of peace through all the stress and sometimes chaos!
