Finding Hope in Turbulent Times
Episode 866
Sunday, 18 January, 2026
In times of uncertainty, stress, and ongoing change, hope can feel fragile, distant, or even unavailable. This episode of PTSD and Beyond explores how hope functions during turbulent times, how hope can become hopeless, how hope can return, and how mindfulness and connection support that process. This conversation is grounded in trauma informed psychology, lived experience, and nervous system awareness. Rather than forcing positivity or offering quick fixes, this episode invites a compassionate, human exploration of hope as a capacity that ebbs and flows depending on safety, connection, and meaning. In this episode, we explore • What hope really means and what it is not • How hope shifts into hopelessness and why that happens • How hopelessness can be a protective response rather than a failure • Where we go and what we do when hope feels distant • How hope returns through safety, connection, and agency • The role of community in sustaining hope • How mindfulness supports nervous system regulation and restores possibility • Why self compassion matters when navigating uncertainty This episode includes a brief, optional mindfulness practice and reflective questions designed to support awareness, integration, and self trust. If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It is available 24/7 and free and confidential.
