Today on Joy Hour, Tom Lyman sits down with Tristan Helm—mental health coach, national best-selling author, and international speaker—to talk about anxiety, trauma, and what it looks like to move forward when you feel stuck.
Tristan’s work is shaped by his own story and by years of study around PTSD, anxiety, and how the brain responds to stress. In this episode, he breaks down a practical framework for navigating overwhelm: recognizing the difference between perception and reality, pausing instead of reacting, and taking control over what you can control.
Tom and Tristan also discuss the pressure to “wear a mask,” the impact of screen time and instant gratification on the mind, and the power of steady habits like exercise, journaling, and Scripture. They touch on shame vs. conviction, accountability, and why real healing requires honesty.
If you’ve been carrying stress quietly, living in your head, or wondering what “getting better” actually looks like, this conversation is for you.
