A View of Depression For Highly Sensitive People

Jon Rasmussen, a shaman, observes that highly sensitive and empathetic people often experience a low-level depression or unhappiness stemming from their deep concern for the suffering of others. He argues that this form of depression, unlike clinical depression, is not necessarily pathological and shouldn't be viewed as a personal failing. Instead, it should be acknowledged and accepted, while finding joy in the moments of happiness that life offers.Support the showMore information and videos about Jon's work can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@JonRasmussen and https://thesoulalgorithm.com/sessions .
