Depression Through a Nervous System Lens (Part 1)

This is part 1 of a 3 episode mini series about depression.I mismanaged my depression for SO LONG because I didn’t understand it. I floundered in my healing because I was told things, by doctors and psychiatrists no less, “that this is just the way I am and would just have to manage it my whole life” or “depression was a chemical imbalance” and the only fix was a pill. Because I didn’t really understand what depression was and where it was rooted, I didn’t have any kind of clear roadmap towards healing. My goal today is to offer you education, an alternative lens, and a roadmap that made all the difference for me. In this episode we look at the difference between understanding depression through the chemical imbalance theory vs the polyvagal theory and the difference that can make. I want to help you understand depression in a new way that puts hope back into your healing.
