Navigating Life Beyond Medications: A Spiritual Journey Post Antidepressants & Vyvanse | Episode 24

Today we’re diving into a vulnerable, and important topic. It’s been over 2.5 years since I made the decision to get off pharmaceutical medications… after over 10 years of using them to support me through some extremely difficult times. In today’s episode we touch on a sensitive topic - what in your life are you holding onto, that is actually holding you back from your healing journey? What is on the other side of some of our biggest fears?My journey of getting off medications (both antidepressants and vyvanse), is when my true healing began. What I had been avoiding and suppressing, was actually what set me free. A deeper connection to my emotions, which led to awareness of patterns and beliefs I had been holding onto. A deep spiritual journey reconnecting back to my heart and intuition was revealed one step at a time.Please note, this is not medical advice - simply a perspective from someone who has dedicated her time and healing, to understand what is on the other side of what feels like a lifeline. I hope this reaches those who feel hopeless, or curious, about what might be on the other side of getting off of medications __________________________________Key Moments:A part of my story- how depression and the support of antidepressants shaped my life in my 20’s, creating an external “success” - but internal unhappiness Are you focused on external outcomes, or your internal world? What is driving your path and decisions?Taking a look in the mirror - What are you using in your life to avoid your next level of growth? What have you been resisting, or might not want to admit? Lessons post- medicationsAbility to feel: My life style + medications caused me to avoid feeling emotions for 10+ years I was afraid to go to the depths, but also acknowledge that medications numbed my ability to go too high or low. The exploration of our depths is what allows us to create a space to meet, and release past trauma and emotions… and until I could feel those parts - I almost remained stuck at a certain level of emotional awareness Emotional “purging” on our journeyThe beauty in Heartbreak, and the journey of returning home to selfA deeper level of healingIt was only when I started to feel that I could begin to slow down and truly get to know myself.
