This Powerful, Unpredictable Tool Has Ended Many Of My Depressive Episodes

from The Psychology of Depression and Anxiety - Dr. Scott Eilers · host Scott Eilers

Depression often feels like numbness—not joy vs. sadness, but a total loss of excitement. In this video, I share the surprising pattern that has ended several of my depressive episodes: finding a spark worth chasing. I walk through 8 real examples (from gaming and football to fragrances, barbecue, tools, watches, and gardening) and extract the active ingredient you can apply to your own life—even if your “spark” looks different than mine.MasterClass has great offers this holiday season.
