After treating countless people with depression, it became clear to me that depression is a symptom. It’s a response.

When we’re in an abusive relationship, struggle make ends meet, when we have unresolved childhood trauma, when our work environment is dysfunctional— of course depression will exist. When we lose someone, have a crisis, or are in a grief state or course depression will exist.

Our body will go into a freeze state. We will be in survival mode. We’re not meant to be ok when we’re in environments that unhealthy. This is how our body speaks to us.

A few added things for clarity:

1. I support the use of anti-depressants. In my experience they help *a lot* for some people and not at all for others. Each person is different.

2. There is nothing wrong with you as a person if you have depression symptoms.

3. Nutrition and movement are very important, but (again) if the environment you’re in on a regular basis feels like a threat, the body can still go into freeze/depression states.

4. We are spiritual beings. We have spiritual needs to: connect, belong, provide value, and find meaning in life. We will not thrive if we’re expect to be emotionless productivity machines.

5. Sadness, times of grief, or just feeling down are a *natural* part of the human experience. Periods of wanting to sleep a lot, to go inwards, and to spend time alone are a *natural* part of the cyclical nature of life.

Hi All,

I know that it has been some time since I have been active on this page. Let's just say that I have been on a journey of experiences which has truly made me question everything - my family, friendships, relationships, even myself! ...

As such, I have had to prioritise where I have been dedicating my time, together with my self-healing, so as to ensure that I could be best effective when supporting others too.

I also confirm that I will be continuing with the non-profit counselling charity and fundraising retreat soon ... and in the meantime, I have decided to establish a closed group, so that tips and informative and helpful information can be best targeted, and so please messenger me via Soul to Souls if you would like to be considered a part of it. With many thanks - Soul to Souls ...

I wish to show my belated International women's day respect to those women amongst us who are courageous enough to stand by their own convictions; those who stay steadfast in their own truth; whilst being strong enough to call out wrongdoing; and when able, to also do the necessary inner work and healing to try and support other women with authentic and true compassion, understanding, empathy and good grace, together with championing other women's amazing characteristics whenever they see them.

Fellow perceptive and alive with feeling thinkers.

Those who have experienced some of life’s challenges that most could not comprehend, let alone still manage to continue to live and to love whole heartedly.

With those dark places that you sometimes visit being painful I know, but … your continuance to resurface despite it all and to rediscover your light, will light the way for others too.

Even when it feels like you are lost, or in (‘deep rest’ - depressed) and feel numb to your very core. Please, please trust and remember that your inner warrior will once again resurface (you’re just mid-conquer).

You truly are amazing, such a rarity, and one that we ‘all’ need - and just as you are. Soul to Souls
