FYI: These natural remedies for depression typically do not have the side-effects of SSRIs or other anti-depressant medication. Also, they don't have the withdrawal effects that can come and require in some cases, very slow tapering, particularly when one has been on an SSRI for an extended period of time. Caveat: Please consult with your doctor before any use of supplements.

Because we internalize what has happened to us in the past, we carry it with us in the present. So, if we experienced the world as a dangerous place early in life, as adults, we have our guard up and feel anxious. If we received the message that we were not valued, we walk through life with low self-esteem, not believing that we are deserving. I help you unlearn these beliefs in therapy so that you can live a more fulfilled and joyful life.
