Bonus Episode: Depression will talk. You don’t have to listen. (And other lessons I’ve learned about depression.)

This is where the subhead goes where we talk about how you need to do your research and two other things

I put together this episode after the suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. The loss of both of these talented, successfully, beloved people in one week was tragic. A few days after it happened, I read two great stories that talked about how important it is to tell our stories about getting through depression. When the news media focuses on a suicide and how it happens, it can lead to contagion. But when people tell their personal stories of getting through depression or suicidal thoughts or attempts, it helps people in the midst of a crisis see that they can survive. In that spirit, I offer up the things I’ve learned from surviving depression, as well as how I got through it. I hope it helps you or someone you love. I’m posting links to the two articles mentioned on the shownotes page, which you can find here: yogalandpodcast.com/bonusepisode Subscribe via: iTunes | Acast | RSS
