Episode 1: Mindfulness Tools for Depression: Begin Where You Are: Centering Your Body

Depression can be expressed as feeling abnormally unhappy or sad for an extended period of time without completely understanding why. It can include eating and sleeping disturbances, loss of energy, and difficulty concentrating.

Depression is most noticed in our emotional self and the way we color our world. However, we do know that our thoughts and behaviors influence our emotions.

Mindfulness helps to become more aware of our thought processes and our automatic behaviors in order to understand the influence and control that we ourselves have over our emotions.

It is common for depression to run in families because we share the same genetic information but also because we share the same learned response patterns.

This podcast will help you become aware of your current thought, behavior, and emotional processes and to observe without judgment only to gain awareness and acceptance. Then learn new coping skills to move past unwanted thought and behavior patterns to begin to experience emotions in a healthier way.
