In this 45-minute workshop, Joan explores six common causes of depression. The teaching offers hope, understanding and a way through. You don't have to live with this 'black dog', it is possible to only experience sad feelings when it is appropriate to the situation. Depression encompasses a range of flat emotional states but is typically characterized by pervasive despair. At Living Wisdom, we help adults, teens, and children learn how to transform their minds into their friend through insight, reassurance and new strategies.
