Just because I’ve written a book about perfectly hidden depression (PHD) doesn’t mean that I’m through with learning about it. With each person that I’ve heard from, or has joined my practice because of my writing about PHD, or from the podcast hosts that have been generous enough to have me on, I keep learning. My first podcast (Episode 003) on it was so long ago — I hadn’t even started the book but only had a book proposal done. So we’ll take each of the ten traits of PHD and I’ll let you know in on some understanding I’ve gleaned since writing the book — kind of “what’s new in perfectly hidden depression.”
I’ll use several different emails I’ve received from you from people who’ve identified with PHD – and try to answer their questions as well.

My new book entitled Perfectly Hidden Depression has arrived and you can order here! Its message is specifically for those with a struggle with strong perfectionism which acts to mask underlying emotional pain. But the many self-help techniques described can be used by everyone who chooses to begin to address emotions long hidden away that are clouding and sabotaging your current life.
And there’s a new way to send me a message! You can record by clicking below and ask your question or make a comment. You’ll have 90 seconds to do so and that time goes quickly.
