419 SelfWork: Questions About Depression, Therapy, and Manipulative Moms

Today I’m answering your questions about depression, therapy, and manipulative moms.

So, it’s a grab bag of topics! Whether you’re a SelfWork listener or you’ve read something I’ve written… somehow my work has reached you. And I love getting your questions!

More specifically, we’ll discuss what’s called anhedonia in depression, or losing the enjoyment or meaning in activities that you’ve always enjoyed. We’ll also touch on entering therapy for the first time or with a second therapist, how parents can manipulate and the impact it has on their adult children’s lives, and the difference between guilt and shame.

My book entitled Perfectly Hidden Depression is available 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.
