Do You Suffer from High Functioning Depression?
..........
Are you a creative and productive woman that struggles with anxiety and depression behind the scenes? Do you feel even more depressed when you are not working, giving, doing and creating? Do you hold yourself to the highest standard of perfection and achievement, as a way to stave off emotional discomfort, sadness, fear or anger?
You do not need to live and work with an ongoing undercurrent of anxiety and depression that hides unhealed shame, guilt, grief, fear or anger. This is your emotional shadow longing to be acknowledged, understood, loved and transformed into your finest gifts and talents, so that you can live at a higher frequency of freedom and joy.
If you are feeling repressed, depressed and accumulated with unprocessed emotions, I offer insightful self-expression practices to help you to release discordant emotional energies on a daily basis. When you make a small effort to express your emotional truth every day, your depression will lift, and you will become the amazing intuitive life creator that you are meant to be!
