Welcome to today’s show!
In today’s solo episode, I’m sharing a book that has helped me to better understand Depression-especially male depression. In the show, outline 5 takeaways from the book.
WHAT WE’LL LEARN
- Here is what I want to spend time highlighting as if we were sitting together having an iced decaf mocha!
- How you can pass depression on from parent to child like a chain of pain
- For men, pain is something you should rise above and when we “fail” that is when the shame comes out
- The difference between overt vs. covert depression
- How depression leads to numbing the pain with behaviors & addictions
- Gender differences in how one handles depression
- The story of David
- Autobiographical thread throughout the book is riveting and raw especially how Terry Real turned his life around by breaking his own toxic legacy
