This is self-work and I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford.

At self-work, we'll discuss psychological and emotional issues common in today's world

and what to do about them.

I'm Dr. Margaret and self-work is a podcast dedicated to you taking just a few minutes today for your own self-work.

Hello and welcome or welcome back to self-work. As promised, we're going to be talking about

perfectly hidden depression today. I've had several episodes on it and it's definitely

the most popular of my podcast.

In fact, thousands of you have listened in.

Just to let you know a little bit about me, I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford, I'm a clinical psychologist

out of Fayyeville, Arkansas.

I've been in practice now. It's 2018. I've been in practice for 25 years.

And I love what I do and I decided when I started podcasting last year that I wanted to expand the walls of my practice to include people who weren't sitting in front of me on the sofa or at a chair. It's not always a sofa.

Maybe people who are already interested in therapy perhaps seeing

a psychologist or a mental health practitioner, but also to people who might never have even

thought about it but are curious about what someone like me

might have to say. Today again we're talking about something I'm very passionate about,

perfectly hidden depression and I have some great news that I want to share with

you but I probably can't do it till another couple of podcast episodes because

there's no signature on the dotted line quite as of yet, but something that I'm extremely grateful for and honored by has happened.

And you'll be the first to know as soon as I can talk about it.

If you identify today with perfectly hidden depression, I'd love to hear from you.
