There are three lies depression tells you every day and if you struggle with depression,

you know it can be cruel, it can be convincing and it can be relentless.

Depression is such a difficult thing to manage and we are here today to overcome this and get

steps towards overcoming it. What if I told you that many of the thoughts you believe every

single day, especially the ones that feel the heaviest, aren't true at all? Today you will. We've got three main agendas. Number one is you will learn

the three lies depression tells you. You will not just learn, but you will practice the specific

tools that will help you stop believing these lies. And then finally, you will learn the three components of depression

treatment that will protect you from depression taking you down. So let's get into it.

Welcome. This is your anxiety toolkit. This is a podcast where I share proven practical skills,

the exact skills that I use with my own one-on-one clients facing anxiety,

depression, and OCD. My name is Kimberly Quinlan. I am here to offer you weekly support,

a lot of self-compassion and real tools for your recovery. So just like any of the resources

we have at CBT school and here on Your

Anxiety Toolkit, we always start with self-compassion first always. I say it in every single

course that I make at CBT school. We say we start with self-compassion first always. We want to start

with this commitment to honoring

ourselves and respecting ourselves and saying, I am committing to treating myself kindly today.

I am committing to not beating myself up today. I am committed to doing the thing that is kind

towards myself.

And it is a commitment that we make.

Now, you will need to remember here that this is a baby step process.

I believe in baby steps.
