Summary

Depression invites us to resist what's new and novel or different when exactly what we need to get out of depression is newness, novelty, and difference. In this week's episode we look at poetry through the lenses of 'from the wound' and from our healing to add to our healing tool belts. What if you could transform your depression into healing through creative outlets like poetry? We reveal how shifting focus from depressive experiences to nurturing positive emotions can build emotional resilience. We explore personal anecdotes, the role of creativity in emotional growth, and practical strategies for highly sensitive people seeking therapy and self-improvement. Join us for insights on balancing pain and healing, fostering self-worth, and unlocking the healing power of poetry.
