Wow, İ like when she said that... "Sometimes in life YOU are responsible for changing something, not because you are to BLAME but because you are the only person who CAN" ❤️

I appreciate that Lisa is actually teaching us for 2 hours. Many guests on this show are trying to sell us an idea/diet/lifestyle because Steven has a large platform. Lisa however is giving us the concrete information to learn and she's explaining it to us so we actually understand it. Thanks for the episode :) please bring more teachers on!!

I was diagnosed with clinical depression when I was 13 and put on medication. For the next 14 years I struggled with my depression and was consistently on antidepressants. It wasn’t until I had some repressed memories of abuse surface that sent me on a path of healing my trauma that I finally felt “cured” of my depression. I rewired my automatic brain systems telling me that I needed the depression to feel safe. I’ve been off antidepressants for 2 years now and have never felt better.

I can identify with your study. I started nursing school at age 38. I had a few rough jobs before nursing school, including driving a school bus for several years in what was considered the roughest route. I had had a rough childhood in and out of foster care related to my mother’s alcoholism and abusive relationships. By the time I enrolled in nursing school I thought I was a strong person who could deal with most anyone or anything. However, there was one instructor that intimidated me into a nervous mess when she would grill me with questions over and over concerning class lessons. I knew she knew she could intimidate me and she used it to her advantage. I was a good A student, yet her demeanor made me so nervous I couldn’t think to give correct answers. I got a stomach ache as soon as I entered her classroom. I was ready to quit nursing school. Consequently, I decided I needed to seriously think about my reactions to this instructor. I thought and thought and then it hit me! This woman reminded me of my alcoholic bipolar mother that had created a feeling of anxiety and powerlessness in my life. Once I understood this I had something to work with in my reaction to this instructor. I feel as if the Universe gave me an opportunity to face these feelings that I had stuffed down as a child and learn to use my inner strength to overcome, not only my past fears, but standing up to ones in my present .

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don’t feel alone anymore. What really helped me start overcoming the pain and actually move toward my goals was reading Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers, it opened my eyes in ways I didn’t expect. Always remember, don’t be depressed about the past, don’t worry about the future, and just focus on today. ❤

I grew up with bipolar violent alcoholic father and depressed neurotic controling mother. I was codependent and scared. I struggled 12 years with ptsd and addiction until i found psychologist who I said everything and he cared, he reacted. Like secrets, toxic shame. I was hiding family secrets for 43 years. Started self- parenting and self care cause my body was just giving up. If you struggle - you are not alone. Its darkest before sunrise.
