How to Survive Your Childhood Now That You’re an Adult: A Path to Authenticity and Awakening

By Ira Israel, LCPC, LMFT. (2017)

From Amazon.com: “As children, we learned to get approval by creating facades to help us get our emotional and psychological needs met, but we also rebelled against authority as a way of individuating. As adults, these conflicting desires leave many of us feeling anxious or depressed because our authentic selves are buried deep beneath glitzy or rebellious exteriors or some combination thereof. In this provocative book, eclectic teacher and therapist Ira Israel offers a powerful, comprehensive, step-by-step path to recognizing the ways of being that we created as children and transcending them with compassion and acceptance. By doing so, we discover our true callings and cultivate the authentic love we were born deserving.”

Depression is an Illness, Not a Weakness

Dr. Tracey Marks

Major depression is an illness and not a weakness or failure. This video shows you how depression develops in the brain. I also talk about how long depression lasts. Depression is more than sadness or a temporary funk. Since it’s beyond your control, you can’t simply stop being depressed. I discuss the kindling effect and how it can make your depression worse. I also discuss depression statistics in the United States. According to the last statistics, recovery from depression typically begins within 3 months of onset for two in five individuals with major depression and within 1 year for four in five individuals. 40% of people start to recover within 3 months of the onset of symptoms. 80% within a year The length of a depressive episode is in the range of 5–6 months, with approximately 20% of episodes becoming chronic (i.e., lasting beyond 2 years). Estimates of recurrence range from ~ 50% within the first year to up to 85% during a lifetime. I upload every Wednesday at 9am, and sometimes have extra videos in between.
