b'Hi friends!! Apologies for the lag in postings\\u2026I have had some super intense hours as of late. But it will lighten up very soon. This is an episode all about the deeper and perhaps more logical causes of depression and anxiety. It\\u2019s inspired by a book I just read \\u2013 which is BRILLIANT. Link at the bottom of the notes. Here\\u2019s the gist: Depression and anxiety are both forms of disconnection. We are cut off from things we need as humans \\u2013 they are basic needs that we don\\u2019t realize we have. Because we live in the bubble of culture! You don\\u2019t realize how much that culture affects your world view and your habits; the thoughts and feelings you about yourself. If you want to do an experiment to see how conditioned you are by the various facets of culture, I invite you to watch a movie from 10 years ago. We don\\u2019t realize the messages we are receiving all the time and the power of those messages. A lot of our cultural depression is a literal mourning of consistent life experiences that we are meant to have\\u2013 things that are vital to our baseline as humans. These needs aren\\u2019t being properly recognized, addressed, and or processed. I think \\u2013 because a lot of people don\\u2019t know how REAL and NECESSARY they are! Back in the day, life was kind of set up around these basic needs \\u2013 we had smaller villages where everyone had a role, and you were close to your family. Community networks kind of sustained everyone in these really core human needs. The isolation that we now experience \\u2013 paired with the focus on external possessions really keeps us all in a state of chasing. So if you are struggling with a sense of chronic emptiness and you cannot see a logical cause, this episode is for you. And more importantly \\u2013 this book is for you \\u2013 it\\u2019s called \\u201cLost Connections.\\u201d https://amzn.to/2SxK4WM For more of my work, to send comments, or make a donation, head to YayWithMe.com \\u2013 and as with all my episodes \\u2013 take what helps and leave the rest!!
