230: Cutting Through Depression
From the outside \u2014 and to herself \u2014 Tonya looked like she had it all together...until one day, all the \u201cspinning plates\u201d fell and she collapsed. That moment led Tonya to a therapist\u2019s office where she was diagnosed with depression and anxiety that had been simmering under the surface unnoticed for years. She found herself battling suicidal thoughts with stress manifesting in her body in many different ways.
Determined to not let it be the end of her story, Tonya began searching for a quick way to transform her depression on her own. She prayed for a \u201cknife\u201d that could quickly cut through her depression and was led to The Adult Chair podcast, which allowed her to completely transform in a matter of months. In this episode, Tonya shares her inspirational story of how she used the tools in The Adult Chair to completely shift her outlook on life and get healthy FAST (and for free!).

\u201cThe Adult Chair was my knife to cut through layers and layers of trauma.\u201d - Tonya

\u201cOne of the biggest things is to be a story buster. Something happens and we interpret it negatively, and that leads to anxiety.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
\u201cAccepting it doesn\u2019t mean you like it or you\u2019re never wanting change. Acceptance releases us from pushing against.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant\xa0
\u201cThe same walls we use to protect our image are the same ones that imprison us in our pain.\u201d - Tonya
