173 SelfWork: What's New with Perfectly Hidden Depression

Published: March 27, 2020, 5 a.m.

Just because I\u2019ve written a book about perfectly hidden depression (PHD) \xa0doesn\u2019t mean that I\u2019m through with learning about it. With each person that I\u2019ve heard from, or has joined my practice because of my writing about PHD, or from the podcast hosts that have been generous enough to have me on, I keep learning. My first podcast (Episode 003) on it was so long ago -- I hadn't even started the book but only had a book proposal done. So we\u2019ll take each of the ten traits of PHD and I\u2019ll let you in on some understanding I've gleaned since writing the book -- \xa0kind of \u201cwhat\u2019s new in perfectly hidden depression."

I'll use several different emails I've received from you from people who've identified with PHD - and try to answer their questions as well.

My new book entitled Perfectly Hidden Depression\xa0has arrived and you can order here! Its message is specifically for those with a struggle with strong perfectionism which acts to mask underlying emotional pain. But the many self-help techniques described can be used by everyone who chooses to begin to address emotions long hidden away that are clouding and sabotaging your current life.
