Here's How I Can Help You to Tame Your Black Dog
Introducing the Ditch the Black Dog Virtual Retreat
When you’re battling depression, finding effective support can feel impossible.
Maybe you've been waiting months for an appointment with a therapist, and you want to start helping yourself in the meantime.Â
Maybe you get an hour of therapy a week, with no additional support in between and you wish there was something you could do to help you get through to the next session.Â
If you've been lucky enough to access traditional therapy, maybe it hasn't worked the way you hoped. Or your allocated sessions ended just as you were starting to open up, leaving you feeling lost and alone.
Perhaps you clawed your way out of one dark episode of depression, only to find the black dog trying to creep back in and you want tools to help you stop it in its tracks.
Or have you received treatment in hospital and although you're not depressed anymore, you're struggling to put the pieces of your life back together by yourself?
Enough already!
It's time to end the cycle of suffering.
I created the Ditch the Black Dog Virtual Retreat as a solution to the problems I encountered when I needed help with depression.
Inside, I'll introduce you to the Gaian Path and you can choose how you want to follow it back to happiness.
Join the Ditch the Black Dog of Depression Virtual Retreat
I've included all the things I needed when I felt like my life wasn't worth waking up for, including practical support with societal and cultural causes of depression.
The Ditch the Black Dog Virtual Retreat is always open for you. It's there for you at the times your therapist isn't.
There's something helpful, no matter what you might be struggling with - sleep, work, money, love or rebuilding your life after the heartbreak of broken dreams.
You'll find support, practical tools and therapeutic experiences, combined with a generous sprinkle of Gaian Magick, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week - even at 4am when everything feels darkest.
Take a look - it might be exactly what you need to support you on your journey to rediscovering what makes you happy.
This is typically the space where most peopIe ask you to sign up for their newsletter.
But I know that when you're feeling depressed the last thing you need is loads of emails you'll never read clogging up your inbox.
Yes, you need tips, tools, and suggestions, but you also need to feel seen and heard by people who understand you.Â
This is my invitation to you to come join me in the Black Dog Café for a chat. All you have to do is bring yourself and your favourite drink!
The café is a little bit different than the typical online groups you might have seen before, and it's perfectly ok if you only want to lurk at first!
