Although the most widespread treatment for depression today is the use of antidepressants, mindfulness and self-compassion techniques can be equally potent for releasing natural antidepressants in the brain. In this workshop, we’ll explore how the latest neuroscience research can illuminate our approach with depressed clients, especially the discovery of the parallels between the effects of trauma and depression on the brain.
