On this show, I’m talking to Ros Kitson who is sharing her experience with depression. Ros had struggled with depression for years but has managed to overcome it for good, and is sharing the details of this transformational process. Of course, we know there is no single cause of depression. In fact, the list of possible triggers and contributing factors is long, including traumatic experiences, chronic stress, poor nutrition, alcohol and drug abuse, and so on. The latest research is pointing towards the inflammation in the brain, and also towards a link between depression and gut function. At the same time, we are all different and respond to different things. So this episode is not about going into the “ins and outs” of depression. It is about sending a message that there is so much available out there, and we should always persevere with our search knowing that something or somebody out there will be able to help us. I’ve previously heard from clients that depression runs in their family, so they are not going to be able to shift it. But that’s only a limiting belief, nothing else. We know we can alter our gene expression, and besides just because we may have a genetic predisposition to something does not mean we’re destined to have that problem. Once those limiting beliefs and fears are dealt with, and possible biochemical imbalances are corrected, the person can go from strength to strength. I’ve seen it happen lots of times. Ros confirms that.
