Is someone you care about suffering from depression? Here are some tips:
1. Don't try to be strong by using phrases like "pull yourself up by your bootstraps and be tough." Watch what you say despite your good intentions because you will tend to say the wrong thing many times and be discouraging.
2. Don't get so involved and frustrated by your friend's seeming lack of optimism and confidence that you wind up arguing with your friend--especially about what to do or not do.
3. Do not join your depressed friend in depression--remember that depression is contagious and that your friend's feelings are not your feelings.
Most importantly, encourage them to get help. Marigold Whole Life Centre offers a FREE 20 min consultation. If they are open to it, help make an appointment or even offer to go along. Visit http://qoo.ly/qbtq5 for more information.

When you look in the mirror what do you see? Recognizing yourself is more than just identifying the face in the mirror as your own. The concept of self is related to a number of ideas that include mind and consciousness. If we desire personal growth and maturation, then we must be willing to go deeper than surface level, we must be willing to know and face our inner being. Are you ready to take the plunge below the surface? Visit http://qoo.ly/p2yry to book a FREE 20 minute consultation.

Trauma is much more pervasive in our modern world than we once thought. For a long time, trauma was associated with the diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and this diagnosis was often reserved for military. Although this association is very important, we are now realizing that the experience of trauma is just as complex, varied, and unique as the complexity and uniqueness of each human being. Are you suffering from the effects of losing a loved one, physical violence, an accident? Visit http://qoo.ly/q42gk to learn how we can help guide you back to a sense of wholeness—both in yourself and in those important relationships in your life.
