Depression is often talked about from a biological, psychological and pathological perspective. However, there are deeper levels or more subtle layers of depression that usually remain undiscovered. Depth psychology helps us to dig deeper into the underlying, deeper causes of depression. This framework doesn’t just provide us with temporary reliefs or symptom palliation, but it will lead us to uncover the meaning and the purpose of our dark nights of the soul.  On this episode, we have explored depression from a soul-oriented perspective.
