This testimonial is from a person who has experienced two medicine journeys with me.
So much has happened in my world since I began my first one-on-one with you and then my eventual journeys. I think that by ending my dependence on antidepressants I probably made some aspects of my growth a bit more challenging, in that depression apparently doesn't just disappear because I want it to. No worries, I am still in doing okay ...
I now recognize that some of what I felt was depression was likely just me fighting off the exiles that have been traveling with me for years, or at least learning to live with the fact that they are there, real or imagined.
This leads me into how I have managed my newer way of living. Yes, I still suffer from depression but I now have the ability to practice steps to deal without medication, with the exception of occasional micro-dose. The RAIN of Compassion really helps me a lot, and I'm certain that my practice of it has benefitted others close to me. — R.D.
