- So helpful
This podcast has really helped give language to my experience. Having lived with depression for decades without realizing what it was, this podcast is a breath of fresh air. I really recommend it, and also really hope people who are in community with people with depression would listen as well to know how to companion well. Thank you for the podcast!

Apple Podcasts5Chuck C DonUnited States5 months ago - Got me through it
I am so very very thankful for this podcast. When I found about my husband’s affair 8 yrs ago, after 26 yrs of marriage I was destroyed. I sunk into extreme depression, anxiety and PTSD. Listening to episodes each night as I tried to fall asleep helped me feel calmer and not alone. I don’t know how I would have made it through without it. Thank you Terry. You made a difference in this woman’s life. You may have saved it.
