How Depression Affects Your Body, Mind, and Relationships: Insights from Dr. Snipes

Everything's about moderation and balance. Cortisol is our stress hormone and it, like testosterone, is made in the adrenal glands and helps the body adapt to stress by increasing heart rate, respiration and blood pressure.
Feeling weighed down by depression? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes breaks down how depression impacts every part of your life. She explains the neurochemical shifts that lead to feelings of sadness and how these changes can affect your physical health. Ever wondered why your body feels heavy or tense when you're depressed? Dr. Snipes covers that too, discussing the role of cortisol in stress and how it can manifest physically. She doesn't stop there.
With practical advice on relaxation techniques like progressive muscular relaxation and mindfulness, she offers tools to help you become more aware of and release muscle tension. The episode also dives into common emotional struggles like guilt, jealousy, and grief, offering cognitive strategies to tackle these feelings head-on. Dr. Snipes wraps up with practical counseling tools and the latest research on depression, providing actionable steps to improve your relationships and attachment styles.
Whether you're dealing with depression yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights and coping strategies.
