The Spiritual Territory of Depression

Depression is explored as a spiritual experience within the context of a conversation between psychologist and poet Anita Barrows and host Christa Tippett. Barrows reflects on the significance of darkness and how it can lead to personal growth and soul development. She discusses her own experiences with depression and the connections she has made between her Jewish background, meditation, and other spiritual practices. The conversation also touches on the interplay between mind, body, and spirit in the experience of depression and the importance of connectedness and mutual support.
