Feeling Better: Beat Depression and Improve Your Relationships with Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Show Guest: Cindy Stulberg

For years, the first line of defense for depression has been pharmaceuticals, but in Feeling Better: Beat Depression and Improve Your Relationships with Interpersonal Psychotherapy, psychologists and authors Cindy Goodman Stulberg and Ronald J. Frey, PhD, say that it is actually our relationships that offer the most effective path to healing.

Knowing that depression is an illness as legitimate as any physical ailment, Feeling Better helps readers get clarity around the four main areas in life that can be contributing factors to why people feel sad, blue, down, and depressed: life transitions, complicated grief, interpersonal conflict, or social isolation. By finding clarity about these aspects of their lives, they can go on to make the changes they need to feel better. The book also helps readers improve their existing relationships and develop the skills they need to make new connections that are meaningful and supportive.
