114. Why Your Depression Isn't Going Away [The Spiritual Illness Beneath Mental Illness]

What if your depression isn’t just a chemical imbalance—but a spiritual illness that’s been ignored, suppressed, or misunderstood?

In episode 114 of The Soul Whisperer podcast, I uncover the deeper energetic causes of depression—like self-rejection, creative suppression, unspoken desires, and blocked chakras (especially the sacral, heart, and throat).

You’ll learn how empathic and intuitive people often carry pain that doesn’t belong to them, and why healing your soul is essential for lasting mental and emotional freedom.✨

Whether you're feeling uninspired, disconnected, or stuck in old patterns, this conversation is a call to reclaim your vitality, reconnect with purpose, and liberate your voice.

💡 I also share stories from my clients, insights from hypnotherapy, and how tools like shadow work and self-hypnosis can create deep and lasting change.
