When you feel sad, empty and tired
Depression is so common that if you haven’t experienced it yourself, you most likely know someone who has. Depression is a lonely thing. Often, we don’t talk about it. But, in this workshop we will. We’ll talk about what it is, and how you can ‘plug in’ to life again if you experience it. And, how you can be there for someone who suffers from it.
Torben is a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with a special interest in the significance of relationships and spirituality in mental health. He loves having his nieces around and when they’re not there, he stays sane by cycling, running, and skiing. He became and stayed a believer, because he craves love and goodness, but can’t explain its existence without God. And, despite all his own suffering and others in this world, he clings to the hope and dream that one day everything will be love and goodness again, when God becomes all in all. Torben can’t really play music, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying his baby grand piano when no one is around.
