Boss of My Feelings

8 Essentials to Overcome Depression or Anything Keeping You from Being Happy

By: Dania Vanessa Illescas

Narrated by: Madeline Star

Depression is a struggle that most of us will face in our lifetime, especially those who face trauma and heartache. While popular culture and medical practices rely on pills to "heal" sufferers, Dania Vanessa suggests a different path, a proactive method for sufferers to help them better understand and potentially heal themselves.

In Boss of My Feelings, Dania shares her experience with healing from mental illness and depression using real science and holistic emotional healing methods. She tackles some of the myths surrounding depression and offers guidance to cope with emotional pain and encouragement based on 10 long years of study and self-improvement. Her goal is to empower you to have go-to skills that are hands-on when you are feeling distressed.

This book is for anyone who suffers from depression, who may know someone with going through emotional pain, or who would like to strengthen their emotional resilience.

Some of the themes explored in Boss of My Feelings are:

"...dealing with mental illness is much more than simply taking pills."

"The road to recovery is not a straight line, not in mental health, not in anything."

"No one is truly beyond the point of recovery, and depression never needs to become part of who you are. You are not doomed to suffer forever, and you certainly don't need to suffer even another minute. Yes, it will take a lot of time, patience, and effort, but if you're willing to put in those elements, it is entirely within reach."

"Recovery is a lifelong commitment that you choose every day."

"...no one ever fails, they only learn."

"Reaching an emotional balance it is not a one-solution-fits-all. It is a journey you have to explore and go for - all in."
