There are times when a patient may internalize painful judgments and stereotypes from the world, and they might not even realize they’ve done it.

And when that patient is struggling with depression, addressing this toxic messaging can be a critical step in healing.

She’ll also share her approach for helping patients identify and examine any painful stereotypes they may have internalized.
