This is a book to read over and over for validation.

Kathy Oddenino's book, "Depression, Our Normal Transitional Emotions," validated for me what I've been experiencing off and on for years. Me depressed? Of course not! Wow, what an eye-opener to realize that I had been!Kathy explains in simple, easy-to-understand language, what is going on on a global as well as personal basis with depression and relates how it is part of the evolution of our soul and spirit. It made me feel much better about myself, less judgmental, and more unconditionally loving of myself so that I could learn my way through my depression. This is a book truly worth reading over and over in order to get whatever you may have missed before! Thanks so much, Kathy, for the love that guided you to write this book.

a 'must read' for therapists

After many years of working with people and recognising that our emotions and our bodies are reflective of each other, I have finally found an author who expands on this. This book is the most uplifting book on the subject of depression. It is truly a delight to read. Kathy takes us through the different levels of depression, from unhappiness through to hopelessness so gently that we feel te truth when she says, "No one escapes depression, not a single, solitary person, because depression is the begining of our awakening to a higher level of consciousness." Not only are the symptoms of depression explained but the reason for them are also outlined in a clear and decisive manner. This is followed by a wonderful chapter on the healing of depression and the acceptance of change. This body of teachings by Oddenino gives us tools to expand our consciousness levels, thereby allowing us to be more effective in our interaction with others. This is a 'must read' book for anyone working as a therapist of mind and of body.

answered a lot of questions and gave direction.

What a wonderful book! I have read this 5 times and it has been a completely different book with each reading. The author guides the reader to examine behaviours,thoughts and emotions and to relate them to experiences so gentley that it left this reader with a sense of excitment to discover and understand more. This is a must read for anyone working as a therapist and it would be a great help for massage therapists in helping them understand the energy fields produced by the mind and the emotions.

Answers questions I have had my whole life.

Depression: Our Normal Transitional Emotions is Kathy Oddenino's sixth book. I have read all six--all more than once, which is rare in my long history of book-reading. When I read Depression I felt more and more excited as I progressed through the book. I began to understand the accumulation of emotions and feelings within my life just as I felt my excitement growing as I read. The author defines the soul and explains in language I felt within my heart, just as clearly as I saw the words on the page, the transition of our emotions from fear to love as we evolve as a consciousness. I have read a lot of books in my 35 years, and until now I have never found one which defines the soul and spirit and spirituality in a logical, sensory way which excites me as I relate the knowledge to my life. When I read in Kathy's dedication, "this book is dedicated to the millions of people who innocently suffer the emotional and mental pains of unhappiness, sadness, and depression without knowing why," I know I am only one of those millions. Are you? Read this book.
