Treating depression and anxiety at a STAR retreat means you will have the time and attention from our staff to discover the underlying reasons for your distress. Anxiety and depression both capture our being. The trap of anxiety is the helpless overwhelming feeling of fear, and the fear of that feeling returning. Anxiety keeps people stuck in their in their relationships, lives, and jobs. Life becomes controlled and limited, unconsciously structured around an illusion of safety and the longing for safety. Depression traps a person differently, blanketing the mind and body with heaviness and despair, sucking out life’s energy. Depression is not something a person can “snap out of.”
Today, anxiety and depression are common in our society, taking a huge toll on the lives of millions of people. For many of those people, there is a way out—treating depression and/or anxiety at a STAR retreat will allow you a way to discover the core source of those feelings and bring about healing. Peace and a genuine joy in being alive can return to your life.
At a STAR retreat, we take the time to focus on each person, helping you discover the roots of your distress—upsetting events, challenging relationships, or detachment from a genuine sense of self or purpose. We help you find a path that will take you out of fear and darkness, and back on course with your life.
Insight, experience, skills, connections, and a good dose of inspiration come out of the work done at a STAR retreat. Get your life back. Come to STAR.
