At 13 years old, Sarah began experiencing depression, and within a few years was using marijuana daily to cope. As she approached her current age of 20, she also started to experience body dysmorphia and the cycle of shame, guilt and depression that goes along with it. Sarah’s parents signed her and her sisters up for the Malta Advanced Week Long Retreat, and to prepare for the retreat, Sarah began practicing Dr. Joe’s meditations and she stopped taking marijuana. Through this time, and during the Retreat, Sarah dealt with the discomfort of releasing suppressed emotions…but the relief and freedom was worth it.
