He explored the origins of depression, ranging from chemical imbalances to past traumas, both in this life and beyond. Through his own journey, Kyle emphasized the importance of acknowledging and processing emotions, allowing individuals to "feel it to heal it" and ultimately move towards healing.
Drawing upon his extensive personal experiences and research, Kyle highlighted the wisdom that can be gleaned from depression, viewing it as a catalyst for profound inner transformation. His presentation resonated deeply with the audience, prompting introspection and reflection on their own paths towards healing and authenticity.
