Here’s the plan
Three ways to start walking — no pressure to do all three at once.
Start with free ebooks and courses
Sign up for the email newsletter. You’ll get ebooks and courses on depression, recovery, spiritual exercises, helping others, plus one fresh piece of Soul Talk content every week.
Seek and you will find
Type a topic in the search bar, click the tags at the end of any post, or choose one of the seven topic buttons above. Or contact me and ask a question — I respond to every email.
Give a little back
If you find what I’ve created helpful, consider giving a little gift. This website relies on people like you.

Barry Pearman has been a mental health support worker, chaplain, and pastor for almost 30 years, and someone who’s walked through depression himself.
