OK folks I’m done pussy footing around, I’m having a little passionate tantrum here. Depression is fixable. Even what I call “situational depression” i.e. crappy external circumstances are causing you to feel overwhelmed with sadness and worry – THAT too is fixable. Even situational depression just vanishes when we understand what’s behind it.
That crushing burden of exhaustion and sadness – fixable
That grief that life isn’t worth living any more without them – fixable
That loneliness and isolation even in the midst of a crowd – fixable
That “holy shit people are so ugly in what they do” – fixable
That numbness and despair as if happiness couldn’t be a part of you ever again – freaking fixable.
That “what the hell we’re all going to get burned drowned or blown up anyway” – holy snapping turtles this one is fixable in a way that will blow your socks off.
Those suicidal thoughts that pop up every now and again – your inner guidance system screaming at you – also fixable and a WHOPPING BIG gift in there as well.
Blunt language alert.
Depression isn’t some bloody mysterious disease that you have to put up with and the drugs a magic pill that’ll make you feel better. Depression is your freaking inner guidance system screaming at you – it’s your GIFT. The same Inner Guidance system is the source of your happiness and joy.
It’s the same Inner Guidance system that I talk about with the five ways of feeling in this presentation. When these Inner Guidance systems have got jammed up, depression is like the emergency brake. If you haven’t seen this presentation before, then I call this “the best 10 minutes you’ll spend in your life”
I have worked with … god knows how many now – hundreds? of depressed people and every single one of them has found their way out of it with this work that we’re doing in this upcoming clinic (April 2022). I sat here writing this, thinking back to whether I could remember anyone that hadn’t benefited. And far out, I can’t think of one.
We’ve put support systems in place for this clinic for people who are suffering from depression, illness, PTSD, violence, trauma old or current and I ask about that in the first email of the clinic. If you have a loved one suffering, same deal – we have support systems.
You just have to be prepared to do your bit, because although we’ll support you, I’m not dragging you up the bloody hill.
If life is lacking in money at the moment (yes that too is bloody fixable!) then there are full and half scholarships available paid for by old students who are still part of this lovely community, who want to share what they got from this work. Email me if you need one. And email me if you want to add to the scholarship pot.
Our on-Line Clinic Starts Tuesday 5th April 2022
YOU get to pick what you want to work on in the clinic – if it’s depression – make it a bigger, more exciting goal than that, because the depression itself is a piece of cake. Yeah I know, those really big clinical depressions are a bitch, I’m not downplaying the dramatic effect on people’s lives. But still, depression itself is your Inner Guidance at work. So you may as well be working on some exciting feel good goal while you learn how to find the peacefulness and happiness and joy in your Inner Guidance system and fix that depression while you’re at it.
One of the things I do for people who are suffering from depression on this clinic is ask you if you’d like me to test up and score for PHYSICAL causes of depression so that you can attend to them. In the first happiness clinic, 18 out of 19 people who had reported depression and asked for that testing, had dramatic improvement from attending to those physical causes – and THEN they could attend to the mental and emotional causes heaps more easily.
I’ve removed the clinic details because this clinic is complete. Here’s some more articles about changing depression instead.
This article is a long one containing some valuable stuff around the PHYSICAL causes of depression – it’s quite a way down the page.
