Can someone with depression be helped?
Most definitely!
STEP 1: remember: You are a person with a condition called ‘depression'. You are not depressed
For a broken bone, you don't say; ‘I'm a broken bone'
In the case of a heart attack, you don't say; ‘I'm a heart attack'
Someone with kidney disease says; ‘I have a kidney disease
Similarly, with depression; ‘you are a person, and, you have a condition called ‘depression'
STEP 2: Book in for a Rebirthing/ Breathwork session and have the intention that you are willing to explore the thoughts that are with you each day contributing, in fact FEEDING on your feeling of depression.
If you are willing to explore. If you are willing to MINE down into the MIND, you will - in time - leave depression behind and get on with your life. It takes time. You've been living with the condition for some time, so it will take time to change.
