Healing Depression
Healing From Depression
Some come to me with the official diagnoses of depression while others feel helpful to shift a baffled a negative, pessimistic outlook. People with depression report being “sad, without a reason” and being in a “rough patch that will not seem to end”. Unlike sadness, depression is not about a situation or circumstance. Depression is a person’s outlook on life.
Healing From Depression
Many people who are depressed have tried many therapies, seen countless doctors, and tried supplements with some or little result. Many have been blamed for their own condition and so have learned to hide their malaise and isolation from family and friends. A depressed person can be confused about what to do next and are afraid to tell people about their depression for fear of judgment.
The cause of a person’s depression can be as unique as the person, but depression has several components:
1. Mental - the way someone thinks and therefore perceives their circumstances.
2. Energetic - how a person’s field is set up to receive, hold and disperse energy.
3. Physical - neurotransmitter cells in the body are set up to receive, hold and share information with the rest of the body. Also, the way a person hold's there body impacts their mood.
4. Behavoral- the repeated patterns that a person engages in that initiates and maintains a poor mood.
Shift Out of Depression
An overload of feelings not felt can clog the system making it difficult for the system to make sense of information and stimulus. Unfelt grief, rage, and negativity can overload the system. At the time, it may have been unacceptable to express ourselves, but now we must give ourselves permission to feel so we may heal.
Releasing these trapped emotions through expressive movement and breath can unlock trapped energy that causes the life force to be blocked. When released we gain greater access to wellness.
Self-destructive beliefs need to uprooted, examined and released. “I am not worthwhile”, “Life is empty and meaningless” and “I don't’ belong here” are examples of common beliefs that are common with depression. When energetically released a person can almost immediately come out of a dark place.
