Depression Healing Treatment

This article explains a very effective self help treatment to achieve complete healing from depression. The good news is that healing from depression is within the reach of everyone who is suffering from this affliction. I have worked with numerous clients who had mild or severe clinical depression and they all – without exceptions – overcame these painful feelings within a short time by following the advice that I will outline in this article.

The first thing I show to all my client is how to send love to themselves just like a mother would love her only child. Doing this has an enormous healing effect on our troubled emotions and prepares the ground for the next steps in the depression healing treatment.

Dealing with the traumas from our past

Many people believe that traumatic experiences of abuse and loss are the reason that they suffer from depression. I do have the deepest empathy with the feelings of my clients (having being abused as child myself) but I do not believe that it is the trauma or abuse in itself that causes the depression. What I have found is that it is the feelings of anger or resentment that arose from these traumas and which continue to the present day that are the cause for the depression. Let me explain in more detail:

I have seen that most people who suffer from depression harbour deep-seated resentments against people from their past who have hurt them. Sometimes they even resent God for allowing painful things to happen. It is those unresolved resentments about the trauma – not the trauma in itself – that have turned into depression.

So, healing depression starts with the acknowledgement of our grudges towards the people (or God) who have caused us to suffer. Feeling this anger is the first step to recovery because once we feel angry we are already less depressed.

Letting go of resentments

In the next step we need to let our anger go. Many people find this hard but we need to understand that our anger cannot right our old grievances. It is not possible to punish the person who has hurt us through holding grudges against them and our anger cannot bring back what has been taken away from us, either. On the contrary, we are only harming ourselves with our chronic resentments – because it will turn into depression and even physical sickness. In other words, chronic resentment will only achieve one thing – it makes us very miserable over time.

The next question is how we can let our grudges go. I am not an advocate of ‘simply forgiving’. If we have experienced serious harm nobody is in a position to simply forgive this. Letting go of our anger does not mean either to condone someone’s actions or simply forgetting what they have done, let alone taking away their guilt. If someone has traumatised someone else they will have to live with their guilt for the rest of their lives.

Letting go of our old grudges involves only one thing: sending positive energy to the other person with the intention that they will be healed from their negative impulses and regret what they have done. In other words, we need to send love to the very people who have harmed us.

Many people find it hard to imagine that they could send love to the very people who have hurt them. However, in my experience with my clients most people find it easier than they believe at first. In fact, they all find it extremely liberating. For many it feels like a big burden is falling from their heart and their depression improves dramatically in a matter of minutes. Doing this is beneficial for healing depression that has been caused by the traumas in our past. However, let me explain that sending love does not mean liking our ‘opponent’. We do not have to become friends again or pretend that nothing has happened.

Being depressed for no reason

Now we come to the people who feel depressed but have not experienced any traumas in their past. In this case the healing is even simpler. Again, we start by sending love to ourselves and wish ourselves to be happy. We do this like a loving mother would comfort a sad child. Doing this will jump-start a positive feeling. Then we focus on this feeling and we will quickly notice how it grows stronger on its own accord. We focus on this sense of love and happiness every single time we feel a sense of depression arising in our mind. If we can do this consistently, we will find depression relief within a short time.

How can I be so sure? Because I have worked for many years with many clients in this way. Every time this simple advice has helped people to find healing from depression even in clinical cases.
