Re: [One_EFT Healing Highrise] Depression and dreaming

[Guest guest]

I found the same theory last year, on

http://www.clinical-depression.co.uk

.... now, I was very happy with it for a while,

and it may even contain some important truths.

But maybe not. For instance, if a negative

emotion can be eliminated often in a few minutes

with EFT, then who cares about " processing " it,

being it awake or in dreams?

I now believe that dreams don't " process " emotions, they merely reflect them.

I used a lot of time studying their courses, and

got some gains from it. But then later I was back

where I started.

Yours, Eolake

[One_EFT Healing Highrise] Depression and dreaming

Hi guys,

Haven't posted for a looong time now. I hope everyone is well. I thought i might post this link to an article by a guy here in the UK called Joe . He is one of several people developing a new approach tot he treatment of depression and other psychological issues here in the UK called the Human Givens approach. Anyway i seem to remember Craig mentioning in an article somewhere that depression was often the 'down' caused by many unresolved emotional issues. I thought this article may interest some of you.

Hi Duncan, thank you this is very helpful to me. I am new to this group and

have just been watching, I don't know what EFT is, but I am tired of myself.

I have panic (very silly triggers) Diagnosed depression, and acute anxiety,

all when things seemed to be going at there best? I cannot figure why I am

here, and it truly is a tiring trip.

Thanks for sending this site

It is a big help

take care

Tania,

One reason you are depressed is because

you tell yourself you are, “Tired of myself”. Think about how you

would feel if another person told you that. You would be sad. Think of

yourself as two people. There is the parent type and the child type. Your parent

lately has been very critical of the child type. Try to be more encouraging and

supportive of your thoughts. I think it helps to think of your fears and other

feelings as coming from a little girl inside. It is easier to be nice to a

little girl than the adult we are. Picture that little girl. She is scared

about something. You say these things are silly. She becomes sad. You can

listen to her and mentally say supportive things to her. Tell her you love and

accept her feelings and will take care of her. She will feel comforted and calm

down.

Look up EFT on the official website www.emofree.com download the free

manual and do some of the tapping. You will find relief.

Hi Tania,

i'm glad that you found that article helpful. I have

found many people with depression read that article

and are so relieved to see the source of their

problem. It makes so much sense it brings about a

certain AHA! moment. The approach used to treat

depression fast and effectively has been adopted by

'MIND' in hartlepool here in the UK. This is a primary

care facility and their waiting list has reduced by

three quarters and is turning the medical mode on its

head. Exciting stuff.

Its sound like you are having a tough time. I only

recently got out a similar situation so i am reticent

to offer personal assistance at this time. However, if

you email me: duncno1@... i will be more than

happy to point you in the direction of some resources

that helped me.

Some pointers to remember tho:

Depression is something that happens to you. Its not

you!!! in time as you come out of it you will realise

this.

You can get better i promise you. Although anyone who

is depressed or anxious believes they won't get better

that is part of the condition itself. It just takes a

little time, the right approach and persistance.

Find someone that can help. Someone who can answer you

questions and knows what they are talking about. By

this i mean somebosy who has been through what you

have or has helped SUCCESSFULLY people in your

situation. No one and i mean no one can truly

understand the pain and despair of depression and

anxiety unless they are extremely skillful and

empathetic or they have been there themselves.

Believe in yourself and your resources. They are there

i promise you! However much of a hopeless situation

you believe yourself to be in you are NOT helpless or

hopeless. You have gems of personality, resource and

humaity in you. Depression just TEMPORARILY puts them

out of your own sight.

I hope this helps a little. You can do it!

Duncan

Hi Duncan, and Carol, thanks for your helpful replies. I am actually a lot

further on with the depression than my post portrayed. I am very fortunate

to have the luxury of time to spend recovering, and have made great leaps of

improvement. I would even go as far to say the depression is 90% lifted. All

I need now is to work on some motivation. However, the anxiety and panic

attacks (these are very new) make me despair sometimes. I get motivated to

go out, have an attack, and come home devastated, although today I made

great progress. I have met a wonderful lady on another group, who is a

spiritual counsellor. She has been through it all, and we have made headway

in pin pointing the triggers. It would seem to be when I get in a situation

of feeling trapped i.e getting on the motorway, once on it is a long way

before you can get off if necessary. I went out and did it today, and no

problem. A huge weight off my shoulders!

Well thanks guys for caring

This is a nice group

Take care

Dear Tania,

This is a very powerful statement. I just joined and have been

reading the postings. Yours really struck me.

I am a reikist, and intutive life coach. Being an older gal, and

notice the (er) on old (er), I can tell you that most people in

their life feel what you are feeling at one time or another.

But what led you here, to this moment is very important. There is no

quick fix. There are sense-memories that are within each of us that

are triggered from time to time, and it is a good thing to find out

what those triggers are.

Emotional upset and especially depression can be caused by many

things, a chemical inbalance, a unhealed wound, a unresloved

conflict or inner-child hurt. Only you can determine what these

things are influenced by.

There is a trintiy of energy, The Body, The Mind and The Soul, you

can not successfully treat one without treating the other. And if on

of these in not inalignment the others will be off.

[..]

Being a Reikist, I know how hard it is to reach out and have people

reach back. The more resources you have, and the more you share, the

more contact you make with people, things, and realtionships outside

of yourself. This is a safe and informal way of doing that.

It seems to me that you have already taken the first step to

wellness in reach out here within the group. Cudos, good for you.

Keep the process going.

Love and light, Marge

You forgt to mention that depression can also be caused by severe, long

term, chronic physical pain & disablement. Which, like mine, can bring

aching lonliness. Which, in turn, causes further, deeper depression, more

sickness & physical pain.
