Treating Depression Holistically

passionfruitpassionfruitMember
Hi Everyone,

I’m in the middle of a six week break from my T and I'm really struggling to find ways to cope because I’m just miserable. I’m not just suffering because of the break, which is bad in itself, but also all the others memories that are triggered because of the separation.

I found this one website about treating depression holistically that was really insightful. It might feel overwhelming to see all of the items listed, but I think it can be helpful to apply just one or two things. I’m trying to tackle one thing a week, if I’m able. http://www.healingfromdepressi...ion-holistically.htm

This week I’m working on a library of good memories. I picked a bunch of pictures from the past 12 months of good times I’ve had with people I care about. I plan on making a small album that I can keep in my purse so I can look at it multiple times a day.

I’d love to know what you guys think about this idea of holistic healing.

Big hugs to everyone.

PF,
I happen to be of the really lucky people for whom AD's are really effective, but I still think this is a really useful way to treat depression and being triggered. Thanks for posting the link.

My first therapist used to describe me as sitting on a stool and the more legs I added to that stool the more stable I was (therapy, meds, friends, family, journaling, faith). The more resources we develop, the less chance we are left stranded when one is not available (such as our terribly selfish therapists actually having the nerve to take a vacation! Big Grin). So I think a holistic approach can be very effective.

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
