Complete healing from depression is easier than many people imagine. It is widely believed that depression treatment without drugs is not possible, because it is assumed that this problem is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. However, in my work with my clients I have observed that it is exactly the other way round. The chemical imbalance in our brain is caused by our depressive thoughts and feelings. Once these thoughts and feelings are corrected treating depression without medication is a quick and even enjoyable process. I have had dramatic success with the approach outlined in this article with all my clients. Many of my clients have experienced tragic experiences of abuse, loss and trauma in their past and most of them believe that it is those experiences that are to blame for their present depression. While I have the greatest empathy with the pain that they have experienced (being a survivor of child abuse myself) I do not agree ...  a mother would love an unhappy child. When we feel this love for ourselves we need to reinforce it by putting a smile on our face and focus on the positive feeling it produces. Over and over we need to go back to this positive feeling every single time the old depression threatens to take over. If you practise sincerely in this way healing depression will be a matter of a few weeks or months. How can I be so sure? I have worked many years with numerous clients in this way and also with myself. Treating depression without medication is perfectly achievable. In every single case my approach to depression treatment without drugs has brought quick healing even in the case of severe depression.
