A
common misconception
is that therapy is a miracle DEPRESSION
CURE - that therapy is all sunshine and
roses and that it is meant to make you feel
better straight away.
No,
it doesn’t.
It’s
a long, long process that takes weeks, months,
maybe even years – and it’s
not without a lot of hard work on your part.
You
have to treat yourself as homework. After
all, the work you are doing, is on you…
Finding
your 'DEPRESSION CURE' can be a real tough
journey:
In
order to find happiness, acceptance and
to stop the depression, tears and frustration,
you have to do a lot of soul searching.
Now
this is tough. You and your therapist will
have to dig up a lot of memories and experiences
from your past that you would perhaps rather
forget.
But
just because they’re buried, doesn’t
mean that they are not there, affecting
everything that you do, perceive, and react
to.
On
the contrary. Because you’ve pushed
these memories and experiences to the back
of your mind, it’s quite probable
that you have never had a chance to really
explore it objectively – to deal with
it, accept it, and move on.
The
first half of therapy (DEPRESSION
CURE) is an emotionally painful process,
but it is one that I, for one, am pleased
I went through, as the difference in my
life is amazing.
I
don’t know what quality of life I
would have had if I had gone on the way
I had been.
And
I ask the same to you – do you really
want to carry on living your life in the
way you feel now?
Only
you can change
the way you feel about your life and your
future. And you can change it for
the better...
So
why not try a 'talking' therapy?
You
never know - it could well be the DEPRESSION
CURE you've been searching for...
...or
at least help you to deal with your CFS
or FMS illness...
Next,
how therapy focuses on how you have learnt
to cope with things...

to how therapy gives you a chance to grow
