Depression is a thought problem!
That is why you can never think, talk, meditate, medicate or therapy away your depression, PTSD or your thoughts of suicide.
You didn't wake up one day and find yourself depressed, it developed and got worse over time as you thought and talked about it! As you unavoidably thought the thoughts of depression and talked about them your attention to them was feeding them. That is how and why they became intrusive and overwhelming. And that is how and why they sometimes develop into suicidal thoughts. Your attention to those thoughts is the key to their development, much like setting goals and achieving them, depression and PTSD develops the same way. If you had spent as much time thinking and talking about your goals as you did your depressive thoughts, you'd be rich and famous.
Having a sound and reasonable understanding of the power of our thoughts and how the mental processes really work will help you to better understand what is really going on in your head. With that knowledge you will understand how stilling the thoughts will enable you to overcome depression and PTSD.
For many years as a volunteer councilor at a VA facility the author has helped many people that were suffering with depression and PTSD overcome their affliction using the techniques and information presented in this book.
THIS BOOK TEACHES HOW TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION, PTSD AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS
Yes, you can overcome depression, PTSD and suicidal thoughts by taking back control of your mind and thoughts using a little mental discipline and a simple mental exercise called Being Still. Being Still is not meditation, it is an exercise in mental discipline. You will also learn how to refuse the intrusive thoughts when they come into your mind. By refusing them your attention, it not only diminishes their power to be overwhelming and intrusive, but in many cases they all but disappear from your mind.
LEARN FROM SOMEONE SPEAKING FROM A PLACE OF EXPERIENCE.
The author began volunteering as a peer support counselor at the Battle Creek Veterans Hospital because he knew the challenges he faced as a returning combat veteran. In his experience a clinical approach alone isn't enough. Endless therapy, medication, meditation and learning another coping skill will never solve the problems. Following the precepts and principles found in this book will help you to overcome depression and PTSD.
This work will teach you things that you may never have considered. Because of his knowledge and personal experiences, the author is uniquely qualified to teach and to address the issues you are faced with in a way that will help you to overcome your depression, PTSD and thoughts of suicide through your own efforts.
