  • @TheDescentJatt You need to change your language of thought. You are stuck in a very negative language of thought to change this write down 5 things that you can be grateful for, thankful for, and happy about in your life. Every day for the next 2 weeks add 1 thing to your list. Review this list anytime you feel negative thoughts taking over and say ‘I’m (grateful, thankful, or happy) about (read each item on your list). Do this for at least 3 weeks and things will get better.

  • The point to this video is simple. It is not what happens to us that is important, it's what we do about it that counts. At the moment we make a decision to not be victims of circumstance we take back the power to change our lives. Happiness is a choice just as depression often is a choice for many people.

  • As you said in the beginning sometimes it is not an exogenous issue, it is an endogenous issue.

    Neurotransmitters are a real factor in many cases of depression.

    Yes, self-talk, body posture, and so on are important.

    But, the big problem is life situations exacerbate the change in the uptake of the neurotransmitters.

    Sure there is NLP and RET, but it comes down to identifying the cause of depression first.

    It is a very dark, and deep hole.

  • We have the power to bring light to any darkness the problem is that people have a misguided sense of purpose that is reinforced by the people around them. Depression had become an easy excuse for failure and medication the answer. What we focus on we will find and if it is reinforced positively then there we will stay. It is not what happens to us that matters it what we do about it.

  • Gotta stay possitive.

    I'll die one day :)

  • @KristenM1988 I know it sounds too simple to work; it’s hard to believe that simple answers solve problems. We think that there must be a more complicated reason for what is happening to us therefore we need a complicated solution to help. However in many cases of depression we create the problem and the have the power to be the solution. Try using the technique before you reject it so quickly

  • @successcoachjohn If I had the ability to do that, I wouldn't be depressed. But with all due respect, I'm not the one calling myself a success coach with the ability to help others overcome depression.

  • this guy hasnt got a clue

  • I do believe that this program is a great oversimplification of the individual causes of depression, but I completely agree with the basic concept that for many, depressive thoughts are generated by not being where you think you should be in life. I know I have this problem as do some of my closer friends, and for treating this basic symptom, this program is great! Thank you!

  • Hi John,

    Your training is fantastic and I feel it would be beneficial for subscribers of my Depression Overcoming Techniques Blog. Can I have your permission to embed your videos that I believe will help my subscribers into my blog?

    Keep up the good work.
