Although I suffered through a traumatic childhood I was still able to find a partner, have children and run a business. At age 46 I suffered a depressive breakdown. It put me on a journey through hospitals, seeing a psychiatrist, and into exploring complementary/natural therapies. None of these modalities cured my problem, mainly because they dealt with the cognitive part of my brain only. I eventually found my way to Los Angeles where a underwent Primal Therapy under Arthur Janov.
Primal Therapy is a feeling based therapy that took me into my lower brain areas of the limbic system and brainstem.
Releasing childhood trauma at this level cured my known problems, plus a few more things I didn't realise I suffered from. The amazing thing for me was that as my pain was released I come to experience love - suppressing pain, it seems, also suppresses feelings of love.
The mental health industry does not understand the importance and power of the brainstem in such common disorders like depression and anxiety. I am only a lay person with no formal (cognitive) degrees, but I have experienced the power of my brainstem, and that puts me way ahead in the field of sensations and feeling. I wrote this book from that knowledge.lihat lebih sedikit
