“I shouldn’t be here” is how I would think.
The spirial of thinking in a negative way quickly becomes your justification for exactly the thoughts causing it.
After having everything set out, I knew that the last thing I should do would be to say goodbye. Â I did so on the condition that I met with a professional.
The Human Givings approach is completely different to anything I had heard of previously.
When a cut bleeds, we don’t commit suicide to solve the problem, we put a plaster on and take the neccessary steps to help the wound heal until we take the plaster off and find no trace of the original cut. Â Our brain is a pattern machine that works the same way and yet when it isn’t well, suicide becomes a “justify-able” way out when it doesn’t actually make any sense once we break it all down.
After only 3 weeks, I was cleared of depression and suicidal thoughts. Â I’m not trying to be an advert but since then I have partied like I have never partied before.
The worse thing I found about depression was dreading waking up and never being able to sleep. Â A horrible catch 22.

Feel free to leave comments, I’m more than open to discussion.
I would also like to thank all those that emailed me whilst I was ill. Â You gave me more to live for than I could ever have thought of.

Can you give some bottom-line of what exactly is the message of Human Givings?
I’m very curious to know..thx.
Basically, the human mind is a complex pattern machine.
You look for patterns in everything.
With myself, I went over the first time I ever felt depressed; primary school.
With this memory, I went through it with my councilor and we re-imagined how to cope in that original situation.
The unhappy memory becomes a teaching aid to living.
There’s no endless talk of how you dream or what you feel. It gets straight to the root cause.
I went from being suicidal and severly depressed to feeling normal and alive in a matter of weeks with only 3 sessions. I strongly recommend them 🙂
