Anger Turned Inward Can It Lead To
Feelings Of Depression
There Are Either Fear-Based
Emotions Are Love-Based Emotions
Consider that your anger turned inward may be the leading cause
of feelings of depression, and emotions fall into two
categories... they are either fear-based emotions or love-based
emotions.
How to Heal Depression By Helene Rothschild
Are you tired of feeling depressed? Would you like to find out
the causes of this draining emotion so that you can heal
yourself? Early in my practice as a Marriage and Family
Therapist, I learned some very interesting aspects of this
debilitating emotion that robs us of our health and happiness.
To begin with, I discovered from my clients that depression is
anger turned inward. Anger is a secondary emotion. Under this
feeling is fear, hurt, and/or powerlessness. I also learned that
there are only two basic emotions and they are fear and love.
All other emotions are either fear-based or
love-based
It is easy to tell the difference. Fear constricts our bodies and
does not feel good. In fact, it is the cause of stress and
anxiety. Love expands our bodies and feels great.
Therefore, the cause of emotional depression (there are also
medical causes) is basically fear. However, that is not the
bottom line. To go deeper, I discovered that our fears are caused
by our negative decisions that are made from our negative
experiences.
My goal in the process I developed, HART, which stands for
Holistic And Rapid Transformation, is to help clients identify
their fear-based experiences and thoughts and to change them to
positive ones, so that they can feel good.
For over 28 years, I have had tremendous success with this
process, because it quickly gets to the causes of depression and
any other problems. No matter what the issues were for the
clients, I always looked for the negative decisions that caused
them to live in fear and have low self-esteem.
For example, John, a forty-three-year-old successful lawyer, was
referred to me by his friend. All of John's money could not stop
him from suffering from depression. The emotionally struggling
man could not seem to grasp the happiness he desired. The lawyer
had problems with relationships, family members and friends.
Nothing seemed to make him happy. He was miserable.
As I do with all clients
I looked for the negative thoughts that were tormenting him. With
the HART process, they were easy to find. We are unique, and our
problems are not. John made many common negative decisions based
on his painful childhood. His mother was emotionally unavailable,
and his Dad was an alcoholic.
From the verbal and physical abuse and lack of love and support,
John decided that he was bad, not good enough, unimportant,
unlovable, unworthy, and unattractive. All of these beliefs were
not true, but F.E.A.R is False Evidence Appearing Real.
Typical of children, little John took responsibility for all the
pain in his family, and he felt helpless and hopeless to help
them. All this hurt his self-esteem. Even though John was an
adult living on his own for many years, he, like all of us, was
still being affected by his past.
Once John was able to release those fear-based thoughts and
change them to positive ones, his self-esteem improved. He smiled
as he said, "Helene I feel better and more hopeful."
I taught John how to identify his
depression...
Anger, fears, and negative beliefs, and how to release them
constructively with the HART process. I reminded him that he was
okay, no matter what people said or did. I helped him realize
that he had the power to attract what he wanted with his new
positive beliefs (The Law of Attraction).
Six months later, I received a phone call from John. He happily
told me that he felt good, and he had a loving relationship with
a wonderful woman. "Helene, when something negative happens, I no
longer take responsibility for it. It feels so good not to be
depressed."
If you suffer from depression, you can also help yourself
overcome that debilitating emotion. Even if you are taking
medication, it is still important to deal with the emotional
causes by releasing your negative thoughts and changing them to
positive ones. When you raise your self-esteem, you can also
raise your head up high and say, "I am depressed no more!"
