Stopping Loss and Bereavement Depression (Unabridged)

WED, 08 OCT 2008 10:00:24 EST

Bad sleep and dysfunctional dreaming are at the heart of how the brain manufactures depression feelings - including those that arise and persist following a bereavement or other great loss.

In this download you will learn of the three factors which are maintaining your depression. You will be able to identify the importance of each of these as contributing to the depression which is persisting and perhaps even deepening since your loss. And there is advice and tools and therapy to help you heal and move on.

This E-motion audio download is based on the Human Givens approach to emotional healing and mental health - the newest and most radical school of psychology in 40 years. This rapidly expanding approach is UK based and dates just from the mid 1990s.

The E-motion audio series can complement your Human Givens therapy but can also be used as part of a stand alone self help programme.

Andrew Richardson is a director of the London Human Givens Centre and a qualified Human Givens practitioner.
