That's the power that we have within us.
So I don't say that you're going to eliminate depression.
I say you're going to eliminate the source of depression and therefore increase your management of future bouts of depression by 81%.
So therefore, what that means is that all of us are going to have periods of depression.
It's so normal.
We've got to normalize what they've...
taken away and abnormalized they've made it abnormal if you have any kind of depression or up and down moods or you're feeling suicidal 95% of people have suicidal thoughts and I'm not overriding that these are vitally important in fact I'm giving more level of importance when I say it's so important to pay attention to your mind
That I'm saying self-regulate your mind all the time.
Neuroscience shows us we can do that every 10 seconds.
That's how important it is.
I am saying that if you just give it a label of bipolar and a medication, you're taking away the importance.
You're dishonoring and invalidating that person's whole life experience.
And you're not giving that person the power in their lives.
You're not empowering them to face this toxic issue and reconstruct it to a point that they can actually have mental peace.
So when we have a day where let's say now that you've gone through this healing and it's 20 years later and you're 20 years after the abuse, but you're in a situation where something bad happens and you feel a bit depressed, you're in the pandemic, maybe this happened 20 years ago, now the pandemic happens and these things that can make us all depressed, doesn't mean we're brain diseased, it means that we're having an adverse experience.
Okay, so that's the concept.
So people, when you take that away, what happens then is that moving the mind in keeping these
keeping that abuse keeping the trauma this increases vulnerability to disease by 35 to 98 so here's the math if you don't deal with your stuff and you just get it labeled and suppressed because that's what the current narrative is doing the current gold standard of psychiatric treatment is label and there's there's therapy but the therapy is very often also just a band-aid on a on on a wound it's not really solving deconstructing and reconstructing and equipping people
If you do that, you then increase the vulnerability to disease.
If you increase vulnerability to disease, what's going to happen?
