I could use anyone's imput on this. I cautiously
revealed to my friend that I suffer from clinical
depression and that I have had this illness since
childhood. He responded to me by saying that
any biological illness can be cured. He said
that we create our illnesses and that we can
think our way out of them. He went on further
to state that Jesus said that if a person has
the faith of a mustard seed, he can move
mountains. I told him that my therapist who is
a clinical psychologist said that there is no
cure for depression. He told me that I should
quit my therapist and go back to my hypnotherapist
because my hypnotherapist said that major
depression can be cured. This is so frustrating
to me because my psychotherapist just recently
had to spend a whole hour with me just to get
me out of denial; there has been a part of me
who has always felt that I should be strong and
just think my way out of my illness. What do you
all think about this?Glenn
