“Depression first hit me 25 years ago as a result of critical events in my life. All I wanted to do was sleep. I dreaded going to work as I could hardly hold a pen. As a result I stayed away regularly. I looked around at people laughing and happy. And I prayed to be able to at least smile. I had no energy to attend to my children. I could barely get up and dress myself. I was actively suicidal. I had no will to live.
I consulted with a psychologist, who was very kind and patient with me, providing me with the opportunity to talk my heart out. I was referred to a psychiatrist who prescribed medication which helped for a while. I was not happy with staying on medication for a prolonged period, so I requested to discontinue.
I developed some coping skills to distract my focus from my feelings of depression. By the Grace of God I was able to progress in my career, nurture my family, engage in social activities and do everything that is expected of a person. I learnt to “manage” my life and my feelings. However, the deep, deep sadness and unhappiness at my core was always there, hanging over me even when life was seemingly “good”.
It took me a while to commit to transformation coaching. I asked myself, “What if it works???”. The rest is history. Working with Denise has been phenomenal! Her coaching style and approach is so gentle yet so impactful. I had never dreamed I could feel so free and empowered.
From the outset Denise taught me how to change my thought patterns and responses for better outcomes. I experienced better outcomes in my family and work life after only a few sessions. Once we started working on my emotions, I was blown away by the immediate impact. It was unbelievable how my feelings of sadness, despair, hopelessness, disappointment, hurt, anger and suppressed pain that I had been carrying lifted one by one and dissipated. As Denise gently took me through the process of Negative Emotional Therapy(TM), my feelings of depression disappeared. Denise helped me release limiting beliefs about myself that I had bought into all these years. In her supportive, non-judgemental and empowering manner, Denise helped me rediscover my self-esteem and embrace my own worthiness and self-love.
It has been 8 months since I completed the Depression Therapy Programme with Denise, and I can truly say that I feel as free as a bird, I am soaring like the eagle that I am! Thank you Denise for showing me my way to inner happiness, life has never felt so beautiful!
If you are battling with feelings of depression, I want to tell you that you do not need to live with it, it is possible to LET GO FOR GOOD! “
