I've been depressed my whole life, until I got on meds. Also, do not get me started on NJ-we are from the same tribe lol. Same trajectory it seems, too. Happy New Year!
So you are originally from Jersey, the attitude capital of America? I knew I liked your style. I worked as a psychotherapist for a large group in Manhattan. We would use different modalities to try to address a whole laundry list of different emotional problems seen in clients. The modalities that we used were dictated to us by the owners of the practice (two longtime Psychiatrist's from the region). I was skeptical when they first told us that were to suggest controlled crying in some select cases, but the results were very positive. This was a good 20 years ago. After seeing it work so well for clients, I started doing it. I would cry until I was completely spent. The resulting feeling reminded me of how you feel after a hard workout at the gym. I felt exhausted, but good. Like I could feel relief, I could feel the endorphin rush. I felt like something good had just happened. I wish more people would give it a shot. Thanks for your comments. We definitely have to talk more about NJ in the future, now that I know we have chewed some of the same dirt. Have yourself a great Eve. RM
