Patient 7. Before: “For decades, I’ve battled depression. The awful feeling that you don’t matter, you’re not making a difference, that everyone else is having a better life. The utter pointlessness of it all, getting no real enjoyment from anything.” After: “There simply aren’t words to describe the experience but I can say that the usual negative self-narration that I have had vanished completely. It was replaced by a sense of beautiful chaos, a landscape of unimaginable colour and beauty. I began to see that all of my concerns about daily living weren’t relevant, that they were a result of a negative spiral. I also felt that I was learning without being taught, that intuition was being fed. Fleeting feelings from my past came back, memories too, both of which seemed long forgotten.” “Although it’s early days yet, the results are amazing. I feel more confident and calm that I have in such a long time. My outlook has changed significantly too, I’m amore aware that it’s pointless to get wrapped up in endless negativity. I also feel as if I’ve seen a much clearer picture. Another side to this, is that I feel like I’ve had a second chance, like a survivor. I can enjoy things the way I used to, without the cynicism, without the oppression. At its most basic, I feel like I used to before the depression.
