Every person possesses an inner potential for self-healing. This book aims to encourage you to develop more courage for life, joy, and energy through simple and effective steps. Admitting that you are suffering from depression is an important first step in dealing with the illness. It is also helpful to understand the symptoms and causes of this condition. Just as these are individual, so too is the treatment. Step by step, the author guides those affected through the multifaceted healing process: from the initial steps back into life, through the gentle rebuilding of a new self-confidence, to the eventual realignment of the life compass. Natural methods that can further enhance the success of therapy can be helpful companions on this journey. These include methods from naturopathy and relaxation techniques.
