Publisher's summary

The fatigue and the hopelessness - doesn’t it ever stop? Sometimes. But, when it stops, there’s the fear and anticipatory anxiety about its return. And, it does return. With a mental illness that’s so powerful yet so mysterious, is there any hope?

Depression ruled my life for nine years. Everything seemed hopeless when I was depressed. It was utter misery. When I wasn’t depressed, I was constantly afraid and worried about its return. What an exhausting, unfulfilling way to live. Could anything be done? I tried medication. Mostly, it numbed me. I was alive, but the spirit that made me “me” seemed to be gone. Were my only choices to live in despair or to be without despair, but at the cost of a sense of aliveness and vitality? One day, I stumbled upon what I now call the "emotional discharge method". Though I discovered it at no credit to myself, it’s what eventually led to a shedding away of depression. What was left when the depression had shed off? A completely new outlook on life…

This book helped me become my authentic self

I read this book two years ago when I was in the throes of depression, anxiety, in a long term toxic relationship. It became the foundation for change. that i had been seeking for over 40 years. I was able to finally emotionally release all the trauma I had been holding onto since childhood, release all the pain and emotions that created who i was. It takes time to truly heal, but I truly believe Nic has the key to success. You have to get it out. When your loved ones hurt you the pain shapes who you are. It also helped me see my 37 year marriage was not what I thought it was. Now, I am building a new, positive, healthy relationship with my husband after dissolving our co dependent toxic relationship that we thought was 'normal.' It is so wonderful to finally be here after years of my own self victimization. I was able to transform myself into who I really am and was quite surprised to realize I like who I am today. I suffered a terrible estrangement from my mother and daughter and for 13 years carried guilt and shame and just resigned myself to that self limiting belief. I listened to this book while in a two week PTSD debilitating episode and finally was able to relate to someone who understood how I felt. I would get so angry when I would do well emotionally for a few weeks then it would all come back. Nic was right, I had to release the trauma. This book has led me to hours and hours of self help and I am truly grateful for its raw honestly. I practice mindfulness and meditate daily and I have the self compassion I need to maintain my sense of self. A truly life changing, transformative listen or read. I highly recommend it to everyone who experiences any kind of PTSD, depression, anxiety. Many thanks to the author. Your honesty touched my heart in my deepest, darkest moments of life.
