ABSTRACT

Back in those days, depression was essentially seen as largely a psychological disorder: if you felt down and depressed, the remedy was professional talk therapy to sort out the psychological variables and provide an integrative resolution. Over the years, I itted like a hummingbird to various counselors, psychologists,

psychotherapists, and psychiatrists in my search for what I believed might be a foundational psychologically driven impasse blocking my potential. As it turned out (and what eventually came to light), I did in fact have an early history that would readily lead many people toward some manner of potentially long-term psychological distress and dysfunction.
