The deception perpetuated by the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry – and supported by many members of the medical profession – is that treating symptoms with medication constitutes a cure. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.
Dr Gordon goes on to talk about the vital importance of helping his patients identify and deal with the true cause of their depression. More often than not this has to do with unresolved emotional stresses and suppressed feelings. (Nutritional deficiencies can occasionally also play a part.)
In my work as an Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) practitioner I have the inspiring privilege of observing this truth in action as I witness people experiencing profound – and often rapid – healing from debilitating depression simply by being supported to relinquish their unconscious defense mechanisms and to access and release their repressed emotions.
