It’s A Skill!  Putting A Positive Spin On Mental Health Issues

With mental illness the patient can be left feeling like there is something wrong with them.   

Actually there is a wealth of human potential that is revealed along with a diagnosis (from my alternative healing viewpoint).

I’ll begin with depression.  In order to “do” depression you have to associate into the past.  Consider for a moment that this is a “skill”.  Everyone has the capability to do this, but some people associate into their past really well.

How would you use this skill?  Well if you are prone to depression you would make a great writer because a similar skill set is utilised.

To do anxiety properly you have to imagine the future and worry about what could happen.  The skill set you use with anxiety is the same skill set you use in planning.  So alternative healing turns the idea of illness on it’s head.

If you have a tendency to drift away…… off in a dreamworld somewhere…..you have a great skill that would make you artistic and creative.

This is a key part of where mainstream (ok, and some alternatives) fall down.  They offer hope through their treatments but forget recognition.

Blessings,
