Depression: Healing the Root Causes with RTT® Therapy

Depression affects millions of people worldwide. It can manifest in various forms and intensities, leading to feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. While depression can be triggered by a range of factors, the root causes often lie deeper within an individual's psyche.

The Root Causes of Depression

The root causes of depression are multifaceted, encompassing emotional, psychological, and social factors. The reasons can be different for every person and can be deeply connected to trauma, but there are patterns which appear in almost all cases. 

Negative self-talk plays a significant role in perpetuating depressive feelings, as individuals may engage in self-criticism, self-doubt, and harsh judgement towards themselves. This negative internal dialogue can create a vicious cycle of low self-esteem and feelings of unworthiness, further exacerbating the symptoms of depression.

Social isolation and feelings of loneliness also act as significant triggers for depression. Humans are inherently social beings, and meaningful connections with others play a crucial role in our emotional well-being. When individuals feel detached or isolated from their social networks, whether due to circumstances or internal struggles, it can lead to feelings of alienation and deep-seated loneliness, further fuelling the depressive cycle.

Furthermore, not having a clear life purpose or not following one's heart's desire, is the lack of contribution and personal growth in someone's life. This can contribute to a sense of emptiness and disconnection from one's true self. When individuals lack a sense of direction or fulfillment in their lives, they may experience a profound sense of meaninglessness and existential despair, fuelling depressive thoughts and emotions.

The Main Beliefs of People with Depression

Individuals fighting with depression may find themselves with self-limiting beliefs that hinder their path to recovery. Among these beliefs are the notions that there is no cure for depression, or even if one existed it would not be effective for them personally, and a sense of unworthiness that suggests they do not deserve healing. These harmful beliefs can be strong obstacles that stop people from seeking and getting the help they need.

Overcoming Depression with RTT®

As a baby, your primary needs revolve around seeking love, connection, significance, approval and safety. Even as adults, these needs persist, but additional ones emerge, such as the desire to feel seen, heard, celebrated and important - often seeking fulfillment from others. Additionally, the feelings of contribution and personal growth offer a sense of meaning in someone's life. However, it is essential to understand that the responsibility lies within yourself to meet these needs. It is crucial to recognize your self-worth, significance, and take pride in yourself. While it may be challenging for some, learning to fullfill your own needs is achievable through the transformative power of RTT® Therapy.
