دانلود کتاب EMDR برای افسردگی -بر آسیب‌هایی که علائم شما را تحریک می‌کنند غلبه کنید

People are used to seeing the side of you that’s strong, positive, and functioning well, but internally, you feel lost, alone, and confused. It might feel like you’re failing at life. You have become more detached, disconnected, and numb, with the exception of bouts of intense anxiety or anger—neither of which are typical for the real you. If you’ve been curious and courageous enough to break through some of these psychological walls, you may have found a dark part of yourself beneath them that feels inherently flawed, worthless, and insignificant. While down there in this discouraging abyss, you may have noticed starting to question whether you ever felt connected, finding yourself filled with doubts about everything and everyone that surrounds you, especially yourself. But then you start to feel more out of control, which then starts to manifest in certain behaviors you’ve adopted to cope with these painful experiences—like pouring your energy into work in unfulfilling ways, engaging in addictive or obsessive-compulsive behaviors, isolating yourself, or withdrawing from or otherwise avoiding your once-typical engagements. You may not know how much longer you can keep up this façade you’ve been wearing, so you might be trying to eliminate these habits. On one hand, this can feel empowering, but on the other, you might start feeling worse because you no longer have those ways of coping or distracting yourself. Maybe you’ve had episodes like this in the past in similar contexts, but not to the degree where you’ve actually wanted to do something about it. Take a few moments in silence with yourself to consider when you noticed that you started struggling most recently. Notice what thoughts, feelings, memories, situations, or people come to the surface. What are the major stressors in your life right now? Chances are that you noticed your personal struggles becoming more active in the midst of a relationship, school, health, work, or other personal conflict or change. Take another few moments to consider this: when do you remember first noticing you were struggling in life? Whatever age comes to mind is relevant. Take note of what conflicts or changes were occurring. Looking at more recent stressors compared to that time, do you notice any patterns that seem significant?
