Depression gone, my eyes sparkle again
Janne (Age 39)
The coronavirus pandemic and the resulting isolation created a sense of disconnection in me. Living through a year and a half of the coronavirus wave, sometimes working from home, sometimes from the office, had worn me out. I felt life-weary and depressed. I looked in the mirror, and my eyes were dull. I myself was completely gray and as if lost somewhere. My hair color had grown out, and the thought of buying new clothes for the summer wardrobe didn’t seem appealing to me. I felt like I had completely disappeared into my routine life and realized that something was missing.
I had figured out in my head what needed to be done, but I couldn’t take any real steps. I understood that no therapy could help me with what was missing, but I needed a push, a spark to get my batteries going again.
The picture is illustrative
A friend recommended MER biofeedback therapy to me. I hadn’t heard of it before, but I decided to give it a try. After the first therapy session, I came home in the evening, looked in the mirror, and saw that my eyes were shining incredibly! And they still are!
The change was immediate; the depression was gone!
A couple of days later, I started noticing that I wasn’t thinking so much about trivial things anymore. I could focus on one activity without my thoughts constantly wandering. The noise in my head disappeared.
I went to therapy several more times, and thanks to the therapy, a very important development began in me – I started putting myself first. I started saying “no.” This is a very important change for me. Previously, it was very difficult for me to say “no” to people without feeling guilty. Now, if I feel I need to rest, I rest, and if necessary, I turn off my phone.
I also started valuing myself as a woman. I am a very natural person, and I have never liked to dress up much. But during the therapy period, something clicked in me, and I started paying much more attention to my appearance. After the first therapy session, I dyed my hair. I hadn’t done that in a while.
Thanks to MER biofeedback therapy, I have taken steps I would not have dared to take before. I am more confident and self-aware, and I am making decisions with a straight back to make my life happier. I recommend the therapy to everyone who feels they need a change in their life but doesn’t know how to start.
