@Someone here Following Arthur Janov's thinking (and he's helped many people cure depression), depression is an incomplete re-experience of old pain from childhood or infanthood. It's there, it's stuck, it's trying to come up, but the RE-pression system is too strong. Therefore, the sufferer of depression doesn't know where their lack of meaning and good feelings actually come from. The original cause has been repressed, out of awareness, and with that repression goes meaning. Because it's closing the sufferer off to a part of himself.
Meaningfulness comes with wholeness.
Wholeness comes with healing.
Healing requires feeling old repressed pain all the way through, until the repression (and therefore the depression) is no longer necessary.
We have to cry all the tears we couldn't cry, so today we can smile all the smiles we couldn't smile.
