Website Author Personal Statement To You:
Depression seems like quicksand in that the more you fight to get out of it, the deeper it sucks you in.
This website is from my heart in the intention to help you get out of the quicksand.
The information in this website comes from 2 places: (1) In-depth academic research and (2) Extensive personal 'research'. I suffered from depression for well over 20 years and I should be dead from all of my self-medication. During my "black and blue period" I had several episodes of major depression. There was a long period of time in when I simply didn't care if I lived or died. And, like I mentioned there were a couple of times where I almost did die thanks to the help of various 'recreational' substances. Funny how depression can make you not care how much you might hurt those who love you. When a person is stuck deep in the quicksand of earth-crushing depression, it really is impossible to conceive of life without being depressed. People who have not been depressed really don't know how ridiculous it is to say to a depressed person: "Just cheer up. You've got so much to be thankful for. You live in a great country, etc...." I am not denying the validity of the above statement that a person does have a lot to be thankful for. I am simply pointing out to those who don't know, that it is futile to speak in a 'normal' language to a depressed person. This website is dedicated to those people who can't even begin to imagine not feeling the everyday, oppressive, overwhelming, grayness of depression. My message to you is there is a way to a better life. There is a different and better world waiting for you. Never Give Up. C. Devin Hastings
"My professional background includes work with clients who have succeeded in overcoming situations ranging from nail biting to bulimia. I love what I do. My goal is to facilitate a persons discovery of their healing inner resources.
As far as I am concerned, a therapist is a teacher and a guide. I teach people about their mind as it relates to the hypnotherapeutic context.
Then, I guide them to that area of
their mind where they can engage in very powerful, positive self-persuasion."
