Depression or MDD (Major Depressive Disorder)
Depression is the primary symptom for virtually all behavior disorders. This is why Step 1 of the SR® process is an emotional checklist. The Emotional Checklist is filled out before one begins the SR® process and at every follow-up SR® session. Two other instruments of measurement are included as part of the Emotional Checklist and they are the Behavior Control Checklist and the Relationship Satisfaction Scale. Use of these three instruments insures the SR® client is acutely aware of their improvement and that the CSRC is doing their job and doing it well.

In the beginning of this video about depression they state "Treatment is an ongoing process of trial and error." There is no trial & error with SR®. SR® is the only "proven process for depression." - Google It Dr. Helen Mayberg discovers Area 25 of the brain. This is the part of the brain that lights up during a state of depression while the frontal cortex dims down. Dr. Mayberg admits it is the software (subconscious) that affects the hardware (brain) and not the other way around as claimed by the pharmaceutical companies. |
The three most damaging emotions which are part of what make up a depressed state are Fear, Guilt and Anger. This is why these three emotional states are the first to be addressed in the Emotional Checklist. Even though you may not feel sad the question is... Are you motivated to move as quickly as possible toward your objectives? Understanding how motivation works within the subconscious is another part of the SR® process.
