“You are absolutely correct that when one of our wards decides to set
out on the path to recovery, self-help as well as structured programs
such as the twelve step are effective. Your personal biography adds
perspective.” Director, State of California Youth Correctional Agency.
“Your interest in providing self-help materials for the inmates is well
appreciated.” Warden, Federal Prison, USA
“I wish you success.” Official of the US Department of Justice.
“I was mentally ill and locked on violent wards in mental hospitals for
many years. I had serious addictions and suffered intense anxiety and
depression. I turned my anger inward in suicidal rage. At age 70, after
using the self-help measures for a few months my anxiety and depression
were gone. Within a year I was free of all emotional problems and
addictions. I have all the emotions I was born with, anger, sadness, and
joy. My mind is at peace. Ellie
“I searched endlessly for help from depression, dread, fear, and
emptiness in my life. I have at last been given permission to express my
anger in a way that would not effect others or leave me feeling bad,
wrong, guilty, or worse. I can feel the toxins coming out. It’s working.
I am so excited. It’s all ringing true. I feel alive for the first time
ever. I feel joy and a sense of well-being and relief. Your theory is
brilliant, simple, and beautiful.” Cathy
“What made a difference to me was the redirecting concept…to give back
the anger to those who triggered it. It did not fix my marriage--it
salvaged it. We were talking about separation. Guess what the main
reason for a divorce would have been--‘uncontrollable outbursts of
violence’ on my part. I had been chronically depressed for 25 years. Now
it is three months that I haven’t felt depressed. I can’t believe I am
even saying this, having turned round and round in circles for 10 years
in therapy. Now I trust my own body and soul to know the way.” Lynn
“I was touched by your story. It is truly wonderful, and speaks volumes
for the efficiency of this approach. I had a major depressive episode
that almost cost me my life. I was in despair. I tried screaming and
hitting inanimate objects to turn the depression into anger. The results
are astonishing. My depression lifts immediately. I found my repressed
anger against my mom, and worked at it so effectively I really
understand where the term "flood" comes from. I feel much better. I had
my worst suicidal attack when I while on an antidepressant. I no longer
use antidepressants. I have lost interest in TV violence. I know I have
more work to do and that this is a gradual process. Frank
“I have continued to mentally redirect and connect the "bad"
feelings--any feelings of becoming small, vulnerable, feeling less than,
feeling abandoned, alone, stupid or ugly. Since I usually feel "small"
around other people I do this mentally even at work. It levels out my
low mood within minutes. My lingering depression which lasted for almost
a year is pretty much lifted. It works!! I am feeling so much better.
The beating on the bed didn't work for me. Instead I am in a cycling
class with pumping, aggressive, outrageous music and as I am cycling
like a madwoman I am imagining my strength at decimating my tormentors.
It is very physical and I feel so released. Their faces appear less and
less. My best to you Ellie and your wonderful messages. Cindy

“When I read your abstract it was as though all the dots in my brain

The New Testament word for sin, ‘hamartia,’ comes from the sport of
archery and literally means "missing the mark" –misdirected anger! The
Biblical command, Old and New Testament, is: "Be angry and do not
sin." 9/9/99
Please re-read the article on the geocities site. The self-help measures
are very simple once you study this and understand the simple concept of
wrong neurons and the need to redirect anger at the first sign of
nervous symptoms.
