RSSLiving Beyond Depression Seminar Creates Awareness
Roxanne Renee was in a severe, treatment resistant major clinical depression for four years until an experimental treatment snapped her out of it. She was told that there was a 90% chance she would experience a relapse. Determined to prevent this, she took active steps to modify her behavior and reduce the chance of relapse. Eight years later, she has not suffered a relapse.
In Landmark’s Self-Expression and Leadership Program, Renee decided to create a project that would assist others in educating them about depression and reducing the risk of relapse for depressed people. She created a seminar titled “Living Beyond Depression” which was held in Kansas City the night of June 24.
The seminar had a $10 suggested donation, with proceeds going to the Mental Health Association of the Heartland. The subtitle of the seminar was Seven Daily Lifestyle Choices to Support Wellness and Reduce the Risk of Relapse. A variety of presentations were followed by a Q&A panel discussion, which featured doctors, religious experts and other wellness professionals.
Renee now has seven upcoming Living Beyond Depression events scheduled for the Kansas City and Kansas areas. To find out more information, go to Roxanne Renee’s website.
Roxanne,
You are a Godsend! I got involved with what was then called est back in 1973 when Werner was quite active. I’ve heard him comment many times about the futility of throwing drugs (“medicine”) at personal problems. Depression, asthma, ADD. But none of those affected me. Now they do. Specifically my new wife. I am 70, she is 60. And I didn’t have a clue about depression apart from the agony of the death of my late wife. But I snapped right out of it. She suffers from depression and as her devoted husband I suffer the second-hand effects.
I’m stuck. And when I came across your website, there was the answer. Are you still active with your seminars? Do you know of anyone here in New York City who is treating depression with the technology that Werner developed?
Many thanks,
James Lewis
