Speaking of Depression with Amy B. Scher
Episode #11 / Season Two
On this podcast we are speaking about healing from depression with award winning author Amy B. Scher. Amy is an energy therapist and teaches people how to release emotional baggage so they can become their happiest and healthiest selves. In her book How to Heal Yourself From Depression When No One Else Can: A Self-Guided Program to Stop Felling Like Sh*t, Amy offers self-application techniques to help us heal ourselves. If you or someone you love suffers from depression and you’ve tried everything, take a listen to my conversation with Amy and see if something she offers could work for you. The Alternative Tapping Technique works for me!
Quotes from Amy B. Scher:
I truly believe love speaks to us in so many ways, but really when we are together. Sometimes we echo it for each other.
What I see more is people missing connections to themselves.
Even though medications and therapies are getting better, depression is getting worse.
There is this unseen aspect of ourselves which is the core of who we are and that is the part that I see people sort of lose their tether to – the core of who they are.
All of my techniques are not done by me. I am not a healer. I am somebody who teaches people how to use techniques to heal themselves.
One of the techniques that I use are various types of tapping.
The reason we want to move energy out of the body is because we all have an energy system or an energy body that is interlinked or intertwined to our physical body. And so when we are feeling symptoms in our physical body, research has shown that energy imbalances can be
detected in the energy body long before physical symptoms come up. Which means they could be the root of the issue.
When we clear energy blockages from various parts of the body we are clearing energy, that if left there, may eventually or may already be, affecting the organs, muscles and glands in the area.
I had my own very long decade long healing journey from Lyme disease & auto immune disease. I had all kinds of things. That’s what brought me energy work.
I think there has been this huge shift in the past decade from “We don’t know what that is, it sounds too crazy” to “Wait we’re really now understanding that when something goes wrong in the immune system and the nervous system and the digestive system that stress has an impact.
I came to this work as a last resort.
We come to ourselves as a cure last.
I did run all over the world chasing a cure only to find out that I carried it all along.
You can’t exclude yourself from the healing.
The reason you’re feeling good is tapping can actually lower cortisol levels so it can actually lower that stress hormone by a significant amount.
When I was going through my own experience with depression and anxiety and chronic illness and just feeling so overwhelmed, you know what freaks me out more than anything? That when I was freaking out I would have to wait for my doctor to call me back.
Just knowing you have the tools and techniques to help yourself is hugely supportive to the physical body and to the mind because you don’t feel alone.
