I am 55-years-old and am depressive since 18, date of my first suicide attempt.
Throughout all these years, I have been followed by several psychiatrists. They asked me to talk about my painful past, to say the least. However this did not prevent me to experience a severe depression at the departure of my daughter 4 years ago.
I had to stop working and was followed by several doctors and psychiatrists, with medicinal treatment (4 zoloft in the morning and 3 norset in the evening), and was even interned in a psychiatric hospital for few days. Nothing could curb my panic attacks and my physical and psychological sufferings.
During all these years of therapy, no psychiatrist wondered about my past beyond my being 14-years-old. No therapist found abnormal that I remembered almost nothing of this period. Most psychiatrists I consulted eventually told me I had everything to be happy, meaning I had nothing to do with them. Others accused me of putting myself under to much pressure, as if I was responsible of my fate. One psychiatrist almost understood the problem, when during an hospitalization, he blamed my 3-year-old behaviour. I burst into tears and left the private hospital thinking he understood nothing to my suffering!
Structural Analysis allowed me, with time and perseverance, to untie the nodes of a past I had occulted. Tuned to the messages of my unconscious, this therapeutic technique got me to discover or rediscover what my conscious refused to recognize: a restless, dramatic childhood. Since I began this analysis two months ago I finally have days of peace. I feel completely cured and have resumed work. By listening to my complaints and those of my body, this work managed to relieve and guide me better than any psychiatrist ever did!
