"There is only two ways to help avoid depression. One is to achieve all of your goals 100% of the time. The other, is much easier, and that is the way we will be teaching you here."
This philosophy is now tried and true with hundreds of great success stories coming from our programs. In the words of our founder, Wayne Parrott,
"All health issues are helped by learning to look at life through the bigger picture. We should think of life as a journey that is designed to help us learn lessons in wisdom. When things do not go the way we want, we learn to not take it so harshly, but to look for the life lesson in every situation. Learn to look at your own life as an interesting story that is constantly unfolding. Once we see wisdom in all learning situations we realise that just trying our best deserves a big pat on the back. When I was in kindergarten I fell in love with a girl in the first grade. I still remember her name; Francesca Davis. I was sure that if she did not love me in return, I would never know happiness. Of course when I look back now I think of it as the start of wonderful lessons about happiness with a big smile. Learn to enjoy working on your depression because it is an important event that is educating us on important lessons in life."
Note:
None of these programs are "woo woo", esoteric or steeped in mysticism. No mysteries will be revealed. It is all about finding the reality that seems to be eluding those that suffer from Depression. If you are so used to being depressed that it has become a large part of "Who you are" you may not be ready to take action and change just yet. If you are not ready to let go of being "the one with Depression", then this program will not work for you.
This is the key to the treatment at Fountainhead. It is also a condition of your visit. Please discuss this with our support team. If after the first two weeks of the program action and change does not seem possible at this time, Fountainhead reserves the right to terminate your visit and refund the difference of your payment less a fee for services rendered. We are only interested in helping those who are willing and ready to help themselves. We appreciate this is a strong stance. These issues require strong action and coommitement from both sides.
