Editorial Reviews

Product Description

If you’ve ever experienced depression, you know how difficult it can be to recover. Even after treatment, the moodiness, low motivation, negative thinking, or communication troubles can come back. That’s because current treatment methods generally focus on a single dimension, when life is multi-dimensional and complex.

Feeling Terrific: Four Strategies for Overcoming Depression Using Mood Regulation Therapy presents an exciting new approach to depression recovery. In Feeling Terrific, authors Namir Damluji, Renee Robinson Sievert, and Michele LaPorte Downey help you to:

* Discover how your mind, body, and spirit interact with your emotions, thoughts, and the environment

* Examine the mood regulation concept and the four dimensions that influence it

* Explore biological strategies to improve your physical and emotional self

* Identify cognitive strategies that will change the way you think

* Recognize ways to interact socially to enhance your well-being

* Learn how spirituality can make life more meaningful

* Set goals to help you refocus, re-think, and rediscover a life of “feeling terrific”

More than 30 percent of today’s population reports having experienced some form of depression. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, Feeling Terrific should be the first step on the path to recovery and beyond—guiding you in setting goals that will help you refocus, re-think, and rediscover life.        

  (It was a groundbreaking work in 2006 when published and overviews the 4 areas of recovery that must happen for complete remission of depression: biological, cognitive, social and spiritual.  It includes the latest in research and the techniques actually been used with success in all 3 of our private practices. (Dr. Damluji, Renee Sievert and myself) for over 25 years. I will be having several booklets and manuals out soon with more details to come.)
Here is one reviewer's opinion:

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooray for Feeling Terrific!, November 19, 2006
By  Arline Curtiss (California) 
This review is from: Feeling Terrific: Four Strategies for Overcoming Depression Using Mood Regulation Therapy (Paperback)
At last a book that spells out the way mental health should be defined: not by the absence of particular pathological symptoms alone but when the whole person, biologically, socially, cognitively, and spiritually is integrated into a life-affirming homeostasis and "feeling terrific." This book goes beyond the idea of simply alleviating the symptoms of depression. This is an example of real mental health promotion which the medical establishment in the past has been slow to embrace. As the book points out, the mental heath field has been too focused on its achievements of eliminating depression when it occurs. There are greater rewards for being focused, instead, on preventing depression from re-occuring.

FEELING TERRIFIC spells out the ways in which a person can assess their own moods and the reasons for them occuring at particular times. It encourages the person suffering from depression to be an active participant in learning how to successfully regulate their own moods. Shows how a person can break old cycles of thinking and behavior, and, with a little practice, interject healthier ones. Wonderful for those professionals who will be able to expand their own ideas of what is possible and a boon for those struggling with depression as well. Well done. A. B. Curtiss, author of BRAINSWITCH OUT OF DEPRESSION: BREAK THE CYCLE OF DESPAIR and DEPRESSION IS A CHOICE: WINNING THE BATTLE WITHOUT DRUGS.
