Depression is gone: I’ve never been so happy!
Marleen (38)
My life has been full of struggles and stressful experiences – accidents, losses, and other hardships, which led me to depression. I had seen psychologists and participated in various alternative therapies, but I couldn’t find any help. I recall feeling even worse after one session than I did before it. Childhood memories were brought up, and it was emphasised that I was a damaged soul from a broken family, but they didn’t know how to heal those wounds. It felt as if there was no hope at all.

I contemplated suicide. I had chosen a place and decided how I would do it. I was in anguish. I couldn’t bear to think, I was exhausted from living and feeling. Accidents had befallen me, various people had left my life, I was made redundant from work, and I felt I was at an absolute low point. I was plagued by problems and mentally exhausted. I couldn’t manage to deal with anything anymore. I suffered for six months before I found biofeedback therapy.
After the first MER Biofeedback® therapy session, I felt able to think clearly and calmly again.
Before, it was as if I had ten thoughts at once every second. The tension was gone, and I felt freer.

Before the therapy, I had difficulty falling asleep and often cried myself to sleep. After the first session, I was able to sleep peacefully again. The effect was immediate!
When I attended the second MER Biofeedback® therapy session, I already felt significantly better, and even before the next session, others noticed that I was glowing. I had changed. Now I can say that I am a completely different person. I’ve never been so happy! Despite having little, being single, living in a rented apartment, and going to work, I am just happy!
Additionally, I feel more courageous, talkative, and open by nature. I used to feel embarrassed speaking in front of others, my face would turn red, and my voice would shake, but now I stand with confidence. I feel proud of myself! The previous dark thoughts are gone, and the depression has vanished. I walk around smiling, sometimes even spinning in the street because I’m so happy!
Thanks to the therapy, I have become aware of the patterns that had ruled my life until now, and I can now act to avoid repeating these old patterns. I will continue with therapy because I feel the positive effects will persist and the changes will continue to happen.
I recommend MER Biofeedback® therapy to anyone who feels they need support, especially those who don’t want to discuss their negative life events or traumatic experiences. In other therapies, you need to share your story. In MER Biofeedback® therapy, you don’t have to do anything – just listen to the therapist.
