SEVEN EDGE PROGRAM FOR TRAUMA RECOVERY & EMPOWERMENT

If you're breathing, chances are you've experienced or struggled with feelings of dejection, hopelessness, or what society labels as depression. But what if I told you that depression isn't just a mental illness as commonly perceived? 


Depression - Not a Mental Illness

Revisiting the historical framework set by St. Gregory of the church around 500 AD, we gain crucial insights into the emotional and spiritual challenges people have faced for centuries. Originally documented as eight passions, these were simplified by St. Gregory into what we now refer to as the Seven Deadly Sins. Among these, Dejection and Despondency are particularly pertinent to our modern understanding of depression.

Dejection and Despondency:

Dejection was once understood as a disorder of desire, representing a deep longing for something lost or perhaps unattainable—paralleling today's experiences of loss through traumatic events. Such events deprive individuals of essential intimacy needs like acceptance, appreciation, attention, affection, approval, respect, comfort, support, encouragement, and security. These needs are foundational to our sense of self-worth and value. When they are unmet, it leads to a crushing sense of devaluation.

Despondency, representing a disorder of the will, captures a profound hopelessness about one's circumstances. St. Gregory's replacement of both Dejection and Despondency with the term "Sloth" — originally intended to convey a state of low energy akin to depression — has unfortunately morphed over time into a misunderstanding of laziness, obscuring the original meanings laden with emotional depth.


What if there's a deeper, more profound perspective awaiting your exploration? Join me on a journey as we delve into the Trauma Empowered Perspective, challenging conventional notions and uncovering a transformative approach to emotional healing.


SEPTRE and the Trauma Empowered Revolution:

In the modern era, the Seven Edge Program for Trauma Recovery and Empowerment (SEPTRE) has reinvigorated the understanding of these ancient terms. SEPTRE has recognized that the root cause of what is often diagnosed as depression is not a mental illness but an emotional state arising from unresolved relational traumas. Our approach, the Trauma Empowered Revolution, underscores that by retracing our emotional lineage back to these unresolved issues, healing can indeed occur.

Your journey towards freedom awaits. With SEPTRE, you can embrace a life transformed, leaving behind the burdens of unresolved emotional pain to discover a future filled with hope and happiness.


Liberation through SEPTRE:

SEPTRE’s discovery and treatment methods have successfully liberated multiple individuals diagnosed with depression. These individuals were set free within mere hours, a testament to the effectiveness of addressing core emotional traumas. Many of them have been able to wean off their medications permanently, never to return to such a dependent state.

Embrace Your Journey towards Freedom:

SEPTRE is not just a method; it is a scientific approach that restores Hope, Healing, and Happiness. It provides real solutions and offers a pathway out of emotional despair. The Trauma Empowered Revolution is here, heralding a new era where freedom from the shackles of unresolved trauma is not just possible but imminent
