Sign up anytime and receive the course materials, in full, right away.
You'll enjoy unique videos, movie trailers, articles, self-tests, quizzes, self-reflection, cartoons and resources for further study.
About 2 hours for online materials. One more hour if you join the LIVE meetup. Time to finish depends on how much you want to follow up on links given and extra materials.
Part One: You can take a quick online test to see if you are depressed, reflect on what mainstream medicine would prescribe, reflect on successful stories of individuals who use the therapies we suggest in this course, and begin to chart your course for healing. Of interest: reflect on what is helpful to you if you are living with a depressed person.
Part Two: You can learn more about the foundation of health regarding sleep, nutrition, micronutrients, exercise and de-stressing. We cover some details on dosage of micronutrients as well as risks (if any) and outcomes. We consider the value of volunteer service and maintaining supportive relationships, ideally in a community of meaning.
Part Three: You will be introduced to a number of effective therapies that have proven very effective in overcoming depression. These work with light, sound, electromagnetic frequencies, energy, somatic experience, bio- and neuro-feedback as well as cathartic therapies and meditation.
Part Four: We look at the horizon, i.e. therapies now being studied that have shown great promise but are not yet fully endorsed by the FDA and are on the cusp of being legalized. These include micro-dosing with LSD or psilocybin and, under trained guidance in a therapeutic setting, using MDMA aka Ecstasy, Ketamine, or Ayahuasca.
IMHU can offer some partial scholarships. Click HERE for application. We ask you to answer some questions and send us an email. Keep in mind we are a not for profit, charitable organization here to be in service–but we also have bills to pay as we have overhead. We have no sponsors and remain independent of special interests; therefore we rely on course registrations to keep going.
