DEPRESSION PREVENTION WORKSHOP: SELF-ACCEPTANCE

DAY: Thursday, 29th, April, 2021
TIME: 8.00 p.m. – 9.00 p.m. (Singapore time)

“Based on my own personal experiences and my observations of depressed people, self-acceptance is an important unresolved issue. Very often, self-acceptance is obstructed by the master negative emotion -- the shame factor. Because of toxic shame, the depressed person is extremely reluctant to acknowledge or take ownership of the problem. In mental illness, when the patient is not willing to take responsibility of his/her problem, then depression is not deemed to be a problem at all. Is that true? Can self-denial be the magic wand to clear away our mental clutters? The answer is obvious. No wonder depression has been spiking year after year until there are probably more than 300 million cases in our pandemic-afflicted world today.
In my workshop this coming Thursday, I am going to share with you my own experiences about this sensitive issue of taking responsibility of my own depressed emotions. I am certainly not an expert on this topic. Far from it. But as a fellow traveller with lifelong depressed mindset, who has trudged over such a treacherous terrain, I can share with you some beneficial common-sense tips on how to navigate positively on such journeys.

Why do I want to do this? Definitely not for fame or for money! There is a season for everything in life. In my present season (now at age eighty), I only want to share my experiences to help others manage their depressed emotions positively so that they can live authentic and meaningful lives. It is my way of showing gratitude by sharing God’s unconditional love with others to make a positive difference in our broken world. At best, I believe my authentic experiences may give hope and courage for other depressed souls to open their hearts to God’s compassion and healing grace. God is the ultimate Physician who can certainly heal us of our depression.

May I have the privilege of inviting you to join us in our next FREE zoom workshop. Please invite your needy friends to come along. Our last workshop on the 15th April attracted about 30 participants – some from as far as UK and Australia.”

From one special dad to another

“I’m a special dad. For 14 years, I’ve walked through the journey you’re experiencing now.

The thing is that no one really tells you what to do, and old school men like me don’t really ask because we feel we have the responsibility of being the provider of the family come what may.

You may be starting to accept your child’s diagnosis, or searching for elusive answers with Google. But nothing can help you as much as being with other special dads, knowing you’re not the only one trying to make sense of the turbulence ahead.

As one special dad to another, this is what I think you should prepare for.”
