TEDx Talks
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

The mindful way through depression: Zindel Segal at TEDxUTSC
For me, being 41 and having depression and anxiety issues since I was about 15, I found an odd comfort in my depression. Sounds ridiculous, but I'm a routine guy and my depression became normal and familiar. I was miserable, but at the same time, I had to be drug out of my depressive episodes. The alternative to feeling depressed (and suicidal at times), while much better for me in every way, was new and a bit scary to me. It's tough to make much sense out of, I know.
lol the clock counting down is like.. a bit stressful no?
Mindfulness is overrated as a cure for persistent Depression. It is just one tool to use during the day.
Why Mindfulness more Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) become MBCT and not MBCBT?
Mother Earth is trying to get rid of Many
I've had severe depression for 45 years, I've tried mindfulness for 2 years. It hasn't made any difference. I think the only cure is death. I wish I could buy a gun, as wrist-slashing or hanging takes too long and is too painful.
When your mind is absorbed by depression..all you experience is the the effects of that mindset & you don't have the self awareness to introduce new thought patterns to change the negative image that you have of yourself.
Listening to Ekhart Tolle, I see…
i cannot hear what he is saying…
I had the most terrible days of my life 5 years ago. I believed if ever I have a new sweetheart I will return to who I am in the past but I was incorrect. After follow this depression therapy “fetching kafon press” (Google it), I have kept my depression away since that time. And I am delighted today since I am not going thru depression any longer..
I am one of the many individuals who got depressed and it occurred to me years back after divorce. But thankfully I discovered the solution to my illness which is “fetching kafon press” (Google it). Within weeks of reading your book and putting your advice into practice, my depression had totally lifted and my self-confidence began to return..
Seguiremos trabajando desde nuestro espacio para que la realidad sea lo que siempre debió ser. Gracias por vídeos tan instructivos.
This really good. Meditation helps me sooo much. Everyone should at least try it. It will help you.
This entire concept is based on vipassana meditation designed by the Buddha, in India, more than 2500 years ago.
this might be hard for people to follow but listen to it a few times if you have too. seriously, this speech, this is amazing. thank you
This is really tough to do when the hallmarks of depression are rumination, regret, shame, and anxiety.
Pardon?
When will the so called experts realize that depression is not situational. It occurs regardless of external circumstances. It is also not behavioural. No amount of therapy will cure depression. Meditation and mindfulness can relax the depressed mind just as it can the normal mind. But this doesn't cure depression, it just increases the time you spend away from "normal life."
Great video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you thought about – Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (probably on Google)? It is a great one off product for beating depression fast minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate at very last got amazing success with it.
I recognise the symptoms and then wait in a comfortable environment for depression like bad weather to pass.
Here's the thing. I bought his co-written book. I am anxious since I was 3 years old and it made a lot of sidetracks like attention disorder, socializing problems, depression waves. I don't have a lot of friends, I don't go to parties, I don't enjoy my youth. I am 22 now, and I want to take my life in my hand and LOVE it. The problems' root became from my mother, my aunt and their mother and I don't want to live my life full of negativity,agression and prejudice. I want to be confident and empathetic that doesn't feel like acting. If anybody could know that MBCT is a solution, let me know.
Nice Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you considered – Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing exclusive product for beating depression fast minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend Sam after a lifetime of fighting got amazing results with it.
I try so hard NOT to go down that depression highway, 'cause I really NEED to be strong right now. /ciao from italy
To much thinking starting to feel again yay. I was spiraling
Ugh…thank you I got some relief.
ugh
For those of you who wanted something more prescriptive than the (admittedly wonderful) book "The Mindful Way Through Depression," This group also wrote "The Mindful Way Workbook". After decades of depression, anxiety and self-criticism, this stuff has started to work for me. Working through this book took me longer than the 8 weeks specified in the title, but at some point I really started to get it! It's amazing when you realize that all your negative, anxious and critical thoughts . . . ARE JUST THOUGHTS. Daily meditation makes my mind much more flexible and able to return to the current moment when I'm not meditating. I've gotten to the point of welcoming thoughts that used to panic me, telling them, "Come on over to the present! It's nicer here!"
Mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy is what treated my depression most successfully
Mindfulness cured me of my depression
thanks for such a nice talk sir 🙂
