“Depression: The Way In, The Way Out” is a deep exploration of depression and its complex, often hidden causes. Written by Dr. Simon Robinson, a seasoned clinician and patient himself, this book offers a profound, compassionate guide for those suffering from depression and PTSD. It delves into how societal pressures to suppress emotions, particularly in men, contribute to the disconnection from one’s true self, which often leads to feelings of numbness, isolation, and despair. Combining insights from psychology, mythology, and spirituality, the book traces the journey of depression, shedding light on its hidden mechanisms and offering paths toward healing and emotional recovery.
Dr. Robinson draws from his personal struggles and professional experience to outline how unexpressed emotions form layers of “heavy armor,” which can block feelings of joy and connection. Through transformative practices rooted in mysticism, spirituality, and psychological therapy, the book encourages readers to embrace their full range of emotions, confront their inner demons, and ultimately emerge from the darkness with renewed hope. This is not just a practical guide; it’s an emotional and spiritual roadmap to reclaiming the self, fostering compassion, and finding lasting peace.
