Nachtgurke, I really appreciate your position that something has to come from inside. One of my mentors frequently says that the energy for the work (in this case unraveling depression) has to come from the client. It's such a bind because the person has to mobilize enough energy to want to change and then ideally it's a collaboration between the healer and the client. While meds can get people over a tough patch, I have certainly seen people use them as a way to avoid taking responsibility for their own healing process. In this space I observe JMG helpfully walking that line of offering guidance while refusing to cross that line.
