Setting the Intention to Heal

- In this video, author and mental health educator Douglas Bloch shows why the first step in mental health recovery is "setting the intention to heal." Setting the intention to heal means making the decision to get well--even if you don't know how your healing will occur.
Setting the intention to heal involves writing an "intention statement." This a mental blueprint of how your life would look and feel like if you were whole and well. The intention statement can be any length. The Important thing is to write your vision of wellness down and look at it every day, even if your healing seems like a distant reality. Focusing on your intention statement will attract the people, the circumstances, and the treatments that can lead you to your depression recovery.

I have PTSD and ADHD, and I’ve spent the last several months in the worst depressive episode of my life thus far. It’s made it nearly impossible to work and provide for myself, let alone my family.
I have a therapist who is very good, and a good support network. I’m very thankful for them.
That said, I stumbled on your channel last night and this is the first actionable piece of information I’ve come across that really clicked with me and made sense.
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing, and for all the work you do. It’s invaluable.
You’re very welcome. My book healing from depression: 12 steps to a better mood has a whole chapter on setting intention to heal. I believe it’s the first step in mental health recovery. If you email me, I can send you the chapter
I said to myself that i want to change my life and i really meant it so i often remind myself of the moment i made that decision.
Thank you Mr Bloch. You always provide excellent advice in a calm friendly tone. You have a special light that beams through 💫
I’m glad my videos have been helpful to you
Merry Christmas Eve to you and Joan and kitty 🐱. Thanks for all your hard work and devotion to your channel. It’s so helpful for so many myself included. God bless, happy holidays. 🎄 🌲 🧑🎄
Thank you
Your message and your voice are very soothing. Happy holidays, Douglas!
To you as well
Thanks for all the videos,very much appreciated!
You are welcome
I plan on doing psilocybin and TMS.. hoping one of those can help as I don't want to do ECT
Hi Doug. It has taken me a long time to even begin to get my feet off the ground with my vision statement. I've been on and off with this habit before and I find it to be one of the hardest to maintain. (For a few reasons). Today I finally started jotting down a few words, so that's a start. I hope we can have our video chat before you're off to Costa Rica.
Thanks, I will look for the vision statement. We may have to do our call after Costa Rica, as I have some medical issues I need to see doctors about before I leave.
Recently started listening to your helpful videos to get me back on track,many thanks Douglas for your sound advice and best wishes to anyone else out there struggling ❤
Great to hear my information has been helpful
Super helpful👏👏👏
Glad it was helpful!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. I am setting the intention to heal.
Wonderful!
Merry Christmas Douglas, thank you for all you do 😊
Thank you
Mr. Douglas, how are you doing? I've been watching your videos and following my own treatment for depression.
First of all thank you for your constant work and help to people who struggle against mental illnesses.
I understand that not everybody is the same, but I want to ask you something about the medicines you took over the years. Did you had to change your medications constantly? Did they lose their effect on you with time? I ask you because I had to change mine because it wasn't working anymore. I feel scared of having a new depressive episode (I'm coming out of my second in life) and I feel that one day the treatment won't be enough to handle the stress based on past experiences.
I also tried therapy a couple of times, but never found a therapist to really connect with. How important is this approach in the process of healing?
I have been using the same medication since I got out of the hospital in January 2016, and they all seem to be still working. Therapy has been an essential part of my recovery. I encourage you to keep looking for a therapist until you find one that you connect with. Sometimes it takes a while but it is definitely worth it.
😃🎶😃
Thanks Douglas and happy Christmas 🎅🎅🎅
Happy holidays to you, too.
I guess faith is something we have. But I guess we have lost. Everything about my healing has come from my choice to oersue something that is called faith. I don't know why I have faith. I drink and take cannabis to the extreme. Only bc I don't like myself. If faith saves me. Then when can I learn to love myself?. I am learning bc if God is for us and no principality can challange the love God has. Then I am going to have to live myself. Bc what good is it if my faith in him is truth. Bit what Good am I if I don't love myself. Thank you Douglas for this Christmas eve video post🎅❤️👍. Please can I wish you and family a very happy Christmas. 🎄👍🎅 🤶🙏🎄. Lots of love🎁😇👍x
In the same boat my friend. Have a Merry Christmas. It's tough out there for us all.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all things will be added onto you.
The kingdom of God is within you.
When you discover that you are not separate but one with God's love, that love is the core of who you are, then all things are possible.
I know you to be well David. I will hold a vision of you healthy and living a fulfilled God realized life. Be blessed.
That was a very nice affirmation.
