Psychotherapist and meditation teacher Michael Masani draws on cutting edge neuroscience and 30 years of clinical practice to explain how anxiety causes the neurological dysfunction that is depression.

Talk therapy, anti-depressants and electric shock therapy have not helped his condition. His illness is severe and long lasting.

Michael is taking psychotherapy in a new direction, engaging directly with the subconscious mind using voice-guided meditation, story and pattern recognition. As Michael explains, healing is a function of the emotional brain and occurs within the subconscious realms.
