He says he has tried therapy and it doesn't work because the main reason for his depression is his dreadful state in life. After being a dynamic business man for years and working and living all round the world to find himself at 57 with no money left and no skills. He says he is embarrassed at the state he is in, and that everything now seems to be pointless.....he is beating himself up about everything, that he can't offer me anything etcetc, now he is running away and hiding from life, from me and his family. He says that therapy won't get him his money back, won't bring his business back or his farm that he also lost after a few years of drought.....he has a point really.
Therapy only works if you are open to it...
