Depression affects millions of people around the world, yet for those who experience it, the struggle feels deeply personal and often isolating. While depression has many layers, one of the most powerful yet overlooked aspects is the internal emotional conditioning we inherit, absorb, and repeat throughout our lives.
According to Robert G. Smith, the creator of Eutaptics® FasterEFT™, depression is not merely a chemical imbalance or a random emotional pattern. Instead, it is often the result of learned emotional responses, early experiences, memories, and beliefs that continue to shape how we feel today.
Rewriting the Emotional Conditioning
Robert explains that many people unknowingly carry emotional programs passed down from parents or caregivers. If your parents struggled with depression, anxiety, hopelessness or emotional repression, you likely absorbed those patterns long before you understood them.
To begin healing, Robert recommends identifying and rewriting this emotional conditioning. This means revisiting old memories, observing how your body responds, and releasing the emotional charge that keeps the pattern alive.
“Depression isn’t who you are. It’s a learned emotional experience — and anything learned can be unlearned.”
The “Bad List” and Why It Matters
One of the simplest yet most effective tools is writing down all the memories, situations, and people that trigger the feeling of depression — what Robert calls a “bad list.”
This is not about dwelling on pain. It is about bringing awareness to the emotional files your mind continues to access. Once these memories are identified, they can be systematically rewritten and released using tapping and corrective memory techniques.
Balancing It with a “Happy Journal”
After releasing emotional pain, Robert encourages creating a “happy journal.” This journal contains positive experiences, good memories, things you appreciate, and moments where you felt safe, loved, or proud.
By repeatedly accessing these positive emotional states, you train your mind to shift from darkness to light.
Your brain learns from repetition — and you can choose what it repeats.
Healing Relationships: A Critical Step
Many people discover that depression is tied to unresolved emotional relationships — often with parents, partners, or influential people from childhood. Robert emphasizes that healing these emotional bonds is essential for lasting freedom.
This doesn’t mean repairing the relationship externally. It means healing the emotional imprint on the inside.
Tapping: A Practical Tool for Immediate Relief
Robert invites everyone to “tap along” with his guided videos. Tapping helps interrupt negative emotional states, calm the nervous system, and open the door to rewriting emotional memories.
Used regularly, tapping becomes a tool for shifting depression, anxiety, and emotional heaviness on the spot.
