Depression
1. A toddler, 3 years old
became extremely serious and sad, 6 months
prior to starting IPEC therapy. She stopped
smiling and laughing, her play became
limited, and her general behavior slowed
down till she appeared to be apathetic. Her
parents could not remember anything of
significance that happened in her life, at
home or at her pre-school, for the last
year. MT indicated a direct link to the
relationship between the parents. Parents
described their relationship as normal and
even though they had occasional fights like
every normal couple, they made sure, these
fights took place away from their daughter.
MT systematically indicated that the
daughter’s behavior is connected to the
parents’ relationship. Only then the mom
opened up to reveal that there was a severe
split between her and her husband, and the
latter was constantly threatening to leave
his wife. MT found out that their daughter
developed a belief in her mind that her
parents are fighting because of her
behavior, so she reduced dramatically her
behavior, trying by that to have them stop
their fights. Once this issue was cleared,
the toddler came back to her old smiling
happy child behavior within few weeks, even
though there was no any improvement in her
parents’ relationship.
