Dear Libby,

“Any suggestions for dealing with depression? any books you could recommend?…. I love self help books on anxiety but no idea where to start with depression self help.”

I am also a user of self-help books and techniques.
I will suggest you to take a look at ‘The Healing Codes’.

Dr. Alex Loyd developed a technique after his wife Tracey “Hope” Loyd had severe depression for several years and couldn’t find anything to cure it.

She speaks in this video..

The full details of the technique is available in The Healing Codes book-
(https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Code-Minutes-Success-Relationship/dp/1455502006)

The book has everything you need but if you do not have the time and patience to wait till you finish the book (because, apart from the actual technique the book also explains the how/why of everything) and if you have the required financial capabilities then you can also consider Personal Coaching on this process, which is done by a Certified Healing Codes Practitioner. You will get all of that information from their official website (below). Read out the number of positive reviews on the Amazon link above to know how it is helping people.

Moreover, the same technique can also be used for all other issues that you mentioned too.
