Depression and Suicide
Chronic depression bordering on suicide, brought on by a devastating loss. Excerpts from an e-mail:
‘.…the other developments are also interesting. I’m still testing out my ‘new skin’, as it were. I feel quite different and it’s still hard to describe. It’s as if I have fewer limitations all of a sudden. Missing is the sense of despair and foreboding – I no longer wake with the feeling that I want to ‘end it all’. The benefits of this change are huge. I’m able to focus on the practical aspects of my life without anxiety and fear, and don’t see every obstacle as insurmountable, as I did before. I have ‘courage’, something I’ve not had in a long, long time. There had been aspects of my life I previously avoided addressing because they caused so much pain. To be able to look at these issues dispassionately, and begin dealing with them is an empowering feeling. I’m stunned that 2 half –hour sessions have had so much impact!’

Depression
I have tried all kinds of different modalities and nothing has been quite so life changing as this. The first session was very dramatic in terms of results. I mean literally life changing. Wow! Immediately my depression was gone. I felt so much more present to the world. It was wonderful and such a relief. Old habits I could not kick are gone. Disorganization is gone. My anger is gone. I have energy, vitality and Motivation. It’s amazing.
Depression
From a young mother who had lost a son and then a husband in tragic circumstances, she had been on anti depressants for 6 years. She wrote after a Mace Session “I feel like a new person, confident about who I am now, the depression has been lifted I feel as though I can handle anything that is out in front of me. I am a lot happier about life and living.

Drug Addiction
I am writing this letter to you to express my appreciation for helping me get through a troubled time in my life. Prior to doing a process with you I was very depressed, lacked confidence and was very lonely within myself. Whether or not I chose to admit this at the time is a different story. This process I did with you is about my usage of drugs. I really wanted to stop using drugs but did not know how. You gave me a key for myself to get me off drugs and since then I haven’t had the urge for even a sniff of the stuff. I just turned twenty and I had the most enjoyable birthday of my life with no chemical intoxication whatsoever and I feel terrific. I haven’t had any drugs in twenty days and I now know with my confidence level as high as it is I will never use chemicals again. Once again John I say thank you very much for your help in my life.’

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
I wanted to give our session a few days to sink in before I wrote you to tell you the results. First thing I want to relate is that is after our session, I had the FIRST consecutive 2 night in a row sleep I have had since the incident October 2001… I want to thank you again for your most generous gesture. Your ideas are rather revolutionary and it will take a while to undo years of believing as I have, but you are definitely onto something. If you ever decide to write another book, and get this out to the mainstream, I would be honored to provide a testimonial to say speaking to me from some, what 10,000 miles away on the phone, you did for me what Halcyon (supposedly one of the strongest sleep medications on the market couldn’t) and a laundry list of strong meds couldn’t do. I slept
nightmare free for 2 nights.
I once said early in this quest that I would sell my soul for just one night without the fear and hell that I faced when I went to sleep. I guess I didn’t have to sell anything. One important thing I believe is that there are no coincidences; there is a reason for everything. I hope the reason our paths crossed is that your research will be introduced into the psychiatric community and you are given proper credit for this. You could accomplish more in a few years than has been done in the last 100, all the while saving lives. After this, I now feel qualified to finally say it……..G’ DAY JOHN. Thanks for everything.
More said,
Oct 14 of this year will be 2 years since in a dark Georgia field I fought for my life
apprehending a man that had just beaten his wife. (Since then) life has been a day-to-day
battle. Yes I have had a gun in my mouth more than once, until my police friends took all
my firearms away at my wife’s request. In a 2 year period I never slept but out of
exhaustion every 2-3 days. This was in spite of being placed on various sleep meds
including Sonata Ambient and finally Halcyon, as well as a laundry list of anti depressants,
anti- psychotics, anti what-evers….
Mr. John Mace was generous enough to call me and with one session he accomplished
what all the pills in the world could not. I slept 2 nights in a row. I once said that I would
sell my soul for just one night that wasn’t interrupted by haunting reflections of the worst
night of my life. Well, I did not have to sell anything, just have faith…
…faith because a total stranger thousands of miles away in Australia cared for just 1 cop
who cared enough to do his job. For this I will be eternally grateful…
My life has been saved by the intervention of a kind man who happens to be years ahead
of is time. I trust that some controlled studies can validate his findings.

A lady suffering depression reported a year later after only one MEM session “I have not had the slightest return of depression since and I do not need anti -depressants anymore”
Thanks Rebecca QLD
Depression
I am writing to express my heartfelt thanks for my recent telephone session. I am amazed at how my sense of absolute DESPAIR and DEPRESSION has been completely lifted and removed after your telephone session. One minute I was back in the very worst feelings in my life and half an hour later I was watching TV with my wife and feeling completely normal. Incidentally I had felt completely overwhelmed several days before I rang you and in the blackest space imaginable, thank you so much,
Sincerely B.D. PERTH .
Depression and Anxiety
I wish to thank you for the wonderful changes in my life since having that session with you. Over my life I have suffered with depression and anxiety. I’ve tried many modalities to heal and change this condition, which has plagued me; counselling, regression, group therapy, attitudinal healing, breath work, bodywork, psychology, John Bradshaw family therapy and co–dependence. They all helped to some degree but the depression still reared its ugly head. After one session with you the change is so profound that I have decided to train with you and become a practitioner, as it is the only modality that has completely eradicated my depression.
Thank you with all my heart.
B.M.
Note: Good as her word this lady is now fully trained and is helping many others
Postnatal Depression
I wish to express my gratitude for the change in my health and well being since my session with you in early July. To give you a little background, I had suffered with Post Natal Depression since my first child was born seven years ago. After my second child was born two and a half years later I was experiencing severe exhaustion, panic attacks and anxiety. I was so bad that I was unable to cope with looking after the children and travelled from Melbourne to Perth , for help, from family, for a month to try and pull myself together. The depression, anxiety and panic attacks continued on and off for the next four years. I have tried everything from psychology, acupuncture, kinesiology and hypnotism to ease my anxiety. After my session with you I felt more confident and calm within. A lot of my anxiety was removed and I feel I can cope with any stressful situation over which I would previously panic. I also notice that my physical health and wellbeing has improved a great deal.
Sincerely, J.S.
