Depression Quote by Alice MIller, The Drama of the gifted child
““An emotional outbreak may follow, accompanied by strong, legitimate reproaches, and only after this outbreak will a new link with repressed experience become clear and new vitality felt. As long as these reproaches are directed toward those who are responsible for harming us, a great relief is the result. If, however, they are unjust, or transferred onto innocent person, the depression will continue until fill clarification becomes possible.””
