Dr. Butzer's book, "The Antidepressant Antidote," is an excellent new resource for an integrative approach to healing from depression. Amy Weintraub Author of Yoga for Depression www.yogafordepression.com

I attended Bethany's Antidepressant Antidote workshop on May 15, 2010, after being on antidepressants, unhappily, for 7 years. I had tried several times, unsuccessfully, to get myself off these drugs that were tricking me into thinking I was sick. Each time, the debilitating withdrawal symptoms, which I mistook for the return of my anxiety, kept me stuck. Each time I returned to the Doctor, I left with a new prescription, for a better, stronger medication that would fix me. Dr. Butzer's workshop left me feeling energized and optimistic and gave me the confidence that I could make the lifestyle changes she outlined, and her personal story was the proof. I am now completely off antidepressants, and I know I will never need them again. Antidepressant Antidote Workshop Participant

Bethany, I just wanted to let you know that your blog today came at a great time. It was so very beneficial to me to hear you authenticate the path that so many of us are on, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that post. You struck a nerve of common ground, compassion and enthusiasm that honestly brought tears to my eyes. It made a huge impact to read your words today. I really needed to hear them, and to have that support. So thank you, from the bottom of my weepy heart today. Keep doing what you're doing, I appreciate very deeply your honesty and your clarity! S.

After reading one of your articles on positivelypositive.com, I really have benefited from your postings and your experiences that you generously have shared. I really love seeing you and hearing you speak about your journey because you manifest the reality that happiness is accessible to us if we decide we will prioritize it as an essential aspect of life, non-negotiable. But that you share your difficulties (in such a gentle and light way) also is helping me to shine light on the difficulties that still come up for me and that I have to work with. I need mentors like you to encourage me to stay on the right path! Namaste. H. F.

I just completed your 21-Day Stress-Less Program and loved it! Very informative and applicable to reducing your stress and taking charge of your life. Remember to take time for you every day. Thank you Bethany....looking forward to many more opportunities to learn from you. R. B.

The Antidepressant Antidote is a welcome solution to a North American Epidemic. Instead of masking depression with drugs, Bethany Butzer offers a way of addressing the core issues. She writes with compassion and a deep understanding that comes with having faced depression and emerged a richer and more aware human as a result of her journey. You will appreciate how relate-able and soothing the book is to read. It is packed full of hope, integrity and empowerment. Julie Daniluk RHN, Nutritionist and author of Meals That Heal Inflammation

Overall I really think I got a lot from your Stress-Less program. Thanks very much Bethany for all the information and for putting a course like this together. The fact that you keep it so affordable removes that excuse for not participating. And it is well worth much more. Your sincerity and compassion for people comes through with your messages. R. P.

I loved your 21 day stress less program! I liked that each day was different (i.e. meditation one day, guest speakers another, etc.). I looked forward to it each day even with my mixed up schedule of shift work. I learned a lot to use in my daily life to help reduce the stress. I carry the affirmations with me and read them as often as I can. I loved the meditations. It was a really great program and I would definitely recommend it to friends. Thank you for creating this amazing program. E. P.

Your 21-Day Stress-Less program really exceeded my expectations. The quality and diversity of the material was incredible! Identifying specific stresses and taking action really helped me deal with the typical feelings of hopelessness and overwhelm that usually accompany chronic stress. The info is presented in a very manageable and easy to understand format, and the variety of presentation methods keeps it interesting. It can be completed in a reasonable amount of time and the cost is VERY AFFORDABLE. J. S.
