"Although I have fought with depression my whole life, thoughts of actually committing suicide were rare. Mostly, when depressed, I felt an urge to just not be obliged to live any more.
What came to me one Tuesday afternoon was a strange, vivid compulsion to die - more than just not existing - this was quite specific. I went straight to bed, exhausted by the overwhelming emotions. They seemed very present and very strong and, frankly, scared me. I called Ross, almost desperately, looking for his nuanced care and some kind of relief. Thankfully, he was totally available and, after discussing my state for a short while, we started a phone session.
When we were done I had a strange sense of total peace. Something had finished. Scary thoughts were gone, anxiety was gone. All that remained was lightness, calmness and a vague hunger.
What sticks with me, months after, is how strange this experience was. How the initial feelings of suicide were really strong, overwhelming and yet unconnected to any specific event or circumstance that I could identify. And then, how seamlessly the experience was resolved, how peaceful I felt at the end."

"At the end of May 2014 I was in an extremely dark place. A place so dark that all I could think of was taking my own life. My mind was fixated on it and I did not know how I was going to survive from one minute to the next. It was a horrid, brutal, awful, and painful way to be living. It was like my soul was pretty much dead, because I was certainly not "alive" in the sense of living my authentic purpose. I look back on those days and realize now that the only way I got through was friends noticed I was not doing well and they intervened. One of those interventions was to introduce me to Ross Goodine and set up a session for me to have with him. This session was life changing and looking back on it now, I don't really think I would be here today if I had not had this one session with Ross. I have to admit I was sceptical at first. I had not before heard about family constellation work and really did not know anything about it. However, I am extremely glad I took the leap and had my first phone session, because it has helped me so much. The one phone session lead to me utilizing more sessions with Ross.
For years and years and years I have had a tendency towards suicide and whenever something went wrong, I would either try to take my life or think about taking my life. I could never figure out why this was always the answer for me.
In my first phone session with Ross I discovered the reason why I have had such a strong tendency towards suicide. In that session we did healing work around it and my fixation on suicide diminished and then over a number sessions it got to the point where I didn't have that fixation anymore.
I have lived in a depressed state and with a mood disorder for many, many years. Through my work with Ross I have discovered that I have a purpose in this world and that I can live an amazing life.
Ross has an amazing gift and has noticed my intensity and large energy field. He is teaching me how to use this energy in a positive way, instead of using my intensity in a way that hurts myself or others.
One of the most inspiring things for me is to watch Ross live his life fully and use his gifts to help both myself and others."

"My 19 year old son was in bed for weeks and I had finally had enough. I knew he was depressed and it was time for him to live his life. When I confronted him he said the world would be better off without him. He said the only choice was to end his life because it just wasn't worth it anymore. He had dropped into such a deep pit of despair and victim that there was no reaching him. I took him to hospital - he was zombie like and just went through the motions on the trip. Unfortunately the hospital was of no use. They said they could do nothing since he had no 'plan' to kill himself and they could not force him to talk to anyone, so I was to take him home.
His energy was by this time little to none. Trying to solve this directly with my son wasn't working. I decided to do a Family Constellation session with Ross Goodine. Ross has an amazing ability to work with family dynamics and influences - even through many previous generations. My son's grandfather had committed suicide at the age of 19 - the same age as my son. My son's father also died, so he was surrounded by men who were dead. Ross was brilliant as I witnessed how he tapped into my son's energy and the family dynamics as if he knew them. My whole essence relaxed as Ross used his gift with this work.
By the time I returned home, my son had gotten out of bed and was out with his friends. He had not done this in weeks as he had no energy before. Since this session, his life force is back, he no longer has even mentioned ending it all. He is drawing pictures of tombstones with his father's name and many drawings fill his room. He gave me paintings he has done. His strong arrogance of a 19 year old has returned. He is fierce in his rebellion which, while it is still difficult as a parent, I see no signs of his thoughts of suicide. He is not threatening to end it all, like he was before."
Thank you so much Ross,

"Although I never had a plan or acted on suicide, much of my of life I had suicidal thoughts.
I worked with Ross doing a number of constellations about issues related to my family of origin. One day I realized that it had been quite some time since I'd had a suicidal thought. It has been at least five years since that realization. I haven't had any suicidal thoughts since.
Suicide was never actually a focus of the work I did with Ross, but it was certainly healed as a result."
