- How can one transcend trauma and depression, and turn it into transformation? Doug Greene tells how he completed the journey, from overcoming an overwhelming desire to commit suicide, to embracing a life filled with gratitude. Doug Greene is an online media consultant, digital content producer and award-winning author of “From Grief to Grace” - his story about losing most of his vision to glaucoma, entering into a prolonged depression that nearly ended in suicide, then - thanks to a profound experience deep in the Grand Canyon - enabled him to find his way back out.
He has explored ways to more successfully manage depression, heal trauma and use the experience as a springboard to create a deeper and richer life: “Deal, Heal and Release.”
He’ll be sharing his personal experiences with an experimental drug that “lifts away” suicidal thoughts in days, learning how to manage depression through natural means, using practices to heal trauma and gain a deeper understanding of how to turn trauma into transformation.
Doug is looking forward to returning to the Wood River Valley, where he lived for two decades, working as a newspaper photo editor, magazine editor, freelance photojournalist and outdoor adventurer. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Your story is wonderful and I am so pleased you have found your way. I just want to wonder at the financial burden of your bucket list and various therapies and discoveries along the way. I don't begrudge you them by any means just comment how out of reach they might be to your average Joe
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT - aka Tapping) is a great form of somatic healing. Numerous studies document its strengths and ability to work through negative emotions.
Before he even got to the Ketamine i was thinking, he needs psychedelics, they will help him. They did me. Changed my life.
