Client Success Story | Updated: September 2023
Summary
A 23-year-old man with a long history of clinical depression (since age 14), no motivation for life, and no long-term goals, began working with GSR. Two years later, he moved to Thailand, became a certified GSR practitioner, graduated with a degree in psychology, built a relationship, and created a life he never thought possible.
Before GSR
- Diagnosed with clinical depression
- Repeated antidepressant use, no lasting improvement
- Struggled to get out of bed
- No sense of future, identity, or internal stability
- Planning to leave university and check into a crisis clinic
“I didn’t care about anything anymore. I just existed.”
The Turning Point
A comprehensive GSR diagnostic revealed a deep mismatch between the client’s spiritual level and the life he was trying to fit into. What appeared as depression was, in fact, blocked realization of inner potential.
The GSR process allowed him to:
- Access deep internal resources
- Understand his own structure and direction
- Begin daily self-work
- Restore life energy and motivation
2-Year Transformation
- Built internal self-support
- Completed 5 advanced GSR modules
- Re-enrolled and graduated in psychology
- Moved to Thailand
- Started private GSR practice
- Created income from three sources
- Built a healthy romantic relationship
- Reconnected with family
“Now I’m a GSR specialist, living the life I didn’t even dare dream about.”
Takeaways
✅ Depression isn’t always what it seems — it may mask blocked growth
✅ Strategic diagnostics change the game
✅ Self-work can unlock massive transformation
✅ Long-term expert support leads to stable progress
📌 This transformation didn’t come from new meds or lucky breaks — but from systematic self-work through GSR.
Full story
Case Study: From Depression to Life
When the first results of this long-term work began to manifest, I perceived it as nothing short of miraculous. It seemed so incredible at the time. Now, as I write this case study, I see it differently. A miracle is something that happens in some incomprehensible way. My actions as a GSR specialist and expert were not random. GSR, like a tungsten light bulb, consists of very understandable elements. And however unusual these elements may work, they operate in ways that are describable, verifiable, and repeatable. You screw in the bulb, flip the switch, and light appears. Despite each person’s uniqueness, you can find an approach to everyone and ignite their potential. The miracle is that GSR appeared and became accessible to a wide audience. But the work itself using GSR is not a miracle. Some people learn to fix cars. Others learn to fix people. But both have blueprints and a clear understanding of how things work under the hood.
At the time of our first meeting, Artem was 23 years old. Since age 14, he had been experiencing severe clinical depression. He was periodically prescribed medication and antidepressants. But no sustained improvements were observed. He had no constructive life plans.
“My life always felt ‘gray’ to me, I guess you could say. Even before working with a GSR specialist for the first time, I had already taken antidepressants several times and a bunch of other pills on top of that. But even with the medication, nothing really changed in my life. I got used to it and just… existed, I suppose you could call it. Sometimes I couldn’t even get out of bed. At that point, my mom had already started doing GSR. She suggested having a session or seeing a specialist, and I didn’t care anymore – do whatever you want with me. My life didn’t belong to me then; wherever the wind blew, I’d drift along, didn’t matter at all. Then Egypt (note: referring to a special project), basically with the same attitude. My motto at the time was ‘why not 🤷♂️.’ It wasn’t bad, but I said that about absolutely everything. Around 2020-21, depression hit me again. I wanted to drop out of university and check myself into a hospital (crisis unit), let them IV drip me and stuff me with whatever was needed so I could exist tolerably again…”
Diagnostic assessment became the starting tool in my work with Artem and immediately clarified some aspects of his consciousness structure, revealing things about himself that Artem couldn’t understand independently. After carefully examining all the nuances, we were able to establish a direction that not only helped Artem break out of his vicious cycle but also advance far beyond it.
The diagnostic session took place on May 10, 2021, during which the following points were clarified:
- Main focuses that Artem identified for himself
- Spiritual level and current focuses related to spiritual level
- Resource system
- Main barrier points
- Strategy for further work was established and necessary symptoms were identified
Before me sat a young man with a vacant stare. He had no particular hope for any major changes. He was planning to drop out of school, barely get by in life, periodically drinking antidepressants and “thinking about the noose.” That was his plan. But he agreed to his mother’s suggestion to come to me for assessment. This is how our two-year journey began.
There was no clear understanding of what results Artem wanted from our work. There was no desire to strive for anything good due to expectations that everything would return to how it was, everything was temporary, and everyone faced the same end. His hope in antidepressants was that he might gain some energy to figure himself out.
The sense of meaninglessness had been with him seemingly his entire life. Only in isolated moments did he experience bursts of interest in life; the rest of the time he was immersed in depressive states where his hands would drop and he lacked the strength to get out of bed. He found no internal motivation or meaning to do anything, to live. And while joyful and inspiring events could occasionally happen, when alone with himself, everything would return. School was difficult, and he perceived the world and events through a dark filter. Anxiety and discomfort from being in social situations were present.
Before meeting Artem, I had not worked with depression clients and only had theoretical understanding of such conditions. However, after talking with Artem briefly, I strongly doubted the existing diagnosis. Despite all the visible difficult conditions and descriptions of life’s meaninglessness, before me sat a person in a very resourceful state. Not suppressed, not broken, not without strength. Externally – perhaps. But not internally. Inside he was strong and had good control of the situation. The vector for realizing his resources had simply been chosen in a specific way, and the external result didn’t align with internal processes.
A comprehensive diagnostic was conducted, and in addition to the main request focuses, Artem’s system of spiritual resonances and resources was examined. Already at the stage of examining the request, I caught a deeper process occurring within Artem, and the diagnostic confirmed it. All conscious focuses were related to experiencing resonances of his spiritual level – the sixth.
Unfolding sixth-level resonances is complicated by the fact that the social field lacks appropriate processes for this. Deep internal unrealization determines external unrealization, the impossibility of fitting into society. But interestingly, people with similar spiritual levels are very stable. Their main focus is control and management. To unfold these processes, they can use various life processes, observing their development. These people are post-social, but due to lacking the right keys to themselves, they become asocial and direct their lives toward destructive paths.
Based on the diagnostic, depression no longer sounded like a verdict or misfortune. Deep inside, this was quite a manageable process, a tool chosen on the principle of “what else is there to do?” And indeed, there was nothing else to do, as there were no suitable personal properties and qualities (energies) for unfolding current resonances. In fact, the existing situation was adequate to how Artem’s system was structured. However, this didn’t align with some objective life parameters that he’d like to improve.
The solution was activating work with GSR Module 1. This was the first step toward unfolding the necessary resonances. The essence wasn’t so much specific changes or “fixes,” though that was important, but touching upon what was crucial for unfolding Artem’s deeper resonances – the process of self-research and self-management. Each time rearranging internal building blocks, Artem gained access to control and management processes of his system.
The next important process to address was social non-integration. Deep processes are good, but a person lives in society, has a body, needs to somehow feed and support themselves, and generally live their life pleasantly. But internally, Artem lacked clear goal-setting processes. Improving life or striving for something didn’t resonate with him at all. Everything society offered was uninteresting because it didn’t meet deep internal needs. Even his initially desired profession didn’t meet expectations. Everything most interesting, self-development, lay in post-social processes. But how to reach them?
The GSR system is unique. However a person is structured, whatever resources they possess and hidden potentials – all this can be unfolded simply by moving along the systematic flow. All projects, directions, and modules allow ecological and social unfolding of any potentials and resources. At the same time, with great focus on improving one’s life, improving relationships, growing in income and status.
Therefore, Artem’s next step was completing deeper modules: first 1PRO, then Module 2, RFO, and beginning work as a GSR specialist. Touching upon GSR specialist work began connecting Artem’s deeper resources, but in a social way, toward forming greater contact and engagement. In connection with this, his interest in the psychology profession he was previously studying returned, and he re-enrolled in university.
During our work, Artem completed several modules:
- Module 1 he already had, and the first step was introducing regular self-work practice
- Module 1 PRO provided access to deeper self-work techniques
- Module 2 allowed him to begin unfolding in the social field as a GSR specialist, touching completely new post-social processes, ecologically synchronizing deep resources with social integration
- RFO module opened the path to emerging from collective field influence and better unfolding and integrating post-social resources into the collective field
- Subsequently, Module 1+ was also added
An important direction where another focus was directed was improving Artem’s life parameters. The starting point was quite uncomfortable: living with parents and difficult relationships with them, no personal income, no personal life, heightened anxiety. Over two years, Artem managed to change much:
- Obtained 3 income sources and grew his earnings from $0 to $1,100 monthly
- Finished university and received his psychology degree
- Moved to Thailand
- Got his driver’s license
- Substantially improved relationships with parents
- Lives with his beloved girlfriend, building relationships and future plans
But most importantly, Artem stopped avoiding contact with himself. His life began filling with happiness, pleasure, satisfaction, a new social circle appeared, and he’s surrounded by interesting people.
It’s worth mentioning that the entire journey wasn’t completely smooth. But thanks to deep expert work, we managed to analyze and work through many barriers and resistance patterns. Even with the desire to change something, a person faces numerous unconscious scenarios that obstruct this. Of course, each of us would like to move in some ideal way and easily and simply restructure in any direction, but real practice shows that a person’s unique system configuration significantly influences the speed and quality of changes. However, with trust in the system and openness to systematic flow, for example through expert support, a person’s growth and advancement effectiveness increases many times over.
How much time would Artem have needed to achieve these changes without expert support? Without that initial diagnostic? Would he ever have been able to fully access the new possibilities that GSR provides, much less master them independently? Possibly it would have taken an entire lifetime. But in any case, it would have been some other life, not the one Artem is enjoying now.
Subsequently, we conducted another important diagnostic for Artem, during which we were able to see his deep potential and ways to unfold it. But that’s already another stage, and everything depends on Artem’s own choice and readiness to change and grow further.
For me, this was an extremely interesting experience of long-term work with a person having a 6th spiritual level. This level is complex in itself. In this case, a journey was made from depression and meaningless existence to a happy life, reorientation toward constructive steps in reality, creating relationships, completing university, obtaining a new profession occurred. A path from an empty point to a fulfilled life. Now he has arrived at a future that didn’t feel possible for him, and his future from today onward will increasingly diverge from that original one laid down in him from birth.
Often people with post-collective consciousness find it difficult to find and realize themselves in society according to their deep values, and then most lose any motivation to live or get drawn into asocial processes, letting life go downhill. With GSR’s help, a completely different vector was manifested for Artem.
But you should have seen his face glowing with happiness when he shared his new states that he managed to access. And not just access, but realize that this is his life. Completely different. One he didn’t even dream of 2 years ago or ever before. And which turned out to be possible for him and became his reality.
“…Mom suggested going for a diagnostic with Ekaterina Dang. I resisted for some time – what’s the difference, it’s all nonsense and I had already decided I’d check into the hospital. But I agreed, and at the meeting she said something I usually didn’t hear from shrinks. I don’t remember exactly, but I think I even came to some different desire of my own – not the hospital, but to go to the mountains and live there independently. For some reason she took me into free support, I was surprised because I wasn’t even needed by myself. Actually, after that I took academic leave and went to live in the mountains, where I began working on myself with the GSR method, studying myself. With Ekaterina’s gentle guidance, I started helping another GSR specialist manage their schedule and clients for money.
Now I’m a decent GSR specialist, I’ve been working with people for two years. I managed to move to Thailand with some adventures and plan to continue in this direction. I became more stable, self-sufficient. I finished my studies already in Thailand and got my diploma, though initially I wasn’t sure I’d finish anything there. I started getting pleasure from life and suffering less. I found myself and study myself with taste. Now I independently pay for expert support.
I was probably more my own enemy before, but now it’s different.”
Such work gives hope to many people who can’t figure out and understand what’s wrong with them. They strive to live like everyone else, do everything right, but can’t find something very important about themselves in this world. And this doesn’t necessarily relate to spiritual level peculiarities. Each person is unique, but not knowing how to approach themselves, people spend years of life trying to understand what’s truly important to them and how to effectively achieve it. GSR opens the widest possibilities for everyone, both in independent self-knowledge and in working with numerous specialists.
