Abstract Abstract: This study is about using applied psychology to change internal dominant focus to the positive to heal severe depression and create motivation for work. The four cases cited here were suffering from severe depression when they came for therapy. The methodology employed an eclectic approach of using hypnosis along with psychoanalysis, psychodynamic therapy, age regression, dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy. The aim was to use different methods of applied psychology to shift the internal dominant focus to positive. The objectives were that the person starts focusing on positive aspects of life deliberately; Restarts taking interest in daily living activities like studying, bathing, eating, working etc.; Starts focusing on smaller achievable goals that make him/her feel positive. The tools used were methods of deepening to access the subconscious mind and the Beck’s Depression Inventory. The techniques were integrated such that about 8 to 30 hours of therapy was required depending on each case. After intensive healing and therapy was done, they could achieve positivity through some minor changes in their thinking patterns. Due to inner child healing, the internal dominant focus changed from negative to positive. The results were positive. The scores on Beck’s Depression Inventory were of severe depression and reduced to normal in all the four cases. The discussion and analysis showed that while the unipolar depression healed completely, bipolar symptoms reduced considerably but did not go away completely, indicating that bipolar depression could be chemically influenced.
