Often the sense of hopelessness, the inactivity, isolation, sleep and eating issues, and sadness associated with depression benefit from work in therapy, where clients can explore the thoughts associated with these symptoms, and can work to manage or change them. Often negative core beliefs about oneself, learned in the past, can be roadblocks to allowing the depressive symptoms to ease. Working on these can lead to a sense of empowerment and to change. Overwhelming feelings benefit from being heard and understood. Sometimes a diagnosis and medication are required to assist in the therapy process. I refer to a physician for medication, if you and I think that is necessary.

Depression is a sadness that accompanies us wherever we go stealing our experience of happiness and joy. Others often do not understand that depression has changed our vision of a colorful, vibrant world to one of varying shades of gray. Depression can make tasks that were once completed without much thought like taking a shower, brushing one's teeth, or even getting out of bed, feel like an overwhelming challenge.

Talk therapy is the hope of many individuals struggling with mental health. After clients acquired enough awareness of self and insights about their past, they commit to engage in different practices and perspectives, expecting to complete the healing process. However, research has shown that more often than not – a single approach is just not enough. Trauma and other adverse experiences affect the brain deeply in many regions. There are many brain structures affected, with neuro-networks firing and wiring together, communicating in millions of patterns, most often by the fear-driven brain. The survival mechanism in your brain creates a fear-based reality that interferes with life.

Depression can make you feel sad, hopeless, unimportant and often unable to live a normal life. It is a very real illness that can significantly impact your life.

Depression is the most common mental-health disturbance worldwide and falls within a wide continuum of severity. There is an equally broad range of causes, including grief and loss and absense of a supportive community. Some believe it is biological.

My approach is to recognize the life experiences that have contributed to depression and to help address directly the feelings underneath. To find relief and hope is sometimes a matter of learning to dig deeper into feelings with help from a psychotherapist.
