Depression is a challenging and often complex form of stuckness that deserves our attention, as depressive patterns of thought and behavior are always personally limiting, and can become more severe and self-reinforcing over time. My approach to treating depression is multifaceted and addresses stress (an initial trigger for depression in 80% of cases) as well as patterns of thought and behavior. In all cases, primary focus is given to what I refer to as the enemies of depression: connection, attention, and movement. Most of my clients experience some relief from depression in as little as 2-3 sessions. For more information, contact me using the links here, or visit ChangeTalkTherapy.com.

Just like anger depression is your body's way of saying something is wrong. Many say depression it is anger turned inward. My idea is that depression is telling you to take care of yourself, rest, slow down, cocoon, look inward, cry. Wouldn't it be a gift to allow these things to take place in your body and soul? Though many people fight depression or judge depressed people as just lazy or unmotivated. How different would it be if we learned to honor depression and work through it and not against it?

Depression is a debilitating illness that takes many forms. Here at Naya Clinic, we have seen it leave the strong feeling helpless and the passionate lose their fire. Depression—like grief—is characterized by sadness or a lack of motivation. However, grief is an overwhelming—albeit normal—emotional response to the tragedies of life, whereas depression persists beyond—or even in the absence of—these tragedies. Depression often takes the joy from once-pleasurable pastimes and can fill its victims’ heads with negative self-talk, or—at its worst—even cause thoughts of ending their lives.

We often feel depressed when the life force within us has been blocked with old hurts, unexpressed anger and grief. In therapy, we can work to rewire what your nervous system does in the face of difficult experiences, so that you have more options for skillful expression. Sometimes we unknowingly contribute to our stuckness by trying to protect ourselves from more hurt. These protective strategies that were once useful, may now hold us back. I can help you recognize what has been blocked, how this keeps you from life and how to release the patterns that keep you stuck.

Depression is a complex topic. There are a myriad of reasons you may be feeling depressed, there are countless ways in which it manifests in our lives and the length of time we may be dealing with it can be anywhere from minutes to a lifetime. Given the complex nature of depression, there are as many theories for dealing with it as there are reasons for its presence in our lives. With that in mind, my approach is to find out what is going on and what precipitated the depression. Is it situational (lost a job, relationship, loved one) or perhaps more organic (it's physiological and may require medication)? I use empathy, skill building, emotion regulation and EMDR to restore balance.

Depression can be nothing short of crippling. Never being able to get out of bed. Telling people you love that you are fine when you are not. Feeling like no one understands. Other people can't relate to you anymore. Feeling along when you are surrounded by people. Depression can affect anyone. Doesn't matter who you are, where you are, what you have, who you have, what you have accomplished, or what you believe. You can't suck it up, power through, get tough, and a bunch of other sayings or clichés that mean nothing. Depression takes no prisoners. It does not discriminate. Depression is the great equalizer for everyone. However, you do not have to suffer with depression.

Children ages 4 through 16 may be experiencing signs of depression, including extreme sadness, irritability, suicidal ideation or attempts, self-harm and are showing less desire to complete activities they once enjoyed. This can be impacting them at home, in school, with friends, or in general. Counseling/psychotherapy sessions often incorporate play-based, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral strategies.

Symptoms of depression generally include difficulty sleeping, not enough energy, sometimes not eating or overeating, feeling down or irritable or sad, feeling little or no self worth, and sometimes even having suicidal thoughts. Therapy for depression has to do with first understanding what the depression is about. In our society many people don't even know how to ask questions about that. Additionally, most of us are influenced by factors that are outside of our conscious awareness, but they too need to be understood. The next step has to do with healing. Healing is a bit more complicated than this space allows, but has to do with letting go of old issues that no longer apply.
