Depression Counselling in Winnipeg, MB.

If you are suffering from depression it can feel like being imprisoned in a black hole of unrelenting despair. It is all consuming and overwhelming. Depression inflicts a destructive toll on your relationships with family, friends and work colleagues. Therapy can help you resolve the pain and hopelessness of depression. You can be released from the grip of depression and reclaim your life. As you progress in counselling you can start to feel life flowing through you as you reengage with friends and family.

Depression can be deeply painful, robbing you of energy, motivation, and hope. It creates a negative view of life, your self, and your future. It typically disrupts sleep patterns, appetite, emotions, and your thinking ability. I use the clinical practice of cognitive behavioural therapy to help people regain healthy control over their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and reclaim a sense of influence over their life style and life situation's. Coaching you to refocus, set small daily goals, celebrate your successes, and learn new behavioral and thinking skills can take time but the good news is that once you have acquired these skills you have them for life.

When struggling with depressed moods, everything feels heavy and you lack a sense of meaning and purpose. Even the most simple tasks can feel impossible. If you find yourself turning to alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours to cope with depressed moods, there is a way out. I help clients with addictions overcome the depressed moods causing them to turn to substances or addictive behaviours to cope. Everyone is different, so I work with you to develop a plan that fits your unique situation. If you are unsure where to start, send me a message. If I'm not the right fit, I can connect you to resources that will allow you to start getting help today, without having to wait.

Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living. More than just a bout of the blues, depression isn't a weakness and you can't simply "snap out" of it. Counselling provides support, problem solving skills, and enhanced coping.

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at kevin@kevinflemingphd.com.

From time to time, life circumstances may impact our positive well-being. We may feel less motivated, tired, angry, and/or sad. We may experience difficulty enjoying activities with family and friends. Seeking counselling may even be difficult, and even scary. In a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment, I will work together with you to explore the feelings, establish goals, and utilize strategies that teach self-awareness, positive thinking, and body awareness to help you on your journey of healing and personal discovery.

Everyone feels down at times, but depression can permeate all areas of life for long periods of time. Deep sadness, loss of hope, feelings of worthlessness, lack of motivation, feeling overwhelmed can coincide with physical symptoms of loss of energy, sleep problems, loss of appetite, weight gain/loss, and illness. In therapy, you will begin to understand the issues contributing to depression and learn ways to increase positive feelings through physical, emotional, and spiritual methods.

It can be easy to lose sight of hope and agency at times in our lives. Depression is often seen as the manifestation of this experience of helplessness and hopelessness. I work with clients to slow down and learn to better tolerate being present to their experience-not just the pain and grief, but also the possibility and purpose. Depression tends to hold our attention in the wrongs of the past or in the fears of the future-and yet it is only the present moment where we can really 'start from'. When we truly inhabit the here and now, we are better able to recognize and employ our capacity for making valued life changes.

Depression may be described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down in the dumps. Most of us feel this way at one time or another for short periods. Depression is also known as clinical or major depression. This is a mood disorder that will affect one in eight Canadians at some point in their lives. It changes the way people feel, leaving them with mental and physical symptoms for long periods of time. It can look quite different from person to person. As a counselor therapist I will be non-judgemental, empathetic and caring as I work with you to relieve your symptoms, increase your capacity and address relational issues that have been impacted by your depression.

It is a normal part of our human existence to experience times of losing our way, feeling some lost sense of drive, or purpose, or emptiness. When weeks pass, and we find ourselves without will; or immersing ourselves in empty vices; buried by overwhelming feelings, it becomes time to seek help outside of ourselves. I have found remedies differ from person to person, but therapy can help you lift up out of your pit.

Depression is a very serious condition that ranges from mild to severe, and there are many different approaches to finding relief. Research shows that the most effective form of treatment is a combination of medication and talk therapy. Whether you are someone who uses medication for depression or chooses not to, together we will work to uncover the contributing factors to your depression.

All of us experience some form of despair throughout our lifetime. Sometimes it can really make coping difficult. The high majority of depressions are situational, where the origin of the depression is related to an issue. I can help discover underlying issues that may be contributing. For all depresssion, our thinking gets affected. I can help bring perspective and help clients change their feelings by changing their thinking. I can help clients who can barely get out of bed, to slowly regaining a sense of normalcy in their life.
