Depression Counselling in Mulmur, ON.

Sadness is a common emotion. However, when sadness lingers in our lives, is long term, and affects our day to day life, then it is something to be addressed. I help clients to take steps towards reducing depression through related actions. Alongside this, I work with clients to understand how the depression is controlling them and what strategies we might consider to reduce this control. For example, clients often find it helpful to engage with others, challenge their thinking, consider their past positive experiences, and consider changes to their environment to begin to feel more and more positive emotions and less depressed.

Depression may be described as feelings of sadness, loss, or anger that interfere with a person’s everyday activities. Often our present-day symptoms including mood issues are connected to not being in tune with our needs, desires and wants. With increased self-awareness we can better understand our concerns, practice self-care and set boundaries, where needed. A short term, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that aims at identifying, recognizing and challenging unhelpful thinking patterns that lead to unpleasant moods and behaviours, and to adjust thinking patterns to enhance your mood.

Depression is a result of non-processed grief, which itself comes from a sense of loss. It is the mechanism through which the mind tries to “take it easy” and focus on the loss. However, in today’s society, we do our best to avoid it or even deny it. Sometimes, we take the easy way of medication so that we do not face this darkness inside. A successfully therapy accompanies the client through this journey of introspection and creates supportive environment in which the client faces the loss.

Depression is a mood disorder that can cause a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest that can interfere with daily functioning. Reaching out for help is a step towards wellness.

Living with depression can feel like a never-ending nightmare or being in a big, deep hole all alone with no light in sight. Despite what your brain might tell you on your darkest of days, there is hope for treating depression. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for depression is by far the best supported treatment approach for improving depressive symptoms and getting you out of that metaphorical hole. Our therapy sessions together will help you shift negative thoughts and become more engaged in life.

Depression can be very challenging but it can also be a doorway to a new understanding of the self. What ever the cause there are many strategies to address what can be a debilitating state.

Depression is very hard for clients to deal with as they don't often feel understood. We often hear how it is hard to get out of bed and that doing chores is next to impossible. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as well as narative therapy to help clients. We use a depression scale at our sessions so that we can monitor any changes and address those during our sessions. We believe in small steps and that there is hope for improvement and eventually a full life where the dark clouds lift and the sun comes shining through.

Can we transform emotional pain into personal growth and find hope? I can help you become aware of how certain negative automatic thoughts, beliefs and expectations contribute to feelings of anxiety and sadness. Often these automatic negative thought patterns are developed as a result of a past painful and difficult experience. They determine how we deal with loss, change, conflict and social interactions. Supporting you in identifying and understanding these thought patterns, can help resolve problems in maintaining relationships and establish a stronger sense of self-worth. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit for therapy.

Depression can seriously impair one's ability to function in activities of daily living. The prospects of recovery from depression are very good with professional support.
