Depression Counselling in Thunder Bay, ON.

Depression is such a terrible feeling........that absence of feeling anything. It's a dark place to get, and like most human experiences has a lifespan, particularly if we cast every vote we have to contribute to mobilizing ourselves slowly- getting the trajectory heading in another direction through our own small efforts. Depression deserves so much self compassion, and some challenging of those distorted thoughts depression loves to tell us are the truth.

Depression can leave us feeling hopeless and sometimes even the way our loved ones respond can actually increase our sense of isolation. In my work with clients experiencing depression, I focus first on understanding and appreciating each person’s unique story. Fostering a trusting and collaborative relationship creates an environment that feels safe to explore our emotions and paths to healing.

Sometimes men don't see depression as depression. It can just feel like your irritable all the time. You get easily frustrated and lash out at others. You start avoid the relationships in your life. You get home from work and you go be by yourself. This isn't helping though. It helps you escape the pressure of everything and everyone else. (Until the guilt pops back up later). You're tired though. And thinking about how to tackle this seems more exhausting. Let's start getting perspective on this so you can find where to go from here. You deserve to feel better. You deserve to manage your emotions and relationships with confidence.
