When depression takes over, saps all color from life, drains passion from relationships and interest in activities, takes you by the throat, squeezing your chest, deadening your limbs, making it difficult to breathe or move, I hear a cry for the authentic being within to be truly seen, heard, loved, and accepted.

Life is sad sometimes. For some, the sadness takes over and we become depressed. Depression is emotional, physical, mental and spiritual. To get better we need to address as many of the causes as possible. I teach people to challenge and re-think the beliefs that lead to depressed mood. Sleep, exercise and nutrition are important as well. The more one is depressed, the easier I think it is to stay depressed. Therapy that helps make dramatic changes and helps the person maintain the change is key. I have seen people who had been on antidepressants for years and are still stuck in depression get better in a matter of 4 months with Cognitive Behaviorial Therapy and Neurolinguistic Programming.

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.

My work focuses on facing depression while not villainizing it. I pay particular attention to both your life story and who you are here and now. Through this we can learn to work with our emotions and find new ways of dealing with the messiness of life.
