Depression is on the rise in not only Canada but around the world. There a variety of reasons why this is - I have come to believe its the rise of a society that is busy and not taking care of themselves emotionally and physically. We are focused on the future and not enough on the present. Counselling allows a person to slow down and be in the present. People can then receive care and support as they walk through their feelings, thoughts and stories of their life.

It is really imperative to fully understand what your depression is like for you. This involves understanding your own thinking and feelings about your own depression and assessing how severe or intense your depression is. There can be many causes for depression and a full assessment would be important. Treatment would involve battling the depression from every angle possible - which would include: a biological, psychological, social, and spiritual (meaning & values) perspective. Much of depression is rooted in negative self-talk or thinking about self and learning how to become more aware of self-talk and thinking and learning how to use strategies to successfully address it is key.

In our sessions, we will explore the factors that contribute to feelings of depression and low mood and practice skill-building. We can learn to identify and shift the thinking patterns, accept and process our emotions, and detach ourselves from any expectations that may be keeping us stuck. We can also learn new ways to relate to ourselves and support ourselves through depression.

Its true - the commercial is right - depression hurts everywhere. Whether you are dealing with severe depression or just feeling down, therapy can help to cope or help eliminate the symptoms and hurt. Therapy is different for every person, however, often focuses on self care and feeling better about yourself - eliminating the "not good enough" feeling. One of the tools I use is cognitive behavioral therapy.

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.
