Helping you to...lift the cloud of depression
Feeling down? Waking up exhausted? Lost the ability to enjoy life?
When you suffer from depression, it feels like nothing can ever help, and nothing will ever change… .
That is what depression does to your thinking. It makes you feel certain that you can never feel happy again. It drains the pleasure from things you used to enjoy, makes you see everything through grey-tinted glasses and eradicates hope and energy.
In short, depression is a parasite that feeds off your life.
But when you start to understand how depression works,
you gain power over it - and hope will start to sprout again.
The very first thing we will do in our session together is to ensure you understand why you are feeling this way. It has a lot to do with the levels of stress you are currently experiencing, which leads to physical as well as mental exhaustion.
In the following sessions, we will work together to:
-
reduce the amount of worrying and introspection you are doing
-
resolve any practical problems that are causing you stress
-
work on any relationship difficulties you may be having
-
help you balance your thinking so you are not plagued by negative thoughts
-
and, as you are starting to feel better, gradually introduce elements to your life that will protect you from becoming depressed again
