Depression
When isolation and loneliness are your best friends…
Worthlessness…
Hopelessness…
Sadness…
Shame…
Guilt…
Crying uncontrollably…
The unhappiness makes it hard to get out of bed… and when you do, you don’t feel like doing much – probably because even the simplest tasks feel monumental.
When you have no compassion for yourself, it shows…
The heaviness is overwhelming, causing you to withdraw from life and your relationships. You disconnect because you don’t want to be a burden to them.
Friends and family try to help, encouraging you to “let it go,” “find a new hobby,” or “think about the good in your life.” But it’s of no use.
Your appetite, sleep, and routine are disrupted; you’re neglecting your health and hygiene in a downward spiral.
It’s no wonder you want to stay in bed rather than go to school or work.
Healing your wounds and finding a way forward…
Depression might have you questioning your sanity. I know it hurts, but I believe in you, and you’re NOT alone in this struggle.
Finding the root cause of your depression…
Understanding the root causesof your depressive symptoms can help in alleviating their current impact.
This knowledge guides our therapy process, enabling us to work together as a team to develop solutions and process the emotions associated with these root causes.
Exploring new perspectives…
In therapy, you’ll gain new perspectives on your challenges and develop personalized solutions.
This may involve thinking outside the box to creatively approach familiar obstacles.
Defining what hope looks like…
