When one is depressed the range of thoughts and feelings encompass a wide spectrum. Sadness and despair might be pervasive. One can feel as if they have fallen into a deep dark pit where everything is covered in negativity and hopelessness. In this state, one can feel inadequate, discouraged, unable or unwilling to make decisions. In addition, guilt, shame, profound low self-esteem and loss of interest in relationships, sex, career and even life itself are commonly found. A variety of evidence-based tools, specific to the needs of the individual, applied skillfully at the right time, can dramatically lift one out of that deep, dark pit and help avoid relapse.

When supporting a client through depression, I help clients to learn to accept the difficult emotions associated with depression without avoidance or self-criticism, while focusing on what truly matters to them and taking committed action towards their values. We explore how the client’s story of depression has shaped their identity, creating space for them to reframe their experiences and uncover new meanings and possibilities for the future. Together, we work to understand parts of the client that may carry pain or negative beliefs, fostering healing and integration. Together, we develop a holistic approach to depression that promotes self-compassion, empowerment, and hope for recovery.
