Depression comes when you shutdown to your emotional experience; to your aliveness. Your motivations and desires are negatively affected. Our work will allow you to open to those emotions and return to a state of aliveness. This is accomplished by our conversation/discussion examining in detail how you go through your daily life. I will ask you to enhance your awareness with tools such as daily journals, meditation, and dramwork. We will then use this awareness to take you deeper into your emotional experience. This is a naturally self reinforcing process.

Depression can be experienced in different forms. Situational depression results from a particular life event or series of events. It is characterized by a sense of feeling down, dissatisfied, sad, lonely - emotions which are normal responses. Over time, the feelings resolve, after a period of accepting them and being able to move on. On the other hand, clinical depression does not resolve with time. It has the feelings of situational depression, as well as the inability to function adequately in everyday life. This inability is characterized by loss of energy, negative self-image, and perhaps suicidal thoughts. It is a medical issue which requires medical treatment and counseling.
