We all feel depressed from time to time. It's part of being human and a common experience we share. However living with depression day in and day out, feeling like we can no longer cope, wondering how we can even survive (or if we even want to) is certainly not! It is actually a way your body tells you that some part of you, the inner you, is in overload, and you need to seek some help. I can not only help you find just what it is that is weighing you down and stealing your joy, but also to loose it's hold on you so that little by little, you can be freed to not only survive, but actually thrive again. If you're looking for light at the end of your very dark tunnel, please contact me.

Depression is often associated with negative beliefs about oneself and the world, and EMDR can help to desensitize and reprocess these negative beliefs, leading to a more adaptive and positive worldview. Through the use of bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, EMDR can help to process the distressing memories and beliefs, reducing the intensity of the emotional response and increasing emotional resilience. By addressing the underlying negative beliefs, EMDR can help to alleviate symptoms of depression and improve overall mood and well-being.

Annette will provide a safe and comfortable environment to give you the freedom to express all of your concerns without judgement. My job is to help you identify the source of your depression and hopefully find solutions to the difficulties you have been experiencing. We will also explore negative thinking, self doubt, resentments and procrastination that can be fueling depression. Depression is also related to "issues in the tissues" which means that we need to look at your body system and take steps towards building daily practices that impact how you feel. My goal is to help you get on the road to living a happier and more fulfilling life.

There is no simple 'cure' for depression and therapy with the aim to address depression will focus on the unique aspects of an individual's experience. Through the provision of support and an environment of safety and trust, individuals can begin to explore their experience of depression, including symptoms, relationships, trauma and early experiences, etc., and begin to work towards growth and change.

I always first check to see if you have visited a physician to rule out thyroid or similar sources of depression. If depression results from circumstances, I use EMDR to desensitize these memories or experiences. I also use cognitive/behavioral therapy: Changing your thoughts changes your feelings which changes your behaviours. This also works in the reverse.

Often people can become overwhelmed where you might feel shut down low energy states or highly activated states. This is due to the fact that the nervous system is shutting down because it has very little capacity to deal with stress or emotion. Robin first works to effectively help to build the capacity to process emotions in your body. Then she titrates into the unprocessed emotion allowing it to process slowly and release out of the body .

Depression can come from a number of sources--significant loss, overwhelming challenges, physical causes (such as lack of iron, vitamin D, or Omega 3s), a touch with death, suppressed anger, or an inability to be who you truly are in this world. Sometimes we know the cause, and sometimes depression hits us out of the blue. I can work with you to figure out your depression and give you the support and strategies you need to feel better.

No matter how hard you try, you don't have the energy for the things that you used to love doing. When you bring yourself to finally accomplish an activity, it comes without the same joy and satisfaction that it used to give you. Depression is a common ailment that most people will face at some point in their lifetime. By understanding the process of depression, and finding small ways that you can improve your functioning ability, you can move towards living your best life again!

Depression can be experienced in a magnitude of ways and is often experienced differently by each individual. Symptoms may range from feeling increasingly irritable, experiencing a sense of emptiness and hopelessness, and an individual often will feel completely overwhelmed, losing interest in activities they once enjoyed. Depression may also be experienced physically. Physical symptoms may include, but are not limited to a lack of energy, problems sleeping, pronounced weight changes, and eventually, even serious illness. In cases of mild to moderate depression, there is an increasing amount of research supporting counselling as effective as medication in improving a person’s mood. Many clients have been referred to counselling by their family doctor when...(view profile to read more)

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.

Depression issues can both result from distress in relationships and precipitate distress. Support in addressing depression issues can have a signifiacant positive impact on overall relationship functioning. The fact that relationships are one of our primary coping mechanisms multiplies the potential distress when depression is present as it impacts the very mechanisms we use to cope.

My method for helping depressed clients gets them started by using behavioural activation, which stimulates the brain and gives them the energy to start moving toward recovery. In order to help the client recognize the harmful thought patterns that underlie their problematic emotional and behavioural states, as well as to help them reframe some of their skewed thought patterns, I also employ cognitive behavioural therapy.
