In recent decades depression has become pervasive. Not just a few blue days but all out depression. In treatment we have focused on a chemical cure. While this in itself may not be wrong, many, I among them, have come to believe it is insufficient. And so I come to helping with this challenge from a cognitive behaviour perspective and a search for purpose and place in community. Helen Keller said “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. The source of this overcoming is found in a renewed sense of self, purpose and place in the community. Come chat and we will find the "overcoming it" secret for you!

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.

This is an opportunity to speak freely about your circumstances and release pent up feelings, without having to worry about what others think or feel, and without receiving unwanted advise from family, friends or coworkers.
