Depression Counseling in Maringouin, LA.

It's become almost a cliche to speak of depression as a very common phenomenon, and linked to 'anger turned inward'. While true, depression is also at times misunderstood and too quickly treated with medication only. While medication is very important, without attitudinal change, behavioral change, grief and resolution of past traumas that may have led to depression, medication is treating the symptoms only. Through recovery of one's past shame, depression, victimization and internalized self-loathing, depression can be lifted and a blue sky can awaken on the horizon. Lastly, we must keep in mind that many quickly defined situations as depression may in fact be 'dark nights of the soul'.

Depressed people have a hard time with motivation and energy levels and have trouble sleeping regular hours, have appetite problems and have lost interest in things they used to find enjoyment in. You may have tried drugs, sex, money, sleeping, eating and other temporary fixes to alleviate your emptiness. We believe finding your sense of joy comes from being fully aware that God loves you and that you have a purpose in life. Once someone knows this, spiritually rooted depression can be healed. Other forms of depression come from painful life experiences, negative belief systems and genetically transferred mental illness. Our services can help you find joy, peace and mental clarity.

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.
