Depression Counselling in Stonewall, MB.

It is a normal part of our human existence to experience times of losing our way, feeling some lost sense of drive, or purpose, or emptiness. When weeks pass, and we find ourselves without will; or immersing ourselves in empty vices; buried by overwhelming feelings, it becomes time to seek help outside of ourselves. I have found remedies differ from person to person, but therapy can help you lift up out of your pit.

In doing depression counseling, I help my client to externalize depression from themselves. By switching their perspectives on viewing depression relationally, they could make their own choice to end their relationship with depression. I may encourage my client to imagine how it feels to terminate such a relationship in the therapy process. At the same time, I assist my clients in planning what they need to equip themselves to be strong enough to stand on their own feet rather than being depressed.

If you are suffering from depression it can feel like being imprisoned in a black hole of unrelenting despair. It is all consuming and overwhelming.

It can be easy to lose sight of hope and agency at times in our lives. Depression is often seen as the manifestation of this experience of helplessness and hopelessness. I work with clients to slow down and learn to better tolerate being present to their experience-not just the pain and grief, but also the possibility and purpose. Depression tends to hold our attention in the wrongs of the past or in the fears of the future-and yet it is only the present moment where we can really 'start from'. When we truly inhabit the here and now, we are better able to recognize and employ our capacity for making valued life changes.

Depression can be deeply painful, robbing you of energy, motivation, and hope. It creates a negative view of life, your self, and your future. It typically disrupts sleep patterns, appetite, emotions, and your thinking ability. I use the clinical practice of cognitive behavioural therapy to help people regain healthy control over their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and reclaim a sense of influence over their life style and life situation's. Coaching you to refocus, set small daily goals, celebrate your successes, and learn new behavioral and thinking skills can take time but the good news is that once you have acquired these skills you have them for life.

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.

All of us experience some form of despair throughout our lifetime. Sometimes it can really make coping difficult. The high majority of depressions are situational, where the origin of the depression is related to an issue. I can help discover underlying issues that may be contributing. For all depresssion, our thinking gets affected. I can help bring perspective and help clients change their feelings by changing their thinking. I can help clients who can barely get out of bed, to slowly regaining a sense of normalcy in their life.
