Sadness is a common emotion. However, when sadness lingers in our lives, is long term, and affects our day to day life, then it is something to be addressed. I help clients to take steps towards reducing depression through related actions. Alongside this, I work with clients to understand how the depression is controlling them and what strategies we might consider to reduce this control. For example, clients often find it helpful to engage with others, challenge their thinking, consider their past positive experiences, and consider changes to their environment to begin to feel more and more positive emotions and less depressed.

It feels like you’re stuck in this deep, dark hole and can’t seem to get yourself out. You put on a smile for your friends and family, but in reality you feel empty. You don’t remember what it’s like to be happy and don’t find joy in anything anymore. You feel alone, but also can’t find the will or energy to talk to anyone. Therapy can provide you with a safe, supportive environment so you don’t have to go through this alone. We can explore where these feelings are coming from (past, present, or future) and work towards finding your happiness again. Email me for more information or to book a free consultation today.

Depression is typically an outcome of a current or past life event, or both. It might be due to grief or a recent disappointment. Depending on what we explore together to be the cause, we will work with action plans and strategies to set your life area in the direction that you want to improve. Further, if there are issues from your past, which is frequently the case, we will identify these upsets, identify schemas that you have formulated that impact how you think, feel, and behave, and we will work to improve your mood. Further, we may work through various worksheets and processes to understand what your thoughts and behaviors are and how these are helping or hurting your mood.

Depression can be situational or come in waves. When it arrives, it can creep in unexpectedly leading us to feel like something is just wrong with us. It's something we can have, not something we are. And just like any other illness, we can treat depression with understanding its symptoms and where is stems from. We can learn coping skills and tools to intervene the depression and work towards new hope. It can feel defeating at times, but I want to be there to support you to keep moving forward.

Treatment for depression is challenging. Depression can make you feel unmotivated and exhausted by daily tasks. However, overcoming depression/depressive symptoms is possible. If you are willing to confront your emotional experiences, accept your limitations, and practice gradual exposure, you will be more likely to experience relief. Like most treatments, treatment for depression varies depending on the individual. Speak with us about a treatment plan that's right for you.

Like anxiety, depression is the other side of the same emotional state of being. Depression does not happen instantly, it sets in over time and it takes more than medication to shake off the depression. It is like a person getting ready to swim in the ocean. Medication helps to reduce the size or height of the waves to manageable levels to help the swimmer swim through the water but it cannot get rid of the waves in the ocean of life all together. Counselling and psychotherapy with Julian D’Souza rsw msw helps you to swim through the waves and gives you certain skills to float, swim, snorkel and go scuba diving to ride through the waves.

I use CBT to help improve depression symptoms. We explore: causes, triggers and symptoms to work on. I use behavioral activation to help make a list of enjoyable activities that you can begin with. Having someone to listen empathically is immensely useful. Helping to understand early signs of depression is also essential so that you can intervene to help yourself as early as possible.

People struggling with depression are often battling negative thought patterns, low mood and sometimes behaviors that may include withdrawal, lack of energy and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets negative thought patterns. The premise of CBT is that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are influenced by each other. If we can reframe these negative thoughts, we can change how a person feels and hence change some of the behaviors associated with depression. All three therapies: CBT, ACT and DBT have been shown to help with mood disorders such as depression.

In many cases, I view depression as an "alarm bell" that tells the individual that there is something wrong in their life. Have they turned their anger in life toward themselves? Are they not living their best, or preferred, life? Is there something that's happened in their life that is getting them down, but they don't realize how much power it truly has? Depression can also be about learned helplessness, or having a sense, through experience, that there is no point in even trying at something. Such helplessness can come from feeling defeated, feeling significant guilt about something, & even from self-defeating 'self-talk' that an individual engages in (without completely realizing it).

Depression comes in varried degrees. Severe depression can be extremely debilitating, and can cause one to feel utterly hopeless. Depression can manifest itself biologically, and it can also be situational. Regardless of the kind of depression one may be experiencing, there is hope. One must remember that our psychology can affect our biology. Furthermore, our relational context has a direct impact on our ability to cope. There is no quick fix to depression, but help is here.

Depression is very foggy and envelops the mind, creating a shadow over every aspect of one's life. It is a silent struggle that can leave one feeling isolated, hopeless, and disconnected from the world. Depression knows no boundaries, affecting people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. It is not simply passing sadness but a profound and persistent emptiness that saps away joy and vitality. Yet, within the depth of despair, resilience and strength are waiting to be discovered. With support, understanding, and a psychotherapist's guidance, those grappling with depression can find a glimmer of light, reclaiming a sense of self and rediscovering the balance in life.

Depressive symptoms include deep sadness or hopelessness that persists for an extended period of time and has multiple impacts on affected individuals. It can greatly hinder an individual's capacity to engage in everyday activities. Fortunately, the effects of depression are highly treatable through therapy, which can serve as a potent remedy. Therapy can help you determine which negative or distorted thought patterns lead to the helplessness and hopelessness that come with depression and set realistic goals that enable you to enhance your emotional well-being. You will regain a sense of control and pleasure in life while incorporating enjoyable, fulfilling activities back into your life.
