I work with a depressed nervous system by working with the body. Often we struggle to sleep, eat, or accomplish relatively simple tasks. Our bodies are stuck with the brake on. When our body thinks it is futile, out mind follows quickly thereafter and we begin to tell ourselves how pointless things are and how worthless we are. I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.

Depression is an interesting mood state in that there may be differing levels of intensity. What I have learned over the years is that before we have learned to speak, we are taking in everything around us through our sense of hearing, sight, and touch. Our brain processes the information when our brain isn't fully developed. We process the best we can and out of that we develop a core message about ourselves based on our early experiences. Many people develop the core message "I'm not good enough." Then we develop relationships with friends and intimate partners that reinforce that core message. We engage in negative self-talk.The great thing is, we can reprogram our message.

When depressed, it can be hard to find the motivation to get moving. It can be like a heavy blanket or fog is laying over you.

"How does a person complete a marathon?" ... "One step at a time." I help people develop the skills to run the marathon called 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.
