Gain wisdom through understanding the pain of our struggles
If you are overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, you may not know what is happening to you. It’s possible that you have started to question the purpose, direction, or meaning of your life. Even though you interact with others throughout the day, you may still feel empty and lonely inside and out. It may take all the effort and energy you have just to complete the smallest tasks like household chores. Even when your friends ask you for a favor, you may not have the energy or desire to help because you feel dragged down by the burden of your sadness.
One out of every ten Americans struggles with mild or moderate depression symptoms. While this is a common ailment, there are many causes for depression, such as a crisis or painful event, a major life transition, a biological predisposition, trauma, or a significant loss. In our culture today, we lead very stressful lives, and it’s difficult to find the time to enjoy life, find meaning, and cultivate relationships with people who care for us. Instead, we may find ourselves under constant pressure to perform, to be perfect, or to fulfill unspoken expectations. We may often lose ourselves and feel lost, alone, and disconnected from our own life experiences. The good news is that depression treatment with a licensed mental health professional can help you find a way to reconnect with yourself and experience the joy in life once again.
We don’t need to revisit the past, although it may be helpful, sometimes it’s best to work with what you are currently struggling with today. During depression treatment, I will instead focus on understanding your triggers to depressed thought patterns. In addition, as you deeply listen to the energy through your body, you can begin to gain insight about how you struggle and how to cope.
Depression treatment does not need to be a long process because the modalities we can work with, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment, ACT, and Somatic Experiencing, to name a few, can help facilitate your mental health healing on many levels, often allowing you to move through your issues, find resolution, and joy in your life. My goal as a therapist is to be a catalyst for your healing process so you experience the freedom of feeling balanced quickly. After every depression treatment session, I will talk about what was helpful and the tools and skills you need to support the change you want to see in yourself. You always have the option to come back and to resolve a new issue or to further refine the healing process.
