Depresive Disorder

I can help you change your relationship with Depression after one visit!  Together, you and I can begin a process that will set you free from the crippling emotions, the catastrophic thinking, and deep unseen pain that depresses your whole being.  How is it done?  Knowledge truly is power when it comes to depression.  A correct and complete understanding of how depression begins, how it is maintained, and more importantly how it can be stopped, immediately begins to transform your interaction with it… immediately the light of hope can begin to shine.

Depression is complex, in that it cuts across our psychology and physiology.  It dulls the spiritual senses, and compromises our emotional wellbeing.  It is a Circular relationship. The moment you begin to think depressive thoughts, and feel depressing emotions, our natural response is to behave in a depressing way. For example: When I think and feel depressed, I begin to isolate, I withdraw from others, I become less active, I oversleep, I over eat or undersleep, etcetera… The problem of course is that our responses to our thoughts and feelings, ultimately reinforce and bring about the very thoughts and feelings that originated it.  As if that was not sufficient, your brain then turns on itself again, and punishes you with guilt and shame for the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that have killed your ability to feel joy!  It doesn’t have to be this way any longer, and it won’t be this way once the correct knowledge is internalized.  The moment you know better, you will begin to see things more accurately, which leads you to feel better, and ultimately to doing better.

We are not attempting to eradicate sadness or even deep sorrow from your life, I just want you to interact differently with it, perhaps to see it purposefully… is that possible?  Not only is it possible, but it is tranforming!  It’s time for you to claim your ability to choose what you do and what you don’t do, instead of having depression sit in the driver’s seat.

There are three areas of intervention that all depressives must become skillful at to successfully address and overpower depression long term, they are:  Before depression hits; while it is motion; and after the episode.  It is likely that you have unknowingly been reinforcing the very cycle, that has robbed you of your vitality.  Relief is on the horizon for you… Hope is around the corner… Start today, call or text me to schedule your appointment today!

Courageously,
