Depression

As we make our way through life's complexities, we can find ourselves without the long-term relationships or the supports we need to feel connected and secure. You may find yourself unable to sleep, or sleeping all the time; suddenly gaining weight or losing weight; unable to concentrate or feel pleasure in activities that once gave life meaning; and without motivation to do anything. The terrible pain of depression can deflate your sense of who you are and even make you question whether life is worth living at all.

Your depression may be biochemical, a result of fluctuations in your body chemistry, or situational: an unexpected change; a loss or major disappointment; an important life transition; an unremitting sense of loneliness and isolation; a past trauma that impinges on your current life. Any of these and more can have a profound impact on your ability to feel enjoyment, your self-esteem, your optimism about your own life. Depression can make you feel hopeless, and discourage you from talking about it at all.

A therapist can help support you through this troubling time. Together, you can explore the reasons why you feel depressed and work with the underlying thoughts and emotions that fuel depression. Therapy can help you learn to anticipate the ways in which you may be vulnerable to depression, to care for yourself when you are, and to work toward a place of more stable hope and optimism once again.

Therapy can help you explore what emotions fuel your depression as well as help you anticipate your vulnerability and then work toward bringing back stability and optimism.
