Overcoming Barriers to Healing Depression
How to Disrupt the Patterns That Sustain Your Client’s Depression
Depression can overwhelm a client’s life and rob them of meaning, joy and a sense of value.
Left untreated, it can feel like a life sentence – like nothing will ever change.
So to successfully treat depression, we have to look at the issues that sustain it.
First, we have to look at low motivation, because without motivation it’s hard for a client to take any action, and lack of action can often foster feelings of shame.
Beyond that, we also need to break up the two critical thought patterns that can leave clients defenseless against depression’s power.
Trauma also plays a role in depression, and we need to look at the way it can trick the mind into shutdown.
15 top thought leaders shared their personal insights and strategies for working with depression and reducing relapse. We put all their practical ideas together into this program . . .
