Looking for a depression therapist so you can find your joy again?

Ready to move from feeling really depressed, to feeling really deep rest?

healing depression

Struggling with depression is hard. Especially when it gets in the way of living the type of life you want. You want to feel better, but it’s not as easy as people think. Sometimes you choose to hide your pain or suffer in silence. Anything to avoid feeling even more judged, criticized, disconnected, misunderstood, isolated…or alone.

You hear people say “perceptions are changing”, but you still question what would happen if you spoke truthfully about your own challenges with depression. You can’t help but wonder and think to yourself:

• Do I even have the energy to do it?

• Can anyone really understand what I’m going through?

• If I speak honestly, will I be judged?

• I don’t want everybody “knowing my business”.

• Maybe it’s “safer” to keep holding it in?

• Is it truly possible to heal from depression?

We hear you.

And You are not alone.

DEPRESSION: THE COMMON COLD OF MENTAL HEALTH

Simply put: Depression is much more widespread than most people think.

Once referred to as the “common cold” of mental health issues, statistics show that almost everyone experiences at least one (if not several) major depressive episodes during their lifetime.

What causes depression? Several factors may be linked, including:

• Abuse (e.g., past physical, sexual, verbal, or emotional abuse or neglect)

• Conflict

• Death or loss (e.g., sadness or grief from the loss of a relationship, loss of a friend/loved one, or loss of a previously held identity or sense of self)

• Genetics

• Major life events or changes

• Substance abuse

• Personal problems or challenges

What would it be like to have a supportive, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can just be?

Sometimes we need to be reminded that it’s OK to not always have everything together. That it’s OK to not always feel happy. That it’s OK to not be okay.

No more “performative happiness” needed.

Depression can be debilitating.

The good news? Help is available.

Depression may “show up” in different ways for different people, including:

• Persistent, sad, anxious or “empty” thoughts

• Trouble concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions

• Fatigue

• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and helplessness

• Pessimism and hopelessness

• Insomnia (e.g., early-morning wakefulness, or sleeping too much)

• Irritability or restlessness

• Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy

• Disordered eating (e.g., over-eating, emotional eating, loss of appetite)

• Aches, pains, headaches, or cramps that won’t go away

• Digestive problems

• Thoughts of self-harm

The bottom line?

You deserve to feel good again.

You deserve to feel joy again.

You deserve to feel happy again.

You deserve true peace.

Don’t let depression hold your dreams hostage any longer.

Real help and relief is within reach.
