Our Approach To Depression Therapy
In case you are already diagnosed with Depression, it is likely that you are under the care of a Psychiatrist who has suggested medication, along with counselling. The approach to managing Depression depends on the various factors that cause Depression. The Counsellors at Happy n Healthys would primarily depend on Talk therapy to figure out those factors and then apply appropriate practises to address those issues going forward. Some of those methods can be.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY
Each individual has their own pattern of thought and behaviour. In Depression, individuals usually spiral into a negative thought process. Cognitive behavioural therapy BT helps the individual to identify when they are switching to an unhealthy thought or behaviour pattern and then to take steps in replacing them with realistic, practical, positive thoughts and actions
CREATIVE THERAPY
Is one of the more useful forms of depression counselling. This allows for an outlet for negative emotions like shame, guilt, fear, pain, resentment, anger through art, music or drama. This leads to reduced anxiety and paves the way for figuring out what other barriers one is facing.
INTERPERSONAL THERAPY
This helps the individual understand the two-way connection between the relationships they share with people around them, and their mental health. Interpersonal therapy attempts to identify the issues in communication, negotiation within relationships, or dealing with loss from a relationship.
MINDFULNESS BASED THERAPY
There is a tendency in individuals to ruminate, to delve deeply into past experiences that trigger a spark of negative emotions. Mindfulness therapy helps to detach yourself from that train of thought and emotion. It entails meditation, breathing exercises and focusing on the present moment.
The first step towards solving a problem, is to accept that there is one. Depression is treatable and beatable. Reach out to us to book your first appointment today.
