How to Prepare for Birth: A Guide for First-Time Mums - Donna Antenatal Class Auckland
Depression is Not a Choice—But You Can Choose to Heal
Depression is not a choice, and I see you trying to heal. You are not alone!
What if I told you that you are NOT a "depressed person"?
Would you be tempted to look for a different provider who focuses solely on diagnoses?
Or would you be curious to see where I'm going with this?
Hear me out.
I'm not saying that you aren't feeling depressed—clearly, you are, or you wouldn't be reading this. What I am saying is that I see you, not your diagnosis.
I see a complex person with years of love and loss, trials and tribulations, strengths and weaknesses. Your story is unique, complicated, and beautiful.
And above all else, you are NOT your depression.
Depression is absolutely debilitating… and can I just take a moment to acknowledge the strength it’s taken to get to this point? That’s no small feat. But if you don’t want to celebrate the win, that’s totally fine. I’m still celebrating you.
You may find therapy for depression helpful if you’re experiencing the following for an extended time:
-
Low mood, sadness, hopelessness, and helplessness
-
Changes in appetite or weight
-
Low self-esteem
-
Feeling tearful or guilt-ridden
-
Low energy and/or sex drive
-
Feeling irritable and intolerant of others
-
Lack of motivation or interest in things you used to enjoy
-
Unexplained aches or pains
-
Difficulty making decisions
-
Sleep issues, such as trouble falling or staying asleep
-
Anxiety or worry
-
Avoiding contact with friends and family
How I can help you?
First and foremost, I will listen to you attentively and empathetically. Depression is a challenge that can make you feel isolated and misunderstood, but you are not alone. I see you, and I’m here to validate your experiences and emotions.
I will provide a relaxed, authentic, and supportive environment where you can freely express your feelings (or lack thereof) without fear of judgment.
Together, we’ll set goals that feel right for you. Meanwhile, we’ll develop strategies and coping mechanisms that can help you manage your depression symptoms and improve your overall well-being. Ultimately, the goal is to kick depression in the butt and get your life back, right?
So let’s do it.
What Does This Look Like?
Throughout our work together, I’ll help you explore the underlying causes and triggers of your depression. Yep, we’re likely going back to childhood—but hear me out. By gaining a deeper understanding of your unique story, we can work towards serious, long-term healing and growth.
I know this sounds like hard work, but I’ve got you.
I will provide you with tools and techniques to identify the source of your negative thoughts and beliefs. Above all else, I’ll make sure you feel supported throughout the entire process.
I’ll also educate you about depression and its symptoms, helping you gain insight into your own unique experiences. Understanding the nature of depression can be empowering, as it allows you to recognize patterns and triggers and develop effective strategies to manage them.
