DEPRESSION
Empathy, Hope, Healing: Navigating Depression, Restoring Hope, Reclaiming Life.
Depression can feel like an overwhelming weight, pressing down on every aspect of life and leaving us exhausted, hopeless, and devoid of joy. It can cast a shadow over tasks, feelings, and relationships, making even the simplest activities seem burdensome and insurmountable. Depression may convince us that we've already lost before attempting anything, creating a cycle of low energy, diminished effort, and poor results that further reinforces feelings of sadness and hopelessness.
This emotional struggle can be debilitating, draining the vibrancy and purpose from life, leading to questioning the significance of getting out of bed when tomorrow seems destined to be more of the same. The pervasive nature of depression can create a whirlpool of muddled thoughts, trapping individuals in a cycle of despair and, in some cases, leading to suicidal thoughts as a perceived escape.
However, there is hope. Depression, often rooted in valid reasons, persists because there has been no change, healing, or restoration to the underlying issues it holds onto as truth. At InTune Therapy, I work collaboratively with you to uncover the driving forces behind depression, unlocking the hurt and sadness it clings to. By accessing the core of what lies beneath depression, we can begin the process of redeeming and restoring those underlying needs and injuries.
Although addressing feelings of depression is undoubtedly challenging, living with them without assistance is even harder. I am here to support you in increasing your ability to engage in life, understand, and manage depression. Through the exploration and processing of the feelings and meanings that depression holds, I aim to make complete healing possible. Instead of feeling like nothing matters, I want to come beside you and help you rediscover the goodness of life, find joy in relationships, and reclaim a sense of purpose.
