Depression
Therapy
Depression and anxiety influence our behavior in similar ways.
Both can influence how we are perceiving our present situation with unmanageable and unwanted negative self-talk.
Depression vs. Anxiety
There is a difference, though. People experiencing depression ask a lot of “why” questions such as
“Why did this happen to me ?” or
“Why did I…?”
People struggling with anxiety are more apt to have a fear of future events such as
She/he won’t like me if I…” or
“I can’t do anything because they are against me…”.
Both depression and anxiety take you out of living in the more productive present moment.
“Depression is a prison where you are both the suffering prisoner and the cruel jailer.”
—Dorothy Rowe
The Power to Change
Have you ever felt you are living through your past or living in a future that hasn’t happened yet?
In therapy, we will unpack what depression means in your life and help change that inner dialogue to ease the impact. We will explore some of the developmental experiences inherent in your cultural upbringing that influenced those important developmental stages. We will work to build your knowledge to better understand how you progressed through those stages to where we are now. Therefore, the power to change is in the work you do now.
