Depression is often maintained by a cycle of negative thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Once this cycle is identified, we start the challenging but rewarding process of replacing negative thoughts and behaviors with those that change how we feel about ourselves, our situations and our futures.

Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Most frequently, depression feels like a cloud over your head. Sometimes this could dictates your day and sometimes it does not. Either way, I enjoy helping my clients understand the contents of the cloud to help them regain their independence and freedom.
