Depression
Donna Wigmore Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, CT
I believe that our culture has had some very depressing impacts on many of us. In many ways, our culture is sick. While clinical depression is hard enough on its own, there are the heavy impacts of living with relationship stress, social injustices and discrimination, the climate crisis ad the stress of modern living. We all experience life differently, and need a unique approach to our well being, yet quite often we may find that depression begins when we take on false beliefs about ourself or the world. We can gently investigate this to untangle things and create space for you to be able to live with peace.

Depression
Lincoln Stoller
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, CHt, CCPCP
Depression is straightforward: it's a delusion. Being distressed is a circumstantial condition, feeling hopeless is an attitude, but being depressed is a state of self destruction. The circumstances may be real and your attitude reasonable, but you need to be rid of the self-destructive energy of depression. Unlike other strategies which offer coping or secondary benefits, depression offers no benefit.
The first step in addressing depression is to recognize it as a kind of disease. This provides no relief, but it can be the foundation of your commitment to change. You must realize that you can overcome depression and that you deserve to. In my experience, depression rests on low self esteem. This is hard to see when you are depressed, but it's not hard to see for those who know you well. Depressed people typically have spent their lives compensating and, as a result, are often highly accomplished.
I had bouts of depression as a graduate student and my father, a successful photographer, struggled with depression after retirement. My seriously depressed clients have all been older people whose problems are compounded by feelings of aimlessness and lack of relevance.
I have found talk therapy to be of little help with depression. Conversation can temporarily lighten a person's mood, but this has no enduring benefit.
Hypnotherapy has proven to be beneficial because it can address issues of identity, value, purpose, and meaning. Psychedelics have also been reported beneficial, but the types of depression to which this applies as well as the nature of the support that's required remain unclear.
Brain training plays a large and typically unrecognized role, and this is a pity. The fact that neither cognitive redirection nor pharmaceutical intervention relieve clinical depression indicates that depression has a strong neurological component. I combine rational-emotive therapy with brain training. This training IS broadly useful in achieving balance and it's inexpensive, effective, simple, easy, painless, and has no side effects. It involves different configurations of transcranial electrical stimulation that you cannot feel but your brain can perceive. Tools of this sort are overlooked because practitioners in the psycho-therapeutic community have generally no knowledge of the brain's role in psychological conditions.
I've worked for almost three decades following research and therapy in brain training. I've worked with the best engineers and clinicians in the fields of EEG neurofeedback and diagnosis. Despite the dramatic evidence of positive effect, brain training has gotten little attention, is not taught, and continues to be under-utilized and overlooked. It seems to require a level of technical, medical, mathematical, and therapeutic skill that does not yet exist in the psycho-therapeutic field. There are sadly few therapists like myself who are able to effectively address depression using these tools.
Finally, the circumstances that maintain depression take time and effort to change. Many people lack the resolve to change their circumstances, and being depressed limits them further. In addition to education, training, and healing, a depressed person needs support and encouragement. Depression is curable, but it takes a therapist who is more skilled than most.
