Therapy for Depression
Perhaps it’s a relatively new sensation, a stark contrast from the motivation or energy you once felt. Or perhaps this flatness in life has persisted for some time, the struggle to find motivation and purpose is a feeling that is both stifling and familiar.
Life always has its ups and downs, but for some reason, you can’t seem to get out of this rut.
​​
Not only is your motivation stifled, but your relationship with yourself and the world around you have also changed. ​
​
​​You feel disconnected from your family, your friends, your co-workers. Isolation and withdrawal from others feel so easy, a path of least resistance compared to the effort and risk of maintaining these connections.
As a result, things can feel very lonely. Your inner critic becomes your best friend, your strongest connection.
“I’m not good enough,”
“I’ll never succeed,”
“It will never get better,”
sound like a reverberating echo.
​
​
Perhaps your echoes are even more severe, adding in a sense of helplessness, hopelessness, and despair. At the center of these depressive experiences is, well, you, and your inner critic works tirelessly to convince you these thoughts are true.
​
But they aren’t true, despite how strongly these impressions might feel.
