Depression

“Depression is often described as blackness.
Did you know that the colour black is made up of many colours?”
 

Addressing discontent and depression early allows you to keep and improve the life you have today.

Depression can show up in different ways for different people—sometimes it's a persistent sadness, other times it’s a lack of motivation, fatigue, or feeling disconnected. It’s not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign that something deeper is going on that we can work through together.

We all experience the ups and downs of emotions. It is when we struggle just to feel “OK” that we need to seek help.

It is estimated that 5% of the global population experiences depressive symptoms such as major depressive disorder (MDD), persistent depressive disorder (PDD), seasonal affective disorder (SAD), postpartum depression, and psychotic depression.

Are you feeling down and hopeless?

Do you struggle to get out of bed or drag yourself through each day?

How often do you reach for an easy fix – distraction, eating, alcohol, or sleeping?

Do you have time to relax for good self-care?

Are you challenged by irritability and disrupted sleep?

Are there relationships or decisions you are avoiding because you feel overwhelmed?

At CPEB, we use a combined approach of psychotherapy and emotional bodywork to address depression symptoms. Emotional bodywork helps clients recognize how they physically store depression in their bodies. By gaining insight into their unique mind-body connection, individuals can begin to notice their automatic Reactions, consciously choose new Responses, and ultimately create the Resolves and Results they desire in their lives.

By addressing your depression, you can begin to gain deeper insight into yourself and your relationships, which can empower you to make meaningful and lasting changes in your life. Depression often shows up not just emotionally, but physically too — through fatigue, aches, or other bodily discomforts. Engaging in a mind-body approach to healing may help ease these physical symptoms while improving your mental health.

Relaxation & Visualization is a deeply relaxing and restorative practice with many health benefits.

Relaxation & Visualization allows one to be just aware of stress and concerns while letting them go through the guided meditation.  This process creates deepening degrees of calm throughout the whole body.  The result is that the physical body releases its holding patterns of distress allowing for full and complete relaxation of the mind and body.

You will leave the session feeling extremely rested with a deep sense of calm and clarity.
