Depression

Depressed people commonly perceive themselves as having no options, no way out of their depressed thinking and therefore powerless and hopeless. 

​

Chronic stress and excessive anxiety lead to a debilitating spiral of low self-esteem, and low morale.

​

Their brains are under so much pressure to release the build-up of excessive emotional arousal from their constant negative introspection, that their sleep is hijacked by their subconscious.

​

It creates disturbing metaphorical scenarios in dreams or nightmares in an attempt to clear some space by processing/discharging unresolved emotions in order for it to create some capacity and head space to deal with the impending day.

​

​The loss of peaceful restorative sleep which is vital for normal functioning on a day to day basis additionally robs depressed people of their resilience. They wake up more exhausted than when they went to sleep. A vicious cycle is established.

​

The best therapy addresses and is in-tune with the unmet needs of the person suffering.

​

This takes a little more time working with the person to lessen the amount of stressing and worrying.
