Depression Counseling in Draper, UT
Empowering you to live your life more authentically
Living with Depression
Depression can feel like a dark cloud is over you and won’t go away. Everything feels meaningless. Life feels purposeless. No motivation to get anything done. No joy in the things you usually find enjoyable. Suicidal ideation starts creeping in, where even if you don’t necessarily want to die or have a plan, you just want the pain to stop. Depression can be scary and overwhelming at times, but just know you are not alone. There is always hope even when it doesn’t feel that way. There is always a way out of misery.
What depression feels like:
Hopelessness
Worthlessness
Sadness
Apathy
Little to no motivation
No longer finding joy in what you used to
Depression Therapy in Draper, UT
Depression is treatable, even if all your thoughts are telling you otherwise. Often it just takes small daily changes that can make a world of difference. Once those small daily changes start to take place, you can take bigger actions too if needed to give your life purpose and meaning again.
We take many of the same approaches as we do with anxiety, such as using a holistic approach and helping you see your thoughts more clearly. It can take time to feel the hope in your life again, but we will work through different strategies to help you get to a point where life feels more worth living.
Some strategies we use include incorporating: DBT, ACT, IFS, and EMDR. Talk to your therapist if you have a preference for any certain approach.
