Depression
Emily Stevens Brown
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LMHC, LPC, LPC-MHSP, MCAP
Depression presents in many different ways From very mild to more severe. Depression can also impact people of all ages. I find that depression is often missed in children and adolescence as a result of our expectations of how we think someone should present who is unhappy or depressed. Many adults hide their depression out of fear and shame of what others will think. Getting treatment for depression is essential for long-term joy and happiness.

Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Depression
Cole Johnson
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
With depression, it is important to discern if the primary cause is biological or psychologically based. Medication is always an option. If psychological, depression may occur when we are suppressing or resisting a natural process (or energy) that is trying to enter the world though us. Out of confusion, fear or anxiety, we "depress" that emotion back within us. Here it becomes a weight, blocked from its own creation. Just like a plant needs sunlight, water, and rich soil to grow, so do we. At times in life, these critical elements are not in abundance, and we need to nurture the plant as best we can until the elements are again available. Depression is a fragile state which involves deep care for ones authentic soul. It is often slow to move through us and requires progressive steps outward to reach the vital soulful resources we need to revitalize us. It is a very delicate process to navigate, and requires deep compassion and care. Finding hope in everyday life is critical in our thought processes and with help, the depression can lead us to the abundance life does offer.
