My preferred method for addressing depression involves a combination of client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). In client-centered therapy, I create a nonjudgmental space where clients can freely share their experiences. This approach helps them feel heard and understood. Following this, CBT techniques are used to help clients recognize and challenge any distorted beliefs that may be contributing to their depression. This dual approach aims to promote self-awareness and empower clients to manage their depression more effectively
I guide clients in utilizing the CBT triangle to uncover the underlying beliefs fueling their depression. Once identified, clients can then focus on reframing and distancing themselves from these unproductive beliefs. The goal is for clients to develop a more constructive belief system that better supports their well-being.
I can recognize a client's progress with their depression when they become increasingly aware of their unhelpful beliefs and can transition from negative belief momentum to a more positive one. They start to realize the power of perspective and how they have control over which perspectives they empower.
Clients can enhance their ability to manage depression by practicing mindfulness and being present with their negative emotions, viewing them as signals pointing to unhelpful beliefs. During this time, clients can write down these unhelpful beliefs to gain a clearer understanding of what is embedded in their life template/beliefs, and then focus on restructuring these beliefs.
Clients can prepare for their therapy intake by reflecting on their personal narrative and identifying moments that contribute to their depression, which they can then discuss with the clinician. Additionally, conducting research on cognitive-behavioral therapy to understand the dynamics of personality and ego flow can be beneficial.
