My approach for depression therapy is to first establish a good rapport with the clients. I welcome questions along the way, and, especially in intake, let them know they can share what they are comfortable with and that I respect their boundaries.
I work with the client while implementing appropriate and effective tools like coping skills, breathing exercises, mindfulness, grounding techniques, guided imagery, journaling exercises, and worksheets.
I know clients are making meaningful progress in therapy when they are gaining more insight into their issues and start catching themselves in old thinking and problem-solving patterns. Also, when they discuss how they are starting to feel like themselves again, starting to do more tasks (job, home), as well as show increased motivation for some of their fun activities again.
Clients can do many things in their personal time to supplement therapy. They can supplement their time between sessions by working on some of the exercises and techniques reviewed with them in sessions. Journaling is good as well—reflecting on issues that are being worked on in therapy, gratitude journals, daily journaling, art, and journaling about a specific interest or activity (travel, cooking, hiking) can all be beneficial. Other activities like taking a walk out in nature or hanging out with friends are also good. Practicing self-compassion, taking a moment to just be, and getting plenty of rest are also helpful.
To prepare for your first therapy session, you can write down a list of concerns you have. This can include current stressors in your life, past issues/events that have occurred that you may want to address, as well as current symptoms and how long you have been experiencing them. Of course, you will want to think about what you want to work on while in therapy, as well as what goals you want to strive for.
