I find that it is difficult to just change a feeling. Often, depressed people need to find some behavior changes to support feeling good. At the same time, depressed people often have negative thinking patterns that just keep them down. Learning how to break out of these thinking patterns is often very important in dealing with depression.
There are many “tools” that are helpful for clients with depression:
I often see depressed clients getting better when they find some spark of energy. This is one reason managing our behavior patterns can be so important (think sleep and exercise). I often see early progress when people start giving themselves a break in their self-talk.
Many depressed people struggle with being active. Finding ways to increase activity levels can make us feel better. Being aware of how we think moment to moment is important, as it gives us a chance to confront garbage thinking before it causes problems.
I find that people with depression often have difficulty with change. Be ready for change. It takes effort and it’s uncomfortable, but so does being depressed.
