Depression

689a1d0aAnother Monday. Already over it.

That familiar ugh runs through your body and mind as you flop your hand out to hit SNOOZE for the third time.

The thought of another week… another DAY of the grind is crushing.

It’s not like you haven’t been doing well at work and living the life you thought you wanted, but it all feels strangely empty.

Going through the motions on auto-pilot…

Getting out of bed is a battle – not because of tiredness but because of the heaviness in your bones. It’s an invisible burden you just can’t shake off.

The thought of small-talking with colleagues exhausts you before you even start. You used to thrive in social situations, but now you seek solace in your cocoon. Doom-scrolling much these days?

Things you used to enjoy have lost their spark. It’s like the color’s been drained out of everything.

Sleep is your refuge, not just for rest but for a temporary escape from the overwhelming numbness you feel.

You’re always on the verge of tears. There’s a constant dull ache in your chest, a lump in your throat.

What’s missing, and why can’t you figure it out?

Then, that existential dread kicks in.

Yes, you’re achieving, but what’s the point? Is this all there is?

You’re stuck in a cycle of success that feels a lot more like failure. Your vision board did NOT include this feeling.

This Monday morning, like every morning these days, transforms into more than just the start of a workweek – it’s a battleground where it’s you against the world. You peel yourself out of bed, pound a coffee (or two), and try to hype yourself up…

But you can’t seem to escape this dark cloud.

We’ll gently dive into your thoughts, emotions, and the complex layers you’re experiencing. It’s not about having all the answers but uncovering them together.

Virtual therapy allows for a genuine, face-to-face interaction, providing a sense of connection despite the physical distance. Plus, you can wear your PJs and have your fur baby with you.

We’ll explore the weight on your shoulders, the ache in your chest, and the numbness that clouds your days.

Through compassionate conversation and personalized strategies, we’ll navigate the challenges and work toward rediscovering purpose and color in your life.

Let’s switch from “black-and-white” to “portrait” mode.

We’ll use a unique blend of body and brain-based approaches – tailored to you – to create deep, lasting change.

Talk therapy can be extremely helpful, but sometimes it only scratches the surface. Compassionate Inquiry helps us explore your inner world, inviting self-compassion and understanding through gentle questioning. Through this exploration, you’ll have the chance to slow down, feel your emotions, and heal.

Polyvagal-informed EMDR combines eye movement or tapping with an understanding of your nervous system, helping to reprocess distressing memories and emotions. It’s like giving your mind and body the tools finally to let go of the past and move on for good.

Together, these approaches aim to regulate your nervous system, offering a structured yet compassionate path to untangle the complex threads of depression.

It’s about empowering you to rewrite your narrative, change what’s not working, and find your joy again.

It’s time to break up with the Monday Blues.
