Exploring Depression Support: Your Questions Answered
Gain insights into how Sentience Counselling can help you with depression through these frequently asked questions. From understanding depression to the therapy process and what to expect, we’re here to provide clarity and support on your journey to healing.
The process of EMDR treatment is like embarking on a mountainous journey, with each session representing a step towards healing and resolution. Initially, we start by gathering information and equipping you with tools to regulate your emotions, akin to preparing for the climb ahead. We want to understand your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve, while also teaching you how to manage any emotional challenges that may arise during our sessions.
As we progress, we begin to explore the various experiences in your life that have contributed to your current struggles. Just as rocks and boulders accumulate to form a mountain, our past experiences can pile up and create challenges that seem insurmountable. To find relief, we may need to address the entire mountain of experiences. However, the pace and depth of our exploration depend on your readiness and the number of sessions you’re able to commit to. It’s perfectly acceptable to tackle parts of the mountain at a time, as each step forward brings you closer to the peak of healing and wholeness.
Therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), internal family systems (IFS), and mindfulness-based therapy (MBT), can provide effective tools and strategies to manage and overcome depression. These therapies help you identify negative thought patterns, process emotions, and develop coping skills to regain control over your life.
Navigating the complexities of relationships can be challenging, and sometimes couples find themselves facing common misconceptions about therapy. Check out below where we debunk seven myths surrounding couples therapy, shedding light on its real value and benefits.
- Couples therapy is only for couples on the brink of divorce: Actually, couples therapy is helpful for couples at any stage of their relationship. It’s not just about crisis management but also about enhancing communication, deepening connections, and fostering growth.
- Therapy is only necessary when there is a serious problem: While therapy can certainly address serious issues, it’s also valuable for couples who simply want to strengthen their bond and navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
- Therapy is only for couples who can’t solve their own problems: Seeking therapy is a courageous step that shows a commitment to the relationship. It’s about gaining new perspectives, learning healthier patterns, and fostering a more fulfilling connection.
- Therapy is one-size-fits-all: Every couple is unique, and therapy is tailored to meet their specific needs and goals. Therapists work collaboratively with couples to find the approaches and strategies that resonate best with them.
- Therapy is only about talking: While communication is a key focus, therapy also involves learning and practicing new skills. It’s about creating lasting change by applying these skills in real-life situations.
- Therapy is a quick fix: Building a strong relationship takes time and effort. Therapy provides the tools and guidance, but it’s the commitment to applying these tools consistently that leads to lasting transformation.
- Therapy is only for couples who want to stay together: While many couples seek therapy to strengthen their bond, therapy also supports couples who decide to part ways. It helps them navigate the process with respect, understanding, and a focus on healthy transitions.
