Depression doesn’t always look like sadness or the inability to get out of bed. Sometimes it’s going through the motions, feeling disconnected from things you once enjoyed, or wondering why everyday responsibilities suddenly seem to require a heroic amount of effort. And while a little sunshine and fresh air can certainly be nice, they’re not always the whole answer. The feeling of effort behind the smile can grow heavy.
There’s more to a person than what they’re struggling with. Our work can involve understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, exploring the experiences and patterns that may be contributing, and finding manageable ways to reconnect with yourself and the things that matter to you. No pressure to have everything figured out before we begin.
