Resource Therapy for depression

As a Resource Therapist, I take a comforting and I hope, quite reassuring, view of depression. Rather than diagnose you as “depressed” I will explain that it can be more helpful to think of yourself as having many different parts. One part of you is experiencing deep sadness, grief or disappointment and, for the moment, that part of you is in charge. When that part takes over your psyche every day tasks such as work, looking after your home or family become difficult. Experiencing a sense of joy or happiness can feel impossible.

I believe this is a comforting view of depression because it is not “you” that is depressed, rather there is a part of you that is carrying the depressed feelings. In Resource Therapy we believe that every part of you is ‘good’ and that every part of you is trying to help you in some way.

Examining, in session, why this part of you is carrying these heavy feelings and what purpose this may serve can go a long way to helping the depressed feelings to be resolved.

Sometimes the underlying reason for the depressed feelings is unresolved trauma. Resource Therapy offers safe, gentle and effective methods of addressing and reducing the debilitating effects of traumatic experiences so that you can once again, or, perhaps for the very first time, experience feelings of joyful aliveness and ease of living.
