THE DEPRESSION INDIVIDUAL
PROGRAM
Depression is a
disorder affecting as many as 50% of all adults
at some point in their life.
Depression can be costly, both
physically and emotionally. The Depression
Individual
Program is designed to overcome depression in a way that assumes the
participant has already suffered enough, has sufficiently grieved and mourned
the losses in their life, has found meaning in it all, and is now ready to begin
the work of changing. The
participant will discover if they have a tendency to respond to life
events in a way that indicates some qualities of Depression Prone Thinking (DPT).
The issues of Shame, Perfection, Control, People Pleasing, and Competence are
explored and solutions are offered. The
Program has
twelve sessions
usually held once per week.. Graduated
homework assignments allow you to apply the newly acquired skills. The
Individual Program offers both support for recovery, as well as incentive for
doing the homework between sessions.
