Depression Counseling
generally consists
of 3 fundamental stages:
Step 1: Identify | Step 2: Replace | Step 3: Assimilate |
|---|---|---|
In Step 1, you and your counselor identify factors contributing to your depression. These may include: 1) hurtful life experiences; 2) negative thought patterns; 3) problem behaviors; and 4) negative relationship patterns. | In Step 2, your counselor helps you develop replacement strategies for each of the negative factors identified in Step 1. You learn how to trade in your negative thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns for more positive, productive strategies. | In Step 3, with your counselor's support, you practice applying these new patterns in your life, until they become familiar and comfortable for you. As you become confident and consistent in applying these new patterns, life becomes happier and more fulfilling. |
Through these 3 steps, with your counselor's guidance and support, you trade in old depressive patterns for new ways of feeling, thinking, and living. Over time, therapy fades out as you become confident in maintaining these happier, healthier patterns on your own.
