Depression

Looking for Depression Therapists in Winnipeg?

Feeling down, have low motivation, hard on yourself? Do you feel hurt or angry about things that happened to you in the past?

You know you’ve been through a lot in your life, even as a kid. You know you should be able to handle things, but things seem to be getting harder. And, trying to do it alone isn’t working anymore.

Unresolved emotional wounds like really being hurt by someone who was supposed to care for you can cause a range of problems. When someone close to you treated you badly, hurt you, this can leave a huge impact on how you see yourself, see others and the world around you.

Do you feel frustration towards others and yourself? Do you feel like you’re not good enough or no one really likes you for who you are? Do you feel uncomfortable around people and spend a lot of time alone?

What you’re going through is difficult, draining and you want to get control of the depression. More than anything you need someone who really knows what it’s like for you, what you need to do to get some relief from the depression, to feel less down.

How Does Depression Start?

Most Depression can be traced back to past negative experiences. It could be negative thoughts or feelings you had about yourself. Maybe you were one of the last kids picked a the team in gym class. We don’t normally see that as negative unless we hear others making fun of us. We don’t normally see ourselves in a negative way without first being told that from someone else.

If we have negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves, it’s usually because we learned to see ourselves that way—from someone else. Often the cause of the depression is from a relationship that was hurtful, abusive or neglectful and this cause many long-lasting problems, especially when you were younger. So we didn’t choose to see ourselves in that negative way—we were being told that’s who we are. And we were unsuspecting. We believed it. Therapy can teach you how to identify those early negative thoughts that feed depression and how to let them go.
