Introduction
Despite the rise in the number of interventions available, the rates of depression continue to increase. This means that our current interventions have only been able to provide temporary relief. Why is this? The short answer is: "We are unable to solve our problems with the same type of thinking that created them."
Come join us for the day. We will first look at the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for depression and use it to unpack the current beliefs about depression. We will then delve further into depression, how to understand it differently to then treat it, and not just treat it differently, but with optimal and lasting outcomes.
Let's master strategies to help our clients get to the root cause and beliefs about depression, so they can move from a suffering state to an empowering state of awareness. Let's support our clients to heal, recover, and live a life of joy and peace.
What you’ll learn

- Learned how to best use techniques like cognitive restructuring to help our clients shift to the inside-out paradigm, and then choose new ways of being that increase their levels of awareness.
