Depression and Mindful Therapy

Depression can vary in severity, from a debilitating inability to start the day to a moderate or mild, persistent ache and desire for change. It's normal to want to escape sad or depressing thoughts and emotions, which may stem from illness, relationship issues, or feelings of inadequacy.

Seeking relief is natural, whether through conversations with friends, religious leaders, or mental health counselors. Mindful therapy, combining mindfulness and cognitive behavioral science, offers an effective approach. It can be integrated into a psychotherapy program or taught by a mindfulness teacher alongside your existing therapist.
