Depression
Jodie, as a skilled psychologist, can be a valuable resource in assisting adults dealing with symptoms of depression. Here's how she can help using evidence-based strategies:
1. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Jodie can employ CBT techniques to identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to depression. Through this process, you'll learn to reframe these thoughts, develop coping mechanisms, and improve your overall outlook and mood.
2. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Jodie can integrate DBT strategies to enhance emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help you manage intense emotions and navigate relationships, empowering you to cope effectively with depression.
3. Narrative Therapy: Jodie can utilise narrative therapy, allowing you to explore and reauthor the stories you tell yourself about depression. By reshaping your narrative and gaining a more empowering perspective, you can break free from the cycle of depression and create a more positive life story.
4. Mindfulness: Jodie can guide you in practicing mindfulness, helping you stay grounded in the present moment and manage depressive thoughts and emotions. Mindfulness exercises can enhance awareness and self-compassion, leading to a reduction in symptoms of depression.
Jodie will customise these evidence-based approaches to suit your individual circumstances, needs, and preferences. She'll provide a supportive environment for you to explore these techniques, understand how they apply to your life, and help you develop practical skills to combat depression. With Jodie's guidance, you can work towards improved mental well-being and find hope and resilience in your journey towards recovery.
