2 problems with moods - anxiety and depression

When we concern ourselves about future loss we can become anxious, with past loss depressed.

We can all have these experiences as part of our daily living,and for some people, they escalate into a problem and can seep into their body as if to take up permanent residence.

If then someone is suffering from anxiety, we can explore this in greater texture - are they feeling insecure, uncertain, afraid, unsafe … and this will be different for different people. from here we can explore what’s missing for them so they would be OK, and this may be security, certainty, courage, safety etc.

And if someone is suffering from depression, we can explore with them wondering if they may be     sad, resigned, hopeless, worthless, which will again be different for different people so we can explore what might be missing here - acceptance, possibility, hope, self worth.

As with any problem, once we have a hint of what’s missing for a person, we can explore with this individual just how they might connect, reconnect, or learn how to find and utilise this missing resource.

Here again, we are not treating a condition, we are exploring with each unique individual what is missing and helping them to connect with it.
