Exhausted from trying? Depression therapy San Francisco can help you feel like yourself again

Ready to feel in control of your life again?

You’re tired but can’t get quality rest. Completing daily tasks is a slog, and talking to people is the last thing you want to do. You want to be there for your loved ones but your energy is zero. Depression can make every little thing feel exhausting. You keep trying, but can’t seem to find any solution.

There’s an easier way to navigate your life.

Depression might help us avoid other pain, like fear or failure, but it comes at a cost. When trying to stay safe makes us isolate from friends, takes the joy out of our passion, and convinces us that we’re not good enough, it becomes worse than the ‘danger’ we try to avoid.

Learn to rewrite your inner dialogue with depression counseling San Francisco

You are enough. Depression makes you think otherwise.

When you find yourself thinking:

‘I’ll never be good enough’
'Things just don’t work out for me'
‘I’m a lousy parent’
‘What’s the point?’
‘Nobody understands’
‘Everyone has it figured out but me’
‘I’m hopeless’

With all these thoughts, it makes sense to feel hopeless. Imagine not having to think those exhausting thoughts everyday. That’s where CBT helps. CBT for depression teaches you better ways to address the deeply engrained beliefs that make you feel like crap. You learn tools and strategies to challenge these thinking habits and prove the incessant inner critic wrong. Spoiler alert: Most of those beliefs are simply not true. You can continue to believe lies if you’d like, but I’d like to help you practice ways to find objective, believable, and positive truths that will balance your mood and increase positive emotions.

Small Steps, Big Changes

When we try to criticize ourselves out of depression, we end up feeling overwhelmed and sink right back down. In CBT, we don’t try to fix everything all at once. We focus on small steps that lead to gradual progress. We use achievable goals to build confidence and momentum and create real change.

It won’t be long before life feels lighter, brighter, and more engaging.

The skills you learn in CBT will help you for the rest of your life. Therapy is a chance to learn and practice these skills under professional guidance, but once you get the hang of it you’ll need less and less guidance and feel confident to face any challenge that comes your way, whether it’s depression, stress, anxiety, or big life changes. When that happens, our work together is done!

You approach hardship with a sense of empowerment, knowing you can handle any challenges that come up. That’s what CBT can do for depression. Reach out today to schedule your first appointment.
