Long term depression

Working with individuals facing long-term depression resembles a marathon rather than a sprint. Even after undergoing talking therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), some may find themselves revisiting depressive thoughts. This can occur due to triggers from past emotional experiences or new challenges that hinder their ability to lead fulfilling lives. For these individuals, developing enduring coping strategies is essential. Our art therapy approach provides a unique avenue for exploring and expressing emotions. The act of painting or drawing can serve as a powerful catalyst, allowing individuals to release pent-up feelings. Through these creative processes, participants learn to articulate their struggles, fostering a deeper understanding of their emotional landscape and paving the way toward healing. Art therapy not only enriches their coping repertoire but also emboldens them to confront and navigate their emotions in transformative ways.
