To overcome depression you must develop a conscious and mindful relationship with your emotional pain, whatever form that takes. The main problem that prevents recovery from depression is automatic and habitual reactive thinking and rumination, where we become lost in negative thinking and negative beliefs. This reactivity feeds depression and prevents depression from healing. The more we can break free from reactive thinking the faster we will recover.

The main factor that supports reactive thinking is the lack of conscious awareness. We become controlled by the habitual thoughts that we do not see. Mindfulness Therapy provides an extremely effective way to restore consciousness allowing us to regain freedom and choice in relation to our thoughts making them less reactive. Thoughts themselves are not the problem, it is the lack of consciousness that is the real problem. Re-establishing a conscious relationship with our thoughts and emotional reactions is the most important step in the recovery from depression and most other forms of emotional suffering.

Antidepressants may have a limited value in the short-term management of symptoms of depression, but medications are not a substitute for the psychological work of re-establishing inner conscious awareness. This is the primary focus of Mindfulness Therapy, and it is very effective for most people.

Of course, if you are suffering from a clinical form of depression then you should consult your doctor for appropriate treatment.

ONLINE MINDFULNESS THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION

Depression has many forms, and you should think of it as a spectrum of emotion ranging from mild mood changes on one end to clinical depression at the other end, which may require medical intervention. You should always consult a doctor id you are suffering from clinical depression.

However, most people suffer from milder forms of depression that represent the difficulty in adjusting to the many stresses and challenges of life in combination with emotional problems experienced during childhood. Problems from our relationship to our parents, potential emotional and physical abuse create the foundations for depression for many people. You do not necessarily have an illness if you are depressed, you may simply be having a hard time adjusting to trauma or difficult core emotions relating to self-image and poor self-esteem.

For many, depression is more of a dysfunctional habit; the product of negative habitual patterns of thinking, negative beliefs and destructive patterns of behavior, including addictions. The good news is that habits can be changed, and Mindfulness Therapy is one of the most effective ways of working with the underlying core emotions that cause your depression.

I teach mindfulness therapy. That's my specialty and that's what I describe in my book, The Path of Mindfulness Meditation. I find mindfulness therapy to be probably the most effective approach that I know for overcoming depression and also for treating anxiety disorders and any other form of emotional suffering.

There are two basic concepts in mindfulness therapy that make it so effective for treating depression.

The first is that we learn how to change our relationship to the depression itself. The real problem for most people is that whenever depression gets triggered by events or by thoughts or other triggers we simply become totally identified or consumed by the emotion and depression.

This is called reactive identification and this is this the central problem that we tackle during mindfulness therapy. We learn to break this blind habit of identifying with the depression or with anxiety too. We learn to develop a position as the observer of the emotion. This is quite important because when you can strengthen the ability to stay as the observer then you essentially free your self from the grip of the depression, learning to be the opposite of depression instead of becoming overwhelmed by the depression. That's the central focus of mindfulness therapy.

The second part of mindfulness therapy is very much concerned with looking at the structure of reactive thinking, or rumination that feeds the emotion. So thoughts do not cause depression, but thoughts will feed it if we also become identified with those thoughts and beliefs and memories and other mental content. In the same way we need to develop a mindful relationship with thoughts, we need to break free from the habit of becoming overwhelmed by rumination.

In this way we get more and more freedom from the depression, itself, the emotion, and the thoughts that feed the emotion, and this is what leads to the resolution and healing of depression, also anxiety and other forms of emotional suffering.

Controlling Depression through Online Mindfulness Therapy

It is crucial that you simply learn how to, basically, meditate on your anxiety and depression. You've got to form a non-judgmental relationship with all your emotions.

The majority of us, of course, react to our anxiety, depression or other negative emotions with avoidance or some kind of resistance towards those disagreeable emotions.

We do not like these unpleasant feelings and we try to destroy them. This really is surprisingly the worst thing you could possibly do, because this kind of reactivity makes of making the anxiety or depression grow and become more powerful. Any kind of reactivity has the negative effect of reinforcing your anxiety or depression.

What I've found, and lots of others in the area of Mindfulness Therapy have discovered, is that what actually accelerates change and transformation is when we can hold the emotion in our conscious awareness without reacting to our painful emotions with avoidance and aversion.

When you do that you're learning how you can effectively be with the emotion without becoming reactive and without becoming overwhelmed by it. This trains the mind a totally different manner of processing that experience, which allows the emotion to change, to resolve and also to transform itself.
