I was discussing something very similar with a client today. She was so intent on suppressing feelings that when she unpacked and dealt with them, tears of relief came to her eyes. Of course, with depression there's ups and downs, but for right then that was what she needed. I love your writing style, very approachable and clear.Stephanie Adams, MA, LPC-Internhttp://www.beginningcounselor.webs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376050346911543738.post-88925481733139804482011-03-19T17:29:59.448-07:002011-03-19T17:29:59.448-07:00JJ,

You talk about low mood edging its way towards real depression... I would think a person would wait until it was real depression not just low mood to get help. Is this true in your practice? Obviously people can benefit from therapy at any level of distress... but shouldn't the distress have to cross a certain threshold to justify the whole thing? And if so, how do you know where that threshold is?JJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376050346911543738.post-28857636711971550502011-03-19T13:54:54.280-07:002011-03-19T13:54:54.280-07:00I felt the bad mood creeping up again today (with ...I felt the bad mood creeping up again today (with bright sunshine outside) so your post came just at the right time. It's good to know, that I am not the only one dealing with these problems.<br />And it's mostly anger underneath for me too, a very generel anger about life circumstances as they are. It's good to remember that but it's still difficult to do anything about it (the anger as much as the low mood).Nainjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612296389407097432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376050346911543738.post-50131891769262954352011-03-14T20:17:05.645-07:002011-03-14T20:17:05.645-07:00Thanks for stopping by Flannery!Thanks for stopping by Flannery!Melissa Groman, LCSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341980298878431177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376050346911543738.post-37611932319977855692011-03-14T19:21:54.696-07:002011-03-14T19:21:54.696-07:00Yes, this really helped me.Yes, this really helped me.Flanneryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367538352164522498noreply@blogger.com
