Focused on the relationship between doctor and patient. Therapy is the process of self-discovery.
Depressive disorder
Joanne had struggled with depression ever since her divorce 3 years ago. Her self-esteem was at a real low point and her confidence was shattered. The depression took over her life making her sad with low moods swings. In its most severe form, she continually experienced feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and despair (Destroy Depression, 2019). She began experiencing depressive episodes that flowed over into her life experiences to a decrease in her social activities, problems with relationships, and an increase in crying (ABCT, 2019). When she was not crying, she had a desire to cry even when she could not get the tears out. The depression was now a common psychological problem, and an inclusion to most experiences in her life, affecting her quality of life. These experiences of low mood became severe enough for Joanne to seek formal treatment.

Therapy vs creativity
The sign that the intellect has produced something useful is when it becomes embodied in a person. Posture, basic responses and vocal tone are altered. Therapists should be, but aren't, good poets. (This is tied to poetry's origins as a spoken art form).

Colour Therapy
The first pigment of colour was invented by artist’s as early as 40,000 years ago, creating a basic palette of five colours: red, yellow, brown, black, and white. The history of colour, has since become a perpetual discovery of exploration and scientific advancement. Novel pigments have accompanied the development of art history’s greatest movements from the Renaissance to Impressionism (Gottesman, 2016). Today colour is accepted as a potent therapeutic agent with therapeutic powers for rapid healing. Recent breakthroughs in the use of visual brain stimulation by colour in the method of Emotional Transformation Therapy report rapid recovery of trauma, depression, physical pain and spiritual blockages (Vazquez, p.192). Furthermore, Chromotherapy exemplifies a significant development of science in the field of electromagnetic radiation/energy (Azeemi & Raza, 2005).

The Healing Art of Poetry
As a girl, I hated poetry — at least, the kind my teachers made me read. It felt complex and inaccessible, as each verse was composed of words I could not easily understand. Indeed, the academic poetry (as I like to call it) of my youth left me feeling diminished and, at times, even made my mind go numb.

every three days
Wednesday - March 24, 2021 I’m so tired. The whole day was tiring and I felt like I didn’t do much. I want to make sure that I am showing up in everything I do, but I can’t. I want to be there, I just want a break to sleep and rest the day away. Maybe I am just burned out from a job where I feel like I can't do anything right, and that my hardest efforts are still so undervalued. I'm starting to understand the way that people would talk about the never ending cycle of work and sleep than work than sleep, and I am not sure what to do about it. It makes me exhausted and I wish I could find some joy in something to focus on.

What It's Like Having A Therapist/Psychiatrist And Being On AntiDepressants (Long Title I Know)
Growing up, I had a lot of hesitation going to therapy. And I had even more hesitation going on medication. I was surrounded with stigma and people having bad experiences with therapy, on top of all the stories of antidepressants making people feel like robots on autopilot throughout life. But I was also surrounded by sadness, anxiety, and depressing thoughts that slowly became more and more harmful to my health, so I decided to dive head first into the world of self-help, mental health, and mental stability.

Adlerian
This is my paper that started my graduate school education that started with learning to be a counselor and ended up achieving a doctorate in Education, but more specifically in Reading and literacy leading to research and writing. I found out there are a lot of correlations between education and counseling in various areas. I am still interested in writing and sharing my ideas using various counseling theories. This is actually a 15 page paper that was handed in a few weeks before the end of the semester to see what particular theory that we would probably use in our practice or whatever we were planning to do in the future.

Racism is still a blind spot in psychotherapy
On the phone, Lucía Muriel says that she is careful when talking to journalists. Only a few psychotherapists could tell what she has to tell. The topic is sensitive, and what you read about her is often read as representative for a whole community.

Understanding Shadow Work
Shadow Work is how you integrate the aspects of your unconscious psyche into your conscious experience and allow the positive aspects of the shadow to express themselves. When properly used and channeled, the shadow-self has traits that you can use to further your own personal development. Everyone carries a dark side ,even if we don't like to admit to our flaws. Shadow work can sound creepy or a means to what goes bump in the night. Some parts of it may be rather uncomfortable for most but it is necessary work to uncoil the true joy that is beyond those skeletons and fears. Especially the one That we keep tucked away in the closet of our own mind.

If You Only Got Out of Your Own Way
“You have shades where you can be really great, but you’re inconsistent. Now, if you just got out of your own way, you’d be great” – If I had a dime for each time I was told those words, I’d seriously have enough money to retire. If only the family, friends, colleagues, teachers, and bosses would understand that each cut of those words, would stay with my far into adulthood.
