Depression is much more than “feeling sad.” It involves loss of energy, hopelessness, lack of interest or pleasure, changes in sleep and appetite, and intense feelings of guilt or worthlessness. Cognitive Behavioral approaches (CBA) focuses on identifying and restructuring the negative thought patterns that maintain depression. EMDR process helps process past experiences that formed the emotional roots of these beliefs, allowing healing at a deeper level. By combining both approaches, treatment addresses depression on both cognitive and emotional levels, promoting lasting recovery.
