Zhengzhou Depression: Self-Psychotherapy for Depression
- Cognitive therapy. It is very important to treat depression by improving the psychological state. People need to conduct deep reflection through their own induction and inspiration, and eliminate unreasonable thoughts in their hearts. Whatever the cause of the depression, there are irrational thoughts at work. For example, "I fail at work because of my incompetence. My incompetence makes me hopeless. What's the point of living without hope?" This is a common irrational concept among many young people. As long as this irrational concept is broken, depression will soon go away. As for how to break through this irrational concept, we have already talked about it, so there is no need to say more here.
Suggestive therapy. Positive psychological cues can brighten a person's gray mood. For example, you can use this suggestion: "I am in a very quiet place now, and my mood is very calm and comfortable. I used to be depressed because of my subjective assumptions. Don't think that if you fail once or twice, you are useless. You are worse than others. No head. I know setbacks and difficulties are not terrible, I have the willpower to overcome them. I began to learn to look at everything in a positive way, my mood was no longer depressed and depressed, my mood became happier, and my symptoms disappeared. I like to socialize with friends , there are more friends. The sky in my heart is wider." This method is a complement to the previous method. The former starts from the conscious level and the latter starts from the subconscious level.
Pour out therapy. Talk about your troubles, worries, pain, sadness, etc. To your relatives and friends, cry when it's time to cry. Don't be afraid to lose face. After the heavy rain, the sky will clear up, and the depression in my heart will be swept away.
Diary therapy. American psychologists have used the method of making patients write diaries to treat patients with depressive neurosis, and found that after writing a diary for a period of time, the patient's psychological state has improved, and his life has become somewhat optimistic. Diaries can be written in two ways: one is subjective. Talk to yourself in a journal when you have negative emotions, then analyze your negative thoughts to find their fallacies. This can be seen as a specific form of the first therapy. The second is objective. Don't write your inner feelings, don't mention the word "I", and record the real life of the outside world as much as possible. In this way, you will gradually see the sunshine in your life, and your heart will be filled with sunshine.
Pleasure therapy. Depressed patients need to learn to find happiness. Life is not without happiness, we need to find happiness. It is a pleasure to cultivate a hobby, a pleasure to watch a comedy sketch, a pleasure to play a ball, a pleasure to sing, a pleasure to tell a joke, a pleasure to come to a party...
