Depression Help… From NLP (tadah…)

I’ll bet you encounter depression once in a while. Or, you might actually be someone who has been battling depression for some time. Maybe you have someone you’d like to help.

Whatever the case, the perspective I’d put on this is that depression is normal. Yes, can be debilitating, but it’s normal. Millions of people go through it. Some people get out of it faster than others.

In recent days, especially after the announcement of major job losses in America, I’ve seen a surge in people seeking depression treatment or depression help. Somehow, many people are in a bad spot and just don’t know how to go about helping themselves.

NLP Definition: Reframing

I took a look at the Wikipedia definition and realized that it was pretty inaccurate and outdated. Reframing is a common practice in psychotherapy and counseling as a technique to provide a different perspective in the mind of the client. The process of reframing constitutes the following:

  • assessing if the current mental concept, belief or value is useful in the present context
  • provide a possible perspective

To reframe it so that it “hits the nail on the head”, you need to reframe it at the level that presented the problem.
