Depression Therapy
HealMyLife, depression therapy starts with the understanding that depression can be a deeply isolating and exhausting experience. It is often misunderstood, even by medical professionals, because its symptoms can vary widely. Not everyone with depression has trouble sleeping or struggles to get moving during the day. Some individuals are highly driven, masking their inner turmoil through sheer willpower and constant activity.
Our approach at HealMyLife addresses the core of depression, which is often more about a severe depletion of essential energy rather than persistent sadness. This core energy is vital for everyday functions such as making decisions, interacting with others, and exerting your will. When depression takes hold, it drains this energy, making even the simplest tasks seem insurmountable.

When talking to someone with depression, it’s often not immediately apparent. Many individuals don’t exhibit the classic symptoms like trouble sleeping or difficulty getting moving in the morning. Some people maintain a high level of activity due to strong willpower, masking their inner struggles.
The core issue in depression is not just mood but energy. Severe depression is characterized by a depletion of core energy, which is essential for daily functions like making choices, social interactions, and exerting willpower. Without this energy, individuals struggle to perform even basic tasks, feel emotionally drained, and have limited capacity for daily activities. This lack of energy leads to frustration and can significantly impact their quality of life.
Lifelong Depression
Depression can persist for a lifetime, often going unrecognized by the person experiencing it. Many individuals adapt to living with depression, unaware that their constant low energy and underlying sadness are not normal. This condition is often rooted in childhood experiences, such as a lack of unconditional love or supportive relationships, which can lead to a lifelong sense of inadequacy and depression.
What It Feels Like to Have Depression
Living with depression can feel like a constant battle against exhaustion. It’s not just about feeling sad; it’s about lacking the energy needed for daily life. This depletion makes it difficult to engage with others, accomplish goals, or even get out of bed. People with depression often have to limit their activities and make difficult decisions about how to allocate their limited energy. It’s similar to having a chronic illness that saps your strength, leaving you with little energy for anything beyond basic survival.
The Impact of Nurture on Depression
Depression can be linked to the unmet needs of our inner child and the human spirit. Our spirits need nurture, love, joy, and peace to thrive. When we are cut off from these sources, whether by our own actions or the actions of others, depression can set in. This isolation, whether self-imposed or due to external factors, leads to a lack of nurture and a deeper sense of depression.
How Depression Therapy Can Help
At HealMyLife, we understand the multifaceted nature of depression and offer comprehensive therapy tailored to address its root causes. George Hartwell M.Sc. combines Christian-based counseling with trauma healing and an internal family systems approach to restore your core energy and foster deep, lasting healing.
