No two people are the same, and no two people's depression are the same, either. The techniques you might employ to help a quiet avoider client dealing with depression won't work with a panicky depressive client, so identifying the type of depression you're working with is imperative.
Margaret Wehrenberg—author of
The 10 Best-Ever Depression Management Techniques and a presenter at the
Networker 2014 Symposium—has identified seven specific types of anxious/depressed clients and has honed different treatment techniques that are effective for each one.
In a clip from her session in our new webcast series,
Treating the Depressed Client, Margaret talks about working with low-energy depressed clients to understand how their negative thinking began and how to start raising their energy.
This is just one of the specific techniques for working with clients suffering from both depression and anxiety that Margaret will cover in this series.
