What’s a Stage 1 treatment like?

We work with clients for typically between 1 and 2 hours. During this time we’ll generally do the following;

• complete client information form
• complete depression assessments
• complete a broader risk assessment
• complete the stage 1 treatment
• schedule a follow up

During the Stage 1 treatment clients are coached through a programme that shows them how to come out of being depressed. They get to practice the process. This is primarily a coaching session.

What do clients typically experience after completing Stage 1 Shinnick Depression Coaching?

At the end of the Stage 1 Shinnick Depression Treatment clients often report feeling, lighter, brighter and happier. They’ll usually be very surprised that they are able to move from being depressed to feeling so much better. The process makes sense to them because they’ve been coached through it and experienced how it feels inside as they change this themselves.

Clients report moving from not feeling in control of their emotions to feeling in control of their emotions. They usually report that on a scale of 1 – 10 before the session they felt like a 3 and after the session an 8.

Following on from the Stage 1 treatment most clients find other things that had been of concern to them previously are no longer an issue. They often don’t have the Stage 2 treatment.

What’s the Stage 2 treatment like?

Firstly most clients don’t need the Stage 2 treatment. The Stage 1 treatment gives them the skills to change their depression.

Stage 2 can typically take between 1-5 hours. The sessions focus on removing the causes for the depression and supporting better ways of dealing with day to day life.

The sessions may include;

• follow up of the Stage 1 skills
• coaching of new skills
• talking therapies that are solution focused and derived from NLP Clinical Therapy
• this may include work that changes how we process information at a subconscious level utilising talking therapies and coaching.

We work with clients in less sessions than they had experienced previously. Many therapies will have clients talking about the problems in their life, going through the problems in depth and talking about them through many sessions. We don’t support this practice primarily because this is the key structure of depression. If we do this with clients then helping them reinforce their depression. This runs the risk of deepening or worsening the depression and the causes, particularly trauma, grief etc.

Our aim is to help clients move to where they want to be and have them finally let go of the process they had been running internally that had been causing them to be depressed. The Stage 2 Shinnick Depression Treatment focuses on clearing and changing trauma, grief, abuse, anger, fear, family or work issues, or unwanted skills and behaviours, and coaching new skills and behaviours.

What do clients typically experience after completing Stage 2 Shinnick Depression Coaching and Talking Therapies?

At the end of these sessions clients often report feeling, lighter, brighter and happier. They’ll usually find it easy to be in control of their emotions and feel good.

They’ll talk about things that had been in their face for so long as now feeling much further from them and no longer a big deal. They feel in control and can recall events or issues that used to overwhelm them, and are now able to talk about them, feeling completely okay to do that. This is usually a surprise given that these things could have been overwhelming them for 30 years.

Clients will often talk of a burden being lifted and to have finally dealt with a problem.
