Depression has many different explanations but simply put it is when for some people from time to time and for others more regularly and for others most of the time there is a very negative feeling within them that can be difficult to describe. This feeling accompanied with thoughts that are of varying degrees of negativity can leave us in a place that can be very difficult for us. There are many different ways to deal with this. Depression counselling with Walk & Talk Therapy is a very good place to start. The most important thing is to look for what is going to work for you. Depression counselling can unlock the doors to the suffering you are experiencing right now.
Depression has many different descriptions – we can also say it is when a person is experiencing some form of a negative feeling from within and it may be difficult to describe where it is coming from. The levels of negativity vary from mild to severe. We all experience negative feelings from time to time but sometimes these feelings can become overwhelming and for some ths feeling can be very persistent. The thoughts that accompany these feelings are generally very negative and there are varying degrees of negativity in the thinking.
Depression can become very debilitating for some. In some cases people can develop a lack of interest in relationships, hobbies, their work and even their family. When it gets even more serious a sense of disconnectedness can develop and unfortunately people can alienate themselves and this can make matters worse.
Depression Counselling Process
Often we can be misinformed abut depression and some think that there is little that can be done except take medication to cure it. However there is huge amount of research that shows that we can do a lot to move away from the suffering that goes with depression. The pain and suffering that go with depression can be helped. It is not necessary to suffer.
Depression counselling with Walk & Talk Therapy can be particularly helpful. With being in the outdoors it automatically creates a more positive feeling. We utilize these feelings to talk about ways to move forward with the depression counselling and also to find out what is causing the difficulty. We have a deep look at your thinking and actions as part of the recovery process to find ways of bringing change that will loosen the depression. Many report that even after a few sessions of depression counselling in this manner that change appears in how they feel. Even to go for a walk without depression counselling will help us feel a little bit better. When we combine Walk & Talk Therapy with depression counselling we have a combination that brings results.

With counselling in panic attacks it is very important that you can feel comfortable and somewhat relaxed while talking about your experience. The walk and talk therapy is ideal for helping to deal with panic attacks. There can often be a feeling of helplessness and even hopelessness when we are overcome with panic attacks. There can be a sence of “loosing it” or even feeling that no one else can understand this. The panic attack counselling helps us to clearly understand what is going on. Whats amazing is that this is a very common issue and with the correct attention you can move away from panic attacks and live a life that is free from them.
Panic Attack Counselling Process
What I do in panic attack counselling is to help you in the relaxed enviornment of the walk in the park, is to gently address the thinking and actions that surround panic and to build methods that will suit you to deal with them. When panic arises in us our thinking runs off into the worst possible scenarios and it appears to be uncontrollable but this is where we wil start to work to find the right way for you to address the panic. Another important part of panic attack counselling is that in the enviornment of the outdoors our body and mind is much more relaxed and this provides with the perfect way to find the answers that you need to move past the panic attacks.

Men tend to talk less about their problems. This is unfortunate as talking about what it is that is bothering us can have a huge positive effect on the way we feel and the way we deal with the many things life throws at us. There are many men’s groups available today in Ireland and many therapists who can be of great help. It is so important that we all find a way to bring us closer to a life that is more peaceful and happy. It is up to each one of us to find the way that suits and brings us to this place. Walking side by side while practicing psychotherapy can often be easier for men as it can be less intense and this makes for a more relaxing experience.
Even though we are well able to talk, as men we sometimes don’t talk about the stuff that bothers us deep down. A lot of us do not know where to start or do not know how to do it. Sometimes in society today it can be viewed as unmanly or weak for men to talk about there thoughts and feelings. We often believe that it is weak to tallk about how we feel. The saying “boys dont cry” still plays in the background of many mens minds. Unfortunately as many of us believe that it is stronger to be silent we do not get to talk about the many things that bother us. Loneliness, sadness, anger issues, addiction issues and sexual problems are among the many difficulties that we keep to ourselves. As we keep all these things to ourselves a build up of frustration and pain occur and we often suffer in silence. Alcohol, pornography and drugs are some of the ways in which we avoid dealing with our difficulties.
There are many healthy ways for us men to deal with our problems. With the type of counselling that I do here in Dublin we get to walk side by side in a park and we do our therapy that way. It can often be an easier way to talk to a therapist as we are side by side and out in nature. We do not have the confines of the office. As men we often find it easier to talk when we are doing something. This is where the Walk & Talk can be very helpful and lead us to a way to deal with our problems utilizing regular therapy mixed with being outdoors and walking.

Addiction is when we are doing anything obsessively in our lives. Some addictions are more harmful than others ie alcohol, drugs, gambling and overeating. There are many more addictions. Often these things have over taken our lives and appear to control a lot of how we live. Addiction is usually the covering up of some form of hurt within us and the addiction gives temporary relief to the difficulties within. It is most helpful to firstly find ways to move away from our addiction and then to uncover the reasons behind going there in the first place.
Addiction can be described as any behaviour that we do in excess that is in some way having a negative effect on our lives. The more obvious addictions that we see in counselling is alcohol, drugs, gambling, pornography and overeating. There are more types that are less well known like shopping, video games/internet, hoarding etc. They all have several threads in common.
When we are doing something like alcohol to excess it can seem that we have no control over it and that it has control over us. Some people will deny that this is the case and unfortunately will continue with their addiction until such time that they get a realization that they have lost control or when they hit rock bottom. For those who know that they cannot control it anymore whether through losing a job or partner or money etc. or through realizing this has got to end, they can seek help and find a way out through addiction counseling. It may seem like a huge task at this time as you may be in a lot of difficulty both emotionally and maybe financially. But you have to start somewhere and addiction counselling with Walk & Talk Therapy could be the right place for you to start. There is light at the end of this tunnell.
Addiction Counselling Process
The first step is to find the way in which to move away from your addiction. After that the process begins of learning new ways of dealing with life and its many issues. The main problem with addiction is that it is used as an avoidance mechanism. Rather than deal with what hurts us we find it easier to follow the addiction as it offers a temporary relief from life.
Addiction counseling with Walk & Talk Therapy can be the first step towards moving away from addiction and seeing life with new fresh eyes.
