What To Look For In A Therapist. The best method of treating Depression, one that’s been tested and proven, is a combination of cognitive, behavioural and interpersonal therapy. It should be brief, solution-focused and strategic. If it includes the subject of dreaming and how dreams fit into depression, then so much the better. Bear in mind that the dream factor isn’t too widely known at the moment. It’d be worth your while to chat to your therapist about the subject and see what their thinking is on this important matter. As we’ve seen recently, counseling such as the psychodynamic approach, gestalt, hypno-analytical and person-centred counseling and many others, should be avoided like the plague. Any of these approaches will make your depression worse. There’s no question of this.
