It twists your thoughts, making you believe things that aren\u2019t true, even though they feel real. Here are 5 of the biggest lies depression tells\u2014and the truth behind them: Depression makes it seem like the pain will last forever, like you\u2019re stuck in a tunnel with no exit. And you start to believe that there\u2019s no point in trying.<br \/>\nDepression distorts reality when it tells you that your problems aren\u2019t \u201cbad enough\u201d or that you should handle them alone.

The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life&#8217;s direction.<br \/>\nAnd deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/comeuntochrist\/believe<\/p>\n<p>If you are in crisis, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at https:\/\/suicidepreventionlifeline.org\/ or 988 or your local emergency services.<br \/>\nCopyright Therapy in a Nutshell, LLC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the 5 lies depression tells you and find hope.
