It's Not Always Depression: A New Theory of Listening to Your Body, Discovering Core Emotions and Reconnecting with Your Authentic Self

Product Information

A big take-away from this book; emotions just are! I think emotions can really dictate so much about how we exist and behave in a specific moment, blinding us to who we are when we are not swamped in that emotion. Distancing ourselves from the emotion, and not attaching or identifying ourselves with it, can have a really big change in our day-to-day lives. Some studies have also suggested that you're more likely to get depression as you get older, and that it's more common in people who live in difficult social and economic circumstances.

She introduces us to The Change Triangle, a conceptual tool, a map, to understand our emotions and discover what we are doing with them that limit our awareness and growth. This may include stuff like allowing yourself to feel angry instead of feeling scared, or feeling “disappointed” instead of feeling angry. When you see your GP, they’ll try to find out if you have depression by asking you questions. These are likely to be about your health, how you’re feeling, and how that is affecting you mentally and physically.It’s Not Always Depression is author and therpaist Hilary Jacobs Hendel’s popularization of AEDP and a tool used in AEDP known as the Change Tangle.

I for instance am aware very often that my anxiety comes from illogical fear but that doesn't make my anxiety go away. It is also said that once you experience a "core emotion" you can then move on from it to a relaxed state but thats also not always the case, for instance greif sadness from loss of a loved one isn't an emotion you can simply feel for an hour then move on from If I stay in that emotion and don't throw up a "defense" as the author calls it I could be crying for days.IPT is focused on your relationships with people around you, and problems that you might be having with them.
