Denise is described as having “nonchronic depression” which appeared most recently at the onset of her husband’s diagnosis with brain cancer. Her symptoms were loneliness, difficulty coping with daily life, and sadness.
Denise contacted us for a free consultation and we started telehealth therapy with an SDQ assessment to work out what was needed.
We then worked with Denise over 9 consecutive weeks. She enjoyed being able to honestly share how she was feeling in a non judgemental environment. Denise also completed the in session therapy games and used these to help her sleep.
Denise has now taken up yoga and lost weight. She has been able to access funding and care to give her some time apart from her husband, so she had ‘take up’ time and some rest.
