A Clinician’s Toolkit for Treating Depression: Top Techniques to Move Beyond Medication – Elisha Goldstein

When most of us think of the word “anti-depressant”, we think of a pill, but science is now showing us that pills aren’t the only anti-depressants we have.

When we intentionally practice tapping into these natural anti-depressants, we begin to change our brains and uncover a more enduring sense of resiliency and well-being.

In this recording, Elisha Goldstein, Ph.D., provides techniques and strategies designed to improve outcomes when treating clients with depression.

You’ll learn how to use the brain’s natural anti-depressants to provide clients with relief from symptoms, improve emotional resilience, and be able to protect themselves from relapse of depression.

Within the session, Elisha will guide you through a process of creating a natural anti-depressant toolkit to support clients in creating an active plan that draws on their inner strengths for resiliency.

Additionally, you’ll explore cutting edge research looking at the power of our environments and relationships in influencing our thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
