Course Description
The very nature of chronic depression often defeats our very best therapeutic efforts. How can clients recover when they have no hope or interest? When they are battling with depths of despair and feel drained of all energy? When they persistently feel low in spirit and fatigued? When they continually torture themselves with accusations of worthlessness or inadequacy?
