Cognitive Principle Therapy
Treating depression
Depression=
4 brains out of alignment
DEPRESSION
Head Brain
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE FOUR BRAINS?Head Brain:
Negative rumination, resulting in a negative comparative
The negative thinking is made personal and not about behavior
Depression says “Don’t end your life- end your negative thinking.”
Process
Process
HEART BRAIN
The gut brain causes the heart brain to attach fear to one of the other negative principles.
Negative Principle plus fear equalsNegative ConcernFear to Paranoid fearAnger to RageCriticalness to RejectionAnxiousness to PanicConfusion to HopelessnessGuilt to Shame
GUT BRAIN
Negative rumination generates negative energy and a fight-flight response.
The negative- comparative- predictive loop causes ongoing fear and continues the fight-flight response and intuition, which is the way out, is lost.
GUT BRAIN
The ongoing hopeless feeling of the heart, combined with fear, changes the core self and the person looses their sense of self, which causes further loss of awareness and resilience.
There is loss of self-protection and boundaries to provide safety.
There is a loss of courage and the will to act to get out of depression
SPIRITUAL BRAIN
The constant rumination of the head-brain turned hope into thinking that things were hopeless
The heart brain feeling of hopelessness caused a further loss of control in the gut brain
SPIRITUAL BRAIN
Eventually, the depressed person was broken and their soul felt lost, unable to be recovered.
The attack on the person, rather than the behavior created resentment or contempt with the inability to forgive self and restore the soul
Depression is a very bad habit
Fear
DEPRESSION- WHAT NOT TO DO
Do not use talk therapy to go over the past.
Do not give the client goals which cause the client to feel they might not achieve them.
Do not let the client do nothing and avoid situations
CPT
DEPRESSION- WHAT TO DO
Spiritual brainGive the client hope, through awareness [ education that depression occurs through process, which can be reversed]Model hope to the depressed client
Head brainExplain the process that leads to depressionExplain how fear works when taken as a physical threat
Gut brainGive the exercise of emotional threat- physical threat [requires no decision making]
DEPRESSION- WHAT TO DO
Head brain- gut brainWho am I- nowWhat do I want?
- if influence, then fix the problem- if concern, then accept the situation- otherwise, let the subconscious brain take over
Who am I NOW?
Stop Thinking
STOP THINKING
Your subconscious mind works one million times faster than the conscious mind.
It can access all of your files, not only with ones you can remember.
It has a predictive mind, which can solve your problem, but not if you ruminate over the problem.
If you don’t have a pathway out of your depression then, pass it over to the subconscious to find the pathway.
No pathway
No thinking about “How”
