Depression management

CBT is an approach based on the idea that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. The practitioner helps the individual identify negative thoughts and destructive thought patterns associated with depression, then challenges them and treats the ear areas with cold laser therapy to promote more positive and realistic thoughts.

ACT is a mindfulness-based approach that helps individuals accept their emotions and inner experiences while engaging in behaviors aligned with their personal values and goals. The practitioner helps the individual reconnect with their core values and take meaningful steps to improve their life despite depression.

IPT focuses on interpersonal relationships and social interactions. The practitioner helps the individual examine relationship patterns and interpersonal issues that may contribute to depression, and then develop communication skills and problem-solving strategies to improve relationships.

In some cases, the practitioner may work in collaboration with a psychiatrist or a doctor to assess the need for the practitioner to intervene on the reflex zones of the auricle with cold soft LASER.

The practitioner may teach self-help techniques such as acupressure, mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation, engaging in enjoyable activities, regular exercise, and keeping a gratitude journal to help the person cope with the symptoms of depression on a daily basis.

In addition to these approaches, it's important for the practitioner to create a safe and supportive space for the individual, where they can express their emotions and concerns without judgment. The practitioner works closely with the individual to develop a personalized cold laser treatment plan for the reflex zones of the auricle that addresses their unique needs and promotes long-term recovery and well-being. Pain-free, health also begins in the ear.
