Lifting Depression

Depression can easily be confused with anxiety, however they are quite different. Think of depression as a slowing down, and anxiety as a speeding up. They are both intricately linked and you can quickly go from one to the other, in fact, you don't usually have depression without some degree of anxiety at some time and vice versa.

Reflexology treatments will focus on your endocrine system for a hormonal balance and your nervous system to stimulate nerve supply, as well as working the whole of the feet. It is incredibly relaxing and I have found it works in such subtle and wonderful ways when working with depression. Quite often it can lead you in many directions to help resolve those grey days, whether it be seeking counselling or psychotherapy or even resuming old pastimes and interests.
