Freud said depression is anger turned inward. That’s how Chrones Counseling approaches therapy.
At Chrones Counseling, we put a strong emphasis on treating depression, with our work based on what Freud said. Psychology research shows emotion suppression (difficulty in feeling feelings) in general, not just anger suppression, can lead to depression. And emotion suppression can also lead to other mental disorders as well, such as anxiety, trauma disorders, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, personality disorders and OCD.
But sometimes, even when we try, it can be hard to access our true emotions, in order to get relief from mental disorders. Deanna Chrones’ therapy of RELEASE™ can help you access suppressed emotions. Other therapy treatments offered at Chrones Counseling also helps uncover and manage suppressed emotions as well.
If it seems your emotions aren’t suppressed at all and are just “too much,” you might be overwhelmed by one emotion because you’re suppressing a different one. And the “irritability” you feel could be part of depression. The therapists at Chrones Counseling are deeply trained in treating depression, in all its forms, as well as the mental health disorders that accompany it. Your therapy session at Chrones Counseling will address depression and all aspects of your mental health well-being.

Feeling difficult emotions, and then releasing them in therapy and through physical movement will reduce symptoms of depression.
At Chrones Counseling, you’ll learn to manage your nervous system, for both anxiety and depression.
In your therapy sessions at Chrones Counseling, you’ll learn about the Window of Tolerance, how to manage your nervous system quickly when experiencing depression and anxiety, to make it easier to access the more difficult emotions—the ones that are really at the root of your issues. So, you can stop suppressing difficult emotions, with calmness, and get rid of your symptoms. And you can use what you learn very easily, outside of therapy.
This will all be explained in simple, straightforward ways in your therapy sessions, whether in person or online. It may be even more important for our clients throughout Illinois than our clients throughout Florida, due to the difference in weather and climate.
