> What do you think? Do you feel depression should be treated with medicatcions or do you believe in this theory that we are depressed because unconsciously we do not want to help ourselves?I agree with Johann -- it's both. There is a genetic vulnerability, which can be triggered by life events and habits of thought. Or as someone much better with words than I am put it: "genes load the gun, environment pulls the trigger."
It doesn't sound to me as though you and your T have a lot of trust built up? What do you think? Is this a good fit for you? Do you get something out of this therapy? Sometimes a therapist can be good, and good for us for a time, but then we need to move on to someone who'll take us to a slightly different place on our journey.
I agree with Johann, too, about psychodynamic...
Good luck.
