When we struggle with Depression, it is important to have psychological flexibility. "It involves being open to experiencing difficult emotions and thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them. Instead of attempting to avoid or suppress negative feelings, it’s important to acknowledge and accept them as a natural part of the human experience. Simultaneously, individuals with psychological flexibility can maintain focus on their values and goals, taking committed action towards what matters most to them despite the presence of depressive symptoms," wrote Therapist Maythal Eshaghian.
