What treatment ​methods and tools I ​utilized?


Generally in order:

Supportive listening, in detail, of events in your ​life. If I can sense the sequence and events ​clearly, both of us understand better and can ​deduce what to do or do not do.

Everything is part of a complex, multiple ​interacting parts system, the trick is to figure out ​what triggers what, and where are the most ​beneficial change points.

Analysis of variables in your life, starting from ​the earliest: genetics, upbringing, life history, ​and recent events.

Discern which life variables can be controlled, ​and which can't. Classical Stoic philosopher ​Epictetus said something like: The only way to ​happiness is to stop worrying about things you ​can't control.

Figure out a plan to change the things you can ​do in a positive way, which may include referral ​to psychiatric help for medication.
