I have been using a counseling technique that I have been developing over the last few years that has been especially effective with 12-25 year old males dealing with depression and addiction. This population has historically been treatment resistant. By going to the gym, putting the clients through increasingly more intensive workouts and talking after the workout, the clients are more willing to have an open dialogue. Over the last 6 months I have worked with 11 males that meet the criteria I mentioned above. All 11 have remained in recovery and report either minimum or no depression, all are working or in school. I look forward to expanding this program and fine tuning it more. I am not posting this to be self serving or out of arrogance, rather I am excited at the possibilities and implication of these early results. This also is supportive of my belief that exercise is simple the best self care activity available to us.
