How it works
Disrupts the depression–inactivity feedback loop. Increasing contact with positive reinforcement restores a sense of mastery and pleasure, directly targeting the behavioural dimension of depression.
Most effective with professional guidance initially, but core principles can be self-applied. Requires consistent follow-through even when motivation is low.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
