In psychology, motivation is often the result of action, not the starting point.
Behavioural Activation (BA) is an evidence-based therapy for depression that focuses on increasing meaningful activity even when motivation is low.
Research shows this can reduce depressive symptoms and improve mood by interrupting cycles of avoidance and withdrawal (Cuijpers et al., 2007; Ekers et al., 2014).
This approach is graded and values-based, not about forcing effort. Small, intentional actions can generate feedback that supports motivation and self-efficacy over time.
If motivation feels low, therapy can help structure activation and support sustainable change.
