If the answer is "Yes" to any of the above then don't worry, help is as hand. Hypnotherapy is a great tool for helping you out of depression, and when used alongside coaching and cognitive behavioural therapies, together we can find a long term solution to lift you out of depression forever and help you live a happy life.
Depression is often misunderstood and can be debilitating for the sufferer. I have many years of experience in this area and many different tried and tested tools to help you understand what is happening and help you lift yourself out of the mindset once and for all.
During our sessions together we will root out and address the causes of your depression, I will teach you methods to deal with this and show you coping mechanisms to deal with stress and anxiety as it arises, allowing yourself to lift the depression fast.
How does hypnotherapy for depression work?
Hypnotherapy is a very powerful tool for treating depression when used alongside other talking therapies.
Hypnotherapy differs from other therapeutic treatments in that it focuses on solutions to problem states and behaviours rather than simply seeking to alleviate symptoms of depression. Some of the areas a hypnosis treatment might address are resolving subconscious causes, changing behaviors, and improving self-image and core identity.
Some people report feeling depressed with no obvious or apparent reason. In these cases, there may be hidden, subconscious causes for the depression. One of the main objectives of hypnosis is to bring subconscious elements of the mind to the foreground. In the relaxed state of hypnotic trance, it is possible to recall long-forgotten memories, recognize unhealthy thought patterns or beliefs, and identify previously unconscious biases and assumptions. I will guide you to find ways to resolve these subconscious elements in such a way that emotional change occurs more easily.
Initially I would ask you to book for 4 sessions over 4 weeks, additional sets of 4 sessions can then be booked as and when required.
Addressing Depressive Behaviours.
Using a combination of "Talking Therapy" techniques and some self-analysis together we will find a way of breaking the habit of depression and depressive thoughts.
Depression can sometimes be linked to various behavioural factors such as diet, sleep, and exercise.
I would generally work to resolve these issues first, as in some cases behavioural changes are enough to alleviate the symptoms of depression.
I strongly advise that you download, and work through, a document called Depression Learning Path. It is free, and by working through it and completing the exercises you will already be well on your way to breaking the depressive cycle and lifting yourself out of the doldrums. I will ask you to complete this before I take you on as a client.
Improving Self Image and Self Esteem.
Whether they are found to be the cause or result, self-image and self-esteem can play a major role in depression. Hypnosis can help a person recognize and change flawed, habitual thinking about their inherent value and increase their sense of self-worth and self-love. This can be accomplished through guided imagery, positive affirmations, and post-hypnotic suggestions given while in the trance state.
Part of our time spent together will be spent working on your self esteem, and you will also be treated to my BLITZ Empowerment Protocol which is perfectly suited to do just this.
