 How Can Hypnotherapy Help Depression?
Hypnotherapy can help get to the root cause of depression or
unhappiness.
Depression affects all parts of a person: their body, mind and emotions. It is
thought that hypnotherapy can address the subconscious part of the mind and can allow you to identify those
thoughts and emotions that have led to depression. Through the use of hypnosis, you can potentially obtain a
stronger grasp of your thought patterns as well as your emotions. Hypnosis is considered an effective means to
reduce the sadness and anxiety associated with depression by encouraging positive affirmations and
emotions.
Responses to hypnosis can vary a great deal. Your own ability to receive and
respond to hypnosis is the key and the technique of the hypnotherapist is secondary. Most people are receptive to
hypnosis and the number of people who can't be hypnotised at all is quite small.
With so many strains from everyday life, commitments that hold us
down and problems that arise, we carry on thorough our lives un-mended emotionally and mentally. We carry hurt and
continue as normal, letting the dark bubble get bigger and bigger around us. When and how it starts to draw on us
is a mystery.
Untreated depression, stress or just being unhappy can severely
reduce quality of life through a number of health issues.
Symptoms can range from insomnia, withdrawal from family and
friends, irritability, chronic sadness, appetite loss or even comfort eating and isolation. In many cases the
person may just be tearful or extremely angry. This can be caused by many circumstances, death, divorce, betrayal,
hurt or just events that have occurred which were beyond our control- shock, loss of work and many others that are
not talked about.
When asked what has caused this state of mind, the individual has
no answer and no solution. It’s a feeling that something is missing, the world has stopped and usually the question
is “WHY ME?”
Self-Hypnosis for DepressionSelf-hypnosis can be a complement to any hypnosis performed by a therapist and the benefit is
that it can be performed in the comfort of your home. There are books and tapes available to teach you
self-hypnosis techniques, or a hypnotherapist may also teach you ways to perform self-hypnosis. Self-hypnosis is a
way of encouraging a similar trance-like state that you experience in a formal session facilitated by a
hypnotherapist. The key difference is that it is not a hypnotherapist who provides suggestions for positive change,
but you who eliminates negative thought patterns and replaces them with positive ones. In addition, alternative
therapies such as hypnosis can be helpful because they allow a person to experience a greater sense of control over
his or her depression and health.
Medication, as perscribed by doctors, is not the answer to get to
the root of the symptoms but merely a suppressant. This is not ot say that medications don't work or are not
necessary, but they work for as long as you are taking them.
ASK YOURSELF:
• What is being done to treat the root cause?
• What is the root cause of this unhappiness?
• Will the medication make you happy or just suppress your
feelings?
• Will you become reliant on the medication to help continue with
your life?
• Do you want to recover and get back to the normal, bubbly, happy
you?
Hypnosis can also be an excellent complement to antidepressant or non-medication based
therapies. Many people experience depression but your feelings and experiences should be uniquely treated.
With hypnotherapy, you can address your personal negative thought patterns and hopefully replace your
depression with joy and fulfilment. Finding your trus self
within.
Being here means You Can change!
