Depression

Hypnotherapy can help with Depression

Working with Depression

Whilst anxiety and anger have some energy to them, depression is the opposite and shows itself as low or no energy, causing low motivation. Symptoms of depression are procrastination, low self esteem, as well as clinical depression. Luckily hypnotherapy can help with depression by helping get our minds back in balance. When our minds are in balance we take a healthier perspectives on the events in our lives. This can lead to more positive actions and a more optimistic outlook on life.

(NOTE: If you are suffering severe depression the first stop should be the GP and the NHS mental health teams, as medication maybe required as part of the initial treatment. Hypnotherapy is a secondary service that can support the GP and NHS mental health teams) 

Depression shows itself in behaviours such as:

  • Not wanting to get out of bed
  • Sleeping more
  • Withdrawing from life and social events
  • Not caring
  • Not looking after ourselves
  • Feeling demotivated

Depression robs us of our peace of mind and the joy in life!

Learn how the brain works and how to use it to support you in overcoming depression. Hypnotherapy is a recognised strategy for helping with this.

So how can Hypnotherapy Help with Depression?

It can help you with

1

The hypnotherapy process explains the causes of depression, it’s primitive evolutionary function and more importantly what we can do about. It is something with help we can control.

2

The hypnotherapy process raises serotonin levels which helps us deal with depression. Serotonin is the chemical that gives us that wellbeing feeling which makes us happier, more able to cope and braver. The way we generate serotonin is through taking positive action, having positive interactions and thinking positive thought. The result of these actions is we feel better more hopeful and so more willing to take action in our lives.

3

The hypnotherapy process addresses the negative thoughts which cause depression Simply put, think a negative thought, feel a negative feeling and act in a negative way. Negative thoughts are naturally addressed when our serotonin levels are increased, when we feel better we think better. Challenging the validity of the negative thoughts also reduces their impact. Alternatively we can simply choose to think more positively 😊. Our minds can be thought of as a projector screen, what we project on the screen is what we end up reacting to both emotionally and physically. What difference would a more optimistic movie make?

4

The hypnotherapy process also helps us raise self-esteem. Self-esteem means we value ourselves and see ourselves as deserving. With greater self-esteem we are able to stand up for ourselves and have the energy and desire to partake in life.
