Depression Hypnotherapy Program May Be The Answer You Are Looking For!!!
One of the most frequent reasons for visiting a doctor is depression in one form or another. Doctors will generally provide a certificate for a couple of days off and prescribe anti-depressants. Some medications don’t help at all, others cause a deepening of the depression, some cause weight gain that exacerbates the patient’s depression, and some finally help some. However, this only addresses the symptom and not the real cause of the depression. There is a difference between “clinical depression” and “situational depression.” There are times in our lives where anyone would feel depressed. If these feelings lessen and pass within a relatively short time span, then the whole experience can be seen as natural and not necessarily requiring outside help. It’s very common for friends and family members of those who are suffering from depression to lose patience with you, thinking that you can just ‘get over it. Or perhaps your family just doesn’t know what to do to help you. But when feelings persist for longer than a couple of weeks, it's time to get some professional help.
Anxiety and depression can work together in a vicious cycle.
Depression can cause a person to feel sad, lonely, and hopeless, and these feelings can cause the sufferer to feel very anxious indeed. These feelings of anxiety can bring out feelings of depression, and so the cycle continues.
The two main categories of anxiety symptoms, psychic anxiety (unpleasant feelings of fear, tension, and apprehension), and somatic anxiety (unpleasant bodily sensations, palpitations, sweating, abdominal discomfort etc), can both be largely contributing factors to feelings of depression. People with anxiety also tend to avoid situations that might increase their anxious feelings, and this can, in turn, lead to depression. Similarly, people with depression might avoid situations, which can cause anxiety for them. Some people suffering from anxiety and depression wake up without knowing how to cope and might turn to external substances such as alcohol and drugs in order to cope. So they don’t have to worry about worrying. It is common for a patient to feel anxious when not feeling depressed and vice versa.
Types of Depression
Major depression - a depressed mood that lasts for at least two weeks. This may also be referred to as clinical depression or unipolar depression.
Psychotic depression - a depressed mood that includes symptoms of psychosis. Psychosis involves seeing or hearing things that are not there (hallucinations), feeling everyone is against you (paranoia), and having delusions.
Dysthymia - a less severe depressed mood that lasts for years.
Mixed depression and anxiety - a combination of symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Bipolar disorder - (formerly known as manic depressive illness) - involves periods of feeling low (depressed) and high (manic).
Some Of The Most Common Contributing Factors To Depression Are
- Anxiety and Stress - Stress is caused due to bereavement, divorce, loss of income, or marriage Any of the things that might cause long-term anxiety in a person could go on to cause depression.
- Low self-esteem -An individual with low self-esteem is more likely to develop depression by developing negative thinking patterns. These patterns of thinking will cause the mind to seek out further familiar comfort zones in negativity.
- Illness - Physical illness and medical conditions can contribute to depression, not only due to their psychological ramifications (stress), but also because of the persons weakening health and reduced ability to cope with it.
- Genetic Predisposition - A person can inherit a predisposition to depression from the parents, it simply means that they are more likely to develop depression than the average person.
"Learn How Hypnotherapy Can Blow Away Depression And Rediscover Happiness And Reasons To Live"
Hypnotherapy works by shutting down conscious critical thinking to gain access to the subconscious mind.
When people are clinically depressed, they do not think clearly. They hold a pessimistic view of the future, unrealistic expectations, and are unusually harsh and overly critical of themselves. The suggestions I make during hypnosis help to change negative beliefs that may be exacerbating the symptoms. Depression hypnotherapy can help us remember this when the bad times come around and the beauty of this depression hypnotherapy program is that it gives you the power to create your own solutions without consciously thinking about them. In most cases, depression is a result of prolonged worries which don't go away. Many people find themselves developing strong bonds with their depression hypnotherapist and this relationship further strengthens your ability to face life's problems with confidence, without falling into the grip of negativity which in trying times can be very difficult to fight back. Some people do best with a combination of medication and therapy, and that's fine too. I will take a full case history and in conjunction with your doctor, I will devise the best strategy for your Hypnotherapy depression program.
Hypnosis can offer a positive way out of this predicament. Through the use of hypnotic techniques and language, the doorway to your subconscious can be opened with your permission and cooperation, and then, information can be introduced hypnotically through hypnotic suggestions.

Should I Stop Taking My Medication?
The answer to that is DO NOT stop taking any medications without the assistance of your Doctor.
Depending upon the type of depression you are overcoming and what sort of medication you are on.
Only a medical professional can diagnose you and decide whether you need medication or not. So I will take a full case history and in conjunction with your doctor, I will devise the best strategy for your Hypnotherapy Depression Program. However, don't take any comfort in thinking your depression is chemical ONLY. It IS chemical, but it is still a result of the thoughts you think and the length of time you dwell on them. When you are told that your depression is chemical, you have a reason to feel hopeless and accept drugs as the solution. Some people do need to continue to take antidepressants and continue with counseling and therapy. HOWEVER, most people who are depressed, sad and hopeless need to change the way their subconscious mind is dealing with thoughts and feelings, which creates the chemical state that leads to depression.
Your thoughts, memories, and traumas can create a chemical depression. When you change your thoughts and release the emotional memories, your brain will begin to change the chemical state that it is creating in your body and you will feel better!
Did you know?
- More than three million people in Australia experience depression, anxiety, or related alcohol and drug problems each year.
- Depression is currently the leading cause of non-fatal disability in Australia, but only 3 percent of the population identifies it as a major health problem.
- Each year, undiagnosed depression in the workplace costs $4.3 billion in lost productivity and this excludes Work cover/insurance claims, part-time or casual employees, retrenchment, recruitment, and training.
- On average, every full-time employee with untreated depression costs an organization $9,665 per year.
- Each employee with depression will, on average, take three to four days off work per month which is equivalent to over six million days lost each year in Australia.
- In addition to absenteeism, depression accounts for more than 12 million days of reduced productivity each year.
- Around half (50%) of people with depression don't get help for it.
- Research shows that the implementation of early diagnosis and intervention programs can result in a five-fold return on investment as a result of increased employee productivity.
The process normally takes approximately 4-6 sessions depending on how deep-seated the Depression is and how long it has been in place, response, and commitment from you, as opposed to much longer methods used by psychologists, psychotherapists, conventional Hypnotherapists, etc. It is impossible to be totally accurate as to how many sessions are required due to the differences in clients, but with the use of Hypnosis, NLP, Mesmerism and the desensitization of the past event compounding it with Posthypnotic suggestions & anchoring it dramatically speeds up the whole process.
Once you have this power to beat your depression, you'll find yourself bonding more with family and friends, having more confidence in yourself, and getting back to the same quality of life you enjoyed before depression became part of your world. It's unfortunate that there is such a social stigma attached to depression because if you stop ignoring it and confront it with the support of family, friends, and a Clinical Hypnotherapist, you'll often find yourself wondering why you didn't seek out help sooner.
