Treating
Depression with Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy at 1066 Hypnotherapy
We all feel sad from time to time usually as a reaction to upsetting or difficult events and experiences in our lives but these feelings generally pass after a time. When these feelings do not pass or if they are so intense that they interfere with your everyday life then you can be considered as suffering from depression. But what does being depressed mean? Depression usually involves a mixture of feelings including; hopelessness, worthlessness, sadness, low self esteem, lack of confidence, anxiety, specific fears or phobias, stress, tiredness, lack of interest in sex, and even physical aches and pains. When you are depressed these feelings last long enough or are strong enough to have an effect on your day to day life. Depression is most often a secondary condition where the underlying cause is, say, anxiety, or a specific fear/phobia, or panic attacks, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD); in other words something which can be said to be "inside of you but outside of your control" and so you feel really low at not being able to cope as well as you would like or because life for you is really not how you would like it to be. The underlying cause is usually in itself severe enough to have an effect on your everyday life, hence the depressed feelings. As the anxiety, fear, phobia, panic attacks, OCD or whatever persists, so do the depressed feelings. A significant number of people with depression are prescribed anti-depressants which can work well to alleviate severe depression in the short term and give you time to assess your options but for mild to moderate depression and for long-term changes it has been shown that other therapies, particularly 'talking therapies', are more beneficial.
In order to uncover and resolve the underlying cause(s) of your depression a course of 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis will be required. 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis is an extremely effective, non-addictive, non-invasive therapy. It is broadly a combination of hypnosis and a special form of psychotherapy. The use of hypnosis dramatically speeds up the therapeutic process which would normally take months or even years using traditional psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. Unlike Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), traditional psychotherapy or counselling 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis aims to resolve the root cause of the underlying cause(s) of your depression and so brings about permanent relief rather than just a control of your symptoms.
