Beating Depression
Hypnotherapy
helps beat Depression
If you are suffering from
depression at the moment please be reassured that
it is possible to beat depression and keep clear of it for good. I
don't claim that you can beat depression overnight but then that's
only the same as many other conditions that people regularly
overcome.
The important thing to remember is
that it is very treatable and because of that there is no
reason why you, with the help of the effective, successful
techniques of Hypnotherapy, should not overcome your depression.
Depression can be
an extremely debilitating illness and many sufferers have difficulty
dealing, not only with the condition itself but, the sheer
unpredictability of Depression. The ups and downs that we can suffer
during depression, which can be quite severe at times, can make the
condition seem almost intolerable at times.
One minute you're ready to take on the
world and the very next minute you're as low as can be. This is very
frustrating for the sufferer and of course for their families or
friends as well as they try to rally around them. But, as I say,
despite its severity, there are a number of ways in which
Hypnotherapy can help you to first of all lift your depressive moods
and then carry on to overcome and beat your depression.
Symptoms of
Depression
Clients often ask me what the
difference is between severe stress and depression. The answer is
that, in many cases, there is often very little difference between
the two. Someone suffering from severe
stress may well experience pretty
much the same feelings and emotions as someone suffering from mild
to moderate depression.
There are several different types of
depression and clients can also suffer differing degrees of severity
within each group. However,
I have had many years experience in
helping people to successfully overcome the following issues and
concerns:
-
Extreme
exhaustion, lethargy or tiredness
-
Lack of
interest in pleasurable things
-
Consistent and irrational mood swings
-
Feeling
emotionally and physically drained
-
Feeling
overwhelmed, under pressure
-
Irrational emotional outbursts, crying
-
Frequent feelings of sadness
-
Eating
problems, bingeing or no appetite
-
Changes
in sleeping habits, early waking, difficulty sleeping or
sleeping too much
-
Lack of
concentration or memory loss
-
Difficulty making decisions
-
Feelings of worthlessness, guilt or feeling ashamed
-
Suicidal thoughts
These are a few of the ways clients
I have helped have described their
feelings, perhaps you can identify with some of them:
'I
feel absolutely dreadful, like I have flu but worse' 'I
feel as though a black cloud has descended over me and my life' 'I
seem to be thinking in black and white' 'Nothing
seems to cheer me up anymore' 'I just keep crying,
usually for no reason at all' 'I feel utterly pathetic'
' I spent all day in bed yesterday just listening to the
same CD over and over again' 'I don't want to talk to
anyone, even my best friends' 'I have absolutely no energy'
'I just want to run away but I don't know where'
' I can't even make the simplest of decisions' 'when
I do try to think of pleasant things I can't seem to think of any'
'I'm terrified I won't get well again' 'I sleep
for hours but still wake up exhausted' 'I hate myself for
being so weak' 'Sometimes I feel pretty good and then the
next minute I feel awful again' 'I'm having terrible
nightmares, I hate going to bed'
What Causes
Depression
Depression is frequently caused by a combination of things but
common contributory factors include:
-
Life
events such as relationship difficulties, divorce, bereavement,
career worries or redundancy
-
Lack of
self esteem - people with low self esteem can be more prone to
undue worrying, dwelling on problems or pessimism which increase
their chances of suffering from depression
-
Physical illness can contribute to depression, viral infections in
particular
Overcoming
Depression with Hypnotherapy
With the exception of Bipolar or some
of the more severe forms of depression, which usually require
treatments more specific to those conditions,
Hypnotherapy is
very successful in helping to people to beat most forms of depression.
Hypnotherapy, using a combination of
Hypnosis and therapeutic solution based techniques, provides very
effective ways of not only overcoming depression but, just as
importantly, provides positive methods that help you stay clear of depression in the future.
