Lift Depression With Solution-focused Hypnotherapy
If you are coping with depression, you may well be experiencing lack of energy, low mood, sleep and appetite disturbance, a loss of pleasure in your usual activities, negative thinking and other difficulties which make it hard to see the meaning in life and things you used to enjoy.
At the heart of depression is the way in which we explain life’s events to ourselves, which is often a result of our past conditioning and learning. When we interpret bad things which happen to us as personal, affecting our whole lives and unlikely to change for the better, then we may find ourselves caught in a cycle of depression. Negative rumination (dwelling on these negative interpretations of life) cause us to dream a lot at night, leading to exhaustion in the morning, loss of interest in meaningful activity and sense of helplessness.
Solution-focused hypnotherapy provides a fast and effective way out of this cycle. Using deep relaxation, focused discussion, and rehearsal of new ways of thinking and behaving through hypnosis and daily tasks, the therapist will help you to:
- understand the depression cycle and how to get out of it
- meet basic needs which influence your health and pattern of thinking
- overcome stress, anxiety or trauma
- develop more resourceful ways of thinking about yourself and life’s events
- boost energy and enjoyment of life through new understanding and skills
- help you to take realistic control in your life.
Many clients find that from the very first session they can re-discover hope and learn practical tools to lift depression and make positive change in their lives.
