Hypnosis for Depression
Depression afflicts millions of people in America every year.
For some, it is a brief episode which occurs only once in their life
time. However, for many it can be chronic or recurrent, and can
significantly impact their lives. It can become a very debilitating
condition, and for a small percentage, it even leads to suicide. While drug
companies scream the effectiveness of their latest anti-depressant, anyone
who has battled the disorder knows that medications do not always
help, or they may not help 100%, and some of the side effects can bring misery.
Hypnosis has become recognized as a potentially effective treatment for many individuals with depression. Some recent studies have shown that it is more effective than cognitive-behavioral therapy, which is the most common therapy approach in treating clinical depression. While Hypnosis does not work for everyone, it can definitely be worth considering if depression is seriously affecting your life.
Hypnosis for depression can help address the underlying cause as well as help individuals find much more effective coping behaviors. It can also help people achieve a happier mood and decrease or dispel the pessimistic and negative thoughts that generally accompany depression. Hypnotherapy for this disorder typically use a combination of suggestion and imagery, as well as specialized anchors, to bring about positive changes in the unconscious processes of the depressed individual. People who undergo hypnosis for this disorder will often experience a new sense of freedom and a greater sense of control over their thoughts, their mood, and their life in general.
Since anxiety and stress often goes hand in hand with depression, hypnosis can also be very beneficial because it helps reduce and often alleviate the anxious thoughts and feelings. Rather than remain stuck in the vicious cycle of painful thoughts and feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and hopelessness, hypnosis can help the person to develop a more positive outlook by using powerful suggestions. Rather than going through life reacting to difficult situations that would previously have felt overwhelming or hopeless, the individual learns how to respond effectively.
During a hypnosis session positive affirmations and suggestions are implemented into your subconscious once the client reaches a state of deep relaxation. It is during this relaxed state that positive suggestions are very effective. For example, positive and present tense statements such as “I feel happy and optimistic, and am in control of my life”, or “I am a worthwhile person who has much to offer others” may be used.
While not all depression is triggered by a traumatic or painful event, hypnosis can be a useful technique to help the individual learn new responses to painful triggers if indicated. It can also help the individual access distressful memories which were repressed yet contribute to the depressed mood. Hypnosis can bring those into conscious awareness and help the individual let go of painful or sad emotions associated with the event. Healthy and more positive associations which empower the individual can be learned to replace those which may have kept the individual depressed. In the future the individual will be less susceptible to similar events and will be able to respond to them more positively.
While almost anyone (90% of people) can be put into a hypnotic trance, hypnosis will generally be more effective if the individual feels both at ease with and trusting of the hypnotherapist; and the environment Some people will experience positive effects from hypnosis sooner than others. Many factors will determine how quickly effects are experienced. Children (over 6) respond more readily to hypnosis than adults, and will often experience significant improvement after just after a few sessions. Adults can vary greatly, depending on the severity of the depression, their personality makeup, their motivation for change and their openness to the hypnosis process among other things.
If you struggle with depression and would prefer to try an alternative treatment method, hypnosis is definitely worth considering. It is safe and many people have benefited from it for a variety of disorders and undesirable behaviors or habits.
If you do decide to try hypnosis, you can schedule an appointment with me, or you may also consider trying an mp3 (below) which focuses on freedom from depression. Keep in mind that while MP3 recordings may be VERY helpful, they will not be tailored to your specific needs which is one of the benefits of working with a skilled practitioner.

Seasonal
affective disorder (SAD), also called "winter depression" - is
considered a subtype of depression or bipolar disorder. While not
officially in the category of mental illness listed by the American
Psychiatric Associations, it is estimated to affect 10 million Americans
- mostly women. Another 25 million Americans may have a mild form of
SAD, sometimes called the "winter blues" or "winter blahs". The risk of
winter depression increases the further from the equator a person lives.
According to the Mayo Clinic, most people who have seasonal affective disorder have symptoms that start in the fall and continue into the winter months. Less often, people suffer from seasonal affective disorder that causes depression in the spring and into the summer months. People who work at night or who work long hours in buildings with few windows can experience SAD year-round. Other people may experience a bout of SAD during extended periods of overcast weather.
Seasonal affective disorder causes depression, lethargy, irritability and a desire to avoid social situations. It can also create an urge to overeat, particularly carbohydrates and junk food.
Seasonal affective disorder is also linked with a chemical imbalance that results from the decrease of light in daylight hours. Melatonin, a brain chemical that plays a role in determining mood, is produced in greater quantities when it is dark outside. This means that more melatonin is produced during the fall and winter. An increase in this hormone can cause symptoms of sleepiness, lethargy and depression, which makes it more difficult for the body to carry out daily tasks that require lots of energy and activity.
While these feelings of mild malaise come and go easily for some, each winter signifies a new cycle of depression for others.
