Hypnotherapy for depression

The reality is that depression can happen to anyone and at any point in his or her life.

Everyone can relate to feelings of sadness and unhappiness. However, depression involves much more intense negative emotions, such as hopelessness, helplessness and anxiety that don’t go away. Half of all people will only experience depression once. The other half of people experience reoccurrences.

When depressed, a person will imagine the worst outcome in any given scenario. The power of these negative images in the conscious and subconscious mind overwhelms and leads to inaction. This is often referred to as “catastrophizing”.

Clinical hypnotherapists use positive imagery to combat this behaviour and reprogram the mind during hypnotherapy sessions. The process involves replacing negative imagines with positive images that will relax you or release stress.

The goal of hypnotherapy is to enable you to shift your outlook from negative to positive. The process doesn’t rely on modern medication. As such, it’s a natural way to get rid of depression permanently. 

Hypnotherapy is completely safe for people who suffer from depression.

Hollywood’s efforts to portray hypnotists as evildoers wishing to con those who seek them out, leaves many people uncertain about seeking help. But all our clients at HypnoFit® are awake throughout the process, so they can’t be influenced into doing something they wouldn’t choose to do.

If you suffer from depression, you’re most likely not living the best version of your life. You might find that, despite your best intentions, you typically find it hard to move forward or change. You may be hampered by negative self-talk, doubts and anxiety. This cycle of behaviour can have a compounded negative effect year-on-year. When untreated, your condition can lead to other major psychological problems such as bipolar disorder or manic-depression.

Hypnotherapy works on the mind’s natural abilities to release stress by removing emotional burdens. It’s far safer to undertake hypnotherapy than to give up hope of finding a treatment that works.

Treatment of depression takes time, but through hypnotherapy the time invested is spent actively re-programming the subconscious mind with a view to making it better equipped to deal with triggers specific to you.

At HypnoFit®, we work in tandem with each client on a tailor-made treatment plan. Our goal is to empower you to approach situations that previously brought about negative thoughts in a positive way. 

Recovery times vary from person to person and can take from six months to a year or more, but you’ll start to feel better during that time.
