Hypnotherapy for depression

Hypnotherapy can be really helpful for alleviating low mood, dark thoughts, low energy and a lack of motivation. People who have experienced a loss of interest in things, even things which they used to love doing, can find relief and a rekindling of interest through hypnotherapy.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a nice, easy and relaxing process, which is really helpful when our resources are down. It can take a little time to get positive energy and thoughts flowing, but going at the right speed and with the right support, people who have suffered with depression can and do get back to a full, fulfilling and happy life.

What is depression

Depression is different for different people, but can have a very negative impact on people's lives, sometimes over a very long period of time. It can happen in very different contexts, and to very varying degrees. There are many different treatments that can help.

Symptoms of depression

Depression can have wide-ranging and complex mental and physical symptoms, and can impact people's social activities and  behaviour. Symptoms which hypnotherapy can help with include:
  • Low mood
  • Negative thoughts
  • Loss of interest in activities and hobbies
  • Lack of energy
  • Sleep and tiredness
  • Avoiding social contact or interaction

How can hypnotherapy help with depression

Hypnotherapy helps by relaxing the natural protective responses often known as the fight/flight/freeze. Depression is the 'freeze' response. With gentle support and a calm, measured approach, focusing on positives and gently taking focus off more negative things, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help people build up their energy and enthusiasm and find their spark again.
