921a30e959a542ad3e1d4ea143943abf Depression Depression is affecting more and more people in Sheffield each year. One in four of the population will have direct experience of depression at some point in their life. How are these people meant to manage or control their depression?

The current approach many GP’s take with depression is to prescribe medication and/or CBT. There are a number of problems with this approach:

Potential Side Effects Of Medication
Medication Rarely Deals With The Root Cause Of The Issue
Waiting Lists For CBT Can Be Up To 12 Months Long

Hypnotherapy Could Be The Answer You Have Been Looking For

I use a combination of traditional hypnotherapy techniques, NLP and mindfulness exercises when I help people with depression. I am well versed with how depression can directly and depression can have a huge impact on an person’s life and the lives of their family and friends and I never offer such simplistic suggestions as “When you awaken you will find yourself much less depressed”. I know this condition is rarely successfully treated with such straightforward suggestions.

I also understand how other issues can be interlinked into depression. It is very often that depressed people are also overweight and/or smoke, lack motivation, have low levels of optimism and have difficulty sleeping. These issues can often be improved as a result of addressing the depression and can also be looked at separately. indirectly manifest itself. I also work from a position of direct personal experience. I had depression for over ten years so I will have a very good chance of being able to appreciate to some extent how you are thinking and feeling. I believe this helps me greatly in the work I do and means treatment comes from a position of knowledge, experience and respect.

How Hypnotherapy Could Help You

The use of mindfulness can be very effective in treating depression and it is something I use extensively in the treatment of this issue. Mindfulness has its origins in Buddhism and is a concept that involves the focusing of awareness on your thoughts, feelings and emotions as they occur. This focusing on the moment helps to stop the reliving/recalling of past events (rumination) or the worrying about future events (anxiety). These tend to be two things people with depression do LOTS of!

Mindfulness may sound simplistic but it is often the most simple and straightforward ideas that are the most effective.

Exercise Could Help Beat Depression

Exercise is also another powerful way to tackle depression.The chemicals the body releases when you exercise are one of the most powerful tools in combating depressed feelings.

Hypnotherapy can help you to exercise more. The cruel twist of fate is that when you are depressed you may want to do something but you just can’t find the energy or motivation to do it. Hypnotherapy can help you act on that desire to change yourself by increasing your motivation.

Instead of it being an up hill struggle exercise can seem appealing and achieveable. The great thing is, once you start exercising it gets easier and easier in future.

Being overweight can often go hand in hand with depression. Hypnotherapy can help with this also. As you start to care more about yourself and your eventual recovery so it will get easier to eat better, to do gentle regular exercise and to lose some weight which in turn will make you feel even better.
