DEPRESSION

Considerable clinical research supports the use of hypnotherapy in the treatment of depression.

Its effectiveness for improving self-compassion along with developing more positive thinking patterns is well-documented. Hypnotherapy can help with improving your decision making abilities, encouraging meaningful action, helping you to get things done instead of dwelling on what you are unable to achieve.

Hypnosis can also help with uncovering long-forgotten memories, unhealthy thoughts or underlying beliefs that you are holding onto, which very often are the source of low moods and negative thinking. It is subsequently very easy for people to fall into repetitive negative thinking (RNT) which in turn sustains these negative feelings. This repetitive negative thinking is commonly known as ruminating and can be so overwhelming.

Hypnotherapy can help people achieve a relaxed state of mind which then allows you 

explore the conscious and unconscious triggers that feed into these repetitive and negative thinking patterns. Once we understand these thinking patterns, psychotherapy techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can be used to alter how you are thinking and feeling. By altering these patterns you should feel a more positive outlook in life as well as becoming more self-aware, so that you can better deal with the triggers that impact on your well-being.
