DEPRESSION
WHAT IS DEPRESSION?
It is chronic feelings of sadness accompanied by the following depression symptoms:
- poor appetite
- insomnia or hypersomnia
- low energy or fatigue
- low self-esteem
- poor concentration or difficulty making decisions
- feelings of hopelessness
- thoughts of death or suicide
Depression is serious and most people need treatment to be cured. It is a serious mistake to blame depression on a chemical imbalance. Most of us know that every thought creates a chemical reaction in the brain. It stands to reason that then you must have had an imbalanced (or negative) thought first before a chemical imbalance can be reflected in the brain.
Depression cannot be cured by the use of anti-depressants. Medication only suppresses the symptoms and brings only temporary relief. In addition, anti-depressants have various side-effects e.g. suppressing libido, causing drowsiness, nausea, headaches, weight increase, and inability to experience any emotions at all.
Depression is completely curable, no matter how severe, by addressing the root cause through methods that are able to access the subconscious mind, such as hypnotherapy. The more depressed the person, the easier it is to help the sufferer. When a person is suicidal, ready to give up completely, he/she is ready to let go of negative thought patterns and allow the natural innate happiness to come through.
HOW DOES HYPNOTHERAPY FOR TREATMENT OF DEPRESSION WORKS?
Depression is caused by negative thought patterns. These thought patterns originate in early childhood in reaction to negative events. It is imprinted upon the subconscious mind and is intensified through subsequent similar events in life. This creates a program in the subconscious mind which determines the way a person responds whenever these thought patterns are activated by life experiences.
The most important part of this program is formed in the formative years (0-7 years) of which the 9 months in the womb is the most significant. During the pregnancy the baby is constantly in a deep hypnotic trance and is profoundly influenced by the parents’ emotions, relationship and life circumstances.
An example: If a baby is unwanted because the parents have financial problems, the baby is sad and angry for being rejected. Unable to express these emotions, the baby internalises this anger and becomes angry with itself. This creates feelings of hopelessness and low self-esteem.
The most important cause of depression is unexpressed anger because of fear of rejection. Suppressed anger becomes depression. The expression “I am so angry I can kill” explains suicide. A person becomes so angry with him- or herself that they kill themselves.
During hypnotherapy the person is guided to view negative experiences from a different perspective e.g. being unwanted as a baby does not have anything to do with the worth of a person; it was only a natural human response of the parents to their financial difficulties at the time. The negative thought pattern e.g. “I am not good enough” is substituted with a positive one which restores the chemical balance in the brain. In this way all forms of depression, negativity and pessimism can be cured permanently.
