Depression has gone from being one of the least to one of the most understood of the many emotional disorders. It can effect any one of both sexes, has many causes, and as a result has many viable avenues of treatment. Mildly and severely depressed client’s find themselves in situations that are enormously painful and who need help to find a way out. It can effect you physically, causing problems such as eating, sleep disturbance, a lowered sex drive, fatigue and anxiety. Cognitively, depression can effect your ability to think clearly, making it difficult to focus attention, poor memory, causing someone depressed to make errors in judgement and decision making.

If they think about the future, they tend to project into the future the same kind of pain, hurt and anxiety suffered in the past. The client needs to make a decision today that will benefit him/her tomorrow. This will lead him/her to think, act and eventually feel differently. Hypno-analysis is used to treat a number of psychological problems including depression. Although psychotherapy produces results, the use of modern clinical and analytical hypnosis can bring a relief in a much shorter time.

At the Bristol Hypnotherapy Clinic the treatment for depression is generalised as a doctrine of ‘cause and effect’, every effect (the symptom) must have a cause. Hypno-analysis aims to reveal and therefore remove the cause, which relieves the symptoms. People that have been depressed for a long time, sometimes from their childhood days usually have difficulty being positive on a day to day basis. More younger people especially teenagers are becoming depressed these days. Teenagers are able to resolve childhood problems easily and having resolved these problems are able to come out of depression. By using the extraordinary resources of the unconscious mind one has the ability to make choices, that will bring about the kind of things that you want to have happen tomorrow, and in the future, which leads you to think differently, act differently, and eventually feel differently.

Depression

Post Natal Depression

Post natal depression occurs in 10 - 15% of women within a year of giving birth and have a one in five increase of being depressed after the next birth. Some females usually within 4 days of giving birth will feel ‘down’ and maybe tearful for a few days which is ‘normal’. However, some women continue to be unhappy, emotional, anxious about her baby, feelings of the inability to cope, feeling inadequate and may even feel guilty, perceiving herself to be a poor mother. Insomnia or waking during the night if there is no need, causes tiredness and lethargy through the daytime. Negative and poorly perceived thoughts create an increased depressive period that continues, for months and sometimes even for a year or more. Brief clinical hypnotherapy via a cognitive approach allows the depressed female to think and feel differently, looking forward to her joys of family life and living.
