Depression

What is Depression?

Depression could be described as a range of moods, from the low spirits that everybody experiences to something much more severe that then interferes with everyday life. The more severe type is often called 'clinical depression'. Research by NIMH estimates that up to 20% of the population will experience it at some time in their lives.

A feeling of 'being down' happens with all of us and this is perfectly normal and natural. When these 'down' feelings persist for long periods of time and affect our day to day lives it is then known as depression. People suffering with severe depression can experience low moods, a loss of interest and pleasure as well as feelings of worthlessness and guilt. They may also find that they have reduced energy, tearfulness, poor concentration, reduced or increased appetite and weight, sleep problems and anxiety. A feeling that life is not worth living can also be experienced.

Depression can affect anyone, of any culture, age or background. About twice as many women as men seek help for depression, though this may simply be because women may be more prepared to discuss their problems than men.

Depression is often accompanied by upsetting life events, such as bereavement, relationship difficulties, physical illness, or job or money worries. Stress caused by physical illness, family problems or other upsetting life events can all contribute to depression surfacing. It is often also accompanied by anxiety, panic attacks, social phobia and generalised anxiety disorder.

There has been a suggestion that depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Whilst this may be possible in some cases it is worth considering that depression has increased ten-fold over the last half century and it seems unlikely that our brain chemistry has also changed to that degree. This would suggest that the root cause of depression is likely to be something else.

Talking therapies are rarely able to resolve depression permanently despite the treatment often lasting many years and costing thousands of pounds.

Pure Hypnoanalysis is used to reach and permanently resolve the symptoms. I believe hypnoanalysis to be the most effective and fastest form of psychotherapy avalable today for nearly all emotional and psychological symptoms.

I create a safe and confidential place for you to work in. Free Association, a wonderfully simple and completely natural process, is used which allows you to slowly bring to the surface your bottled up emotions. Your mind wants to bring up these emotions and will do so easily and gently when given a safe environment to do so. There are no regression techniques used. Hypnoanalysis can totally and permanently resolve the cause of unconscious anxieties allowing you to live a relaxed and happy life.

I offer a free consultation for you to meet me and decide if I am the right person to help you and also to answer any questions you may have. There is no obligation on either your part or mine!  Call me on 07812 948640 to book an appointment.

If I’m with a client you can leave a confidential message on my voicemail and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
