Depression Therapist
Whether it is clinical depression, major depressive disorder or post natal depression,
mild, severe, with or without suicidal idealisation, an individual has the ability
to break up their negative cognition’s, if they want to. It is a very important step
to recognise depression and then to obtain help. I sometimes say to someone that
is depressed, it is brilliant that you have the ability to think and feel negatively,
and as you have such a brilliant ability to think and feel negatively, you also have
a brilliant ability, to think and feel positively, that is what you will be doing
slowly and gradually.
From information obtained at the first free initial consultation, we are able to
draw up a plan of action, and work together to build better coping skills for life.
Everyone is an individual, therefore therapy is individualised to pertain to that
person.
A person that is depressed, does the same old things, day in and day out, more than
likely ruminating over the same old problems. The vicious circle and downward spiral.
When you do something differently, you will get a different and much better result.
It is knowing what to do differently that counts, providing a better future. Depression
is manageable and recovery is highly likely if approached intelligently and by a
skilled therapist.
Hypnosis
Hypnosis can be defined as a “state of relaxation at one with a state of heightened
awareness induced by suggestion” where the person is pleasantly and completely relaxed.
There is a very pleasant feeling once hypnotised and it is quite normal and non-magical.
When a person is in the ‘hypnotic state’, you are very focused, attentive and responsive
to new ideas and positive possibilities.
The therapist is a guide, there is no question of being controlled or manipulated,
a person is able to think and hear everything, your mind will be in control of the
situation.
Hypnosis does not cure anything, it is used as a therapeutic tool to assist the subconscious
mind to take on board suggestions that are for the client’s benefit, without the
conscious mind causing interference.
Hypnosis is used by many health care professionals such as doctors, psychologists,
psychotherapists and dental surgeons throughout the world on a daily basis.
Psychotherapy and cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT, is well established in treating
depression, incorporated with hypnosis provides positive outcomes, within the brief
therapy framework.
