DEPRESSION
Do you know that one of the leading causes for disability in this country is depression? Maybe we wouldn't imagine that to be so from looking at the treatment statistics. Many who need help avoid seeking it on account of the stigma attached to depression.

According to statistics 18.8 million people have a depressive disorder in America.

Depression: 12% of the women
6.6% of the men.


Of those depressed persons, 80-90% who seek help significantly improve!

So you may be wondering- what actually is depression?

Well depression is mostly known as a very low state of being, which often includes feelings of hopelessness, heaviness, sadness, fatigue and lethargy, etc. It is a state that affects our emotions, including the mind, and body. It is virtually the opposite of being peaceful and happy.

This may appear simple to comprehend. However to a person experiencing depression, the state is anything but simple. And to overcome such depression often appears very overwhelming to the victim.

Often we hear people talk about depression as a disease, describing it as a biochemical imbalance in the brain that has to be corrected with medication. That maybe partially true. However I feel it is not completely true. Medication I feel can help. I would like to say I feel it is only a part, to overcoming the problem. In other words, it is a small part of the picture, and there is no medications on earth that can help people solve their problems. Medication I feel only treats the symptoms and not the cause! This is where Clinical Hypnotherapy can seek out the root cause of the depression.

The conscious mind, only occupies a very small part of our brain, and does not have the complete insight one needs. The unconscious mind is our memory bank. Just like a computer has its memory bank, we have the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind is our own infinite source of wisdom. Therefore we can use it to seek the real root cause of the depression with the help of Clinical Hypnotherapy. The unconscious mind has many untapped resources. It has all our memories, both good and bad. Memories of all those things that have happened to us and much more. Such knowledge and information is available to us and is easily tapped into. It can be tapped into with just a light state of hypnosis and utilised to help in overcoming the depression. We all go through highs and lows from time to time and most of us we get on with life. However, we are all different and in a depressed person, they often hang onto the lows and forget the highs or they dwell in what I call 'the negative mode.'

It is important in overcoming depression to look at both ends of the imbalance and give these people the awareness they need. We can do this with Clinical Hypnotherapy by looking at the patterns that contributed to the original cause and finding those memories that caused the imbalance and rectifying the problem. In other words, we find the root cause of the problem. Namely the cause for the depression, and then deal with it. I believe and feel that giving someone just an anti depressant is only treating the symptoms and not the cause! Or it can be said it is only a band-aid. Hence many people have to stay on anti-depressants for years. Then what happens?

Remember, you need to treat the cause!

Clinical Hypnotherapy can complement proper medical treatment.

It's as easy as picking up the phone. Discover your own true potential and become the person you want to be, the natural way, with Clinical Hypnosis!

PHOBIAS
Many people never seek therapy to deal with Phobia fears and often go through their entire life with those fears.

Often fears may exist in relative degrees of severity and they often include fear of flying, fear heights, fear of rejection, fear failure and even fear of success.

Fears are not always bad; sometimes, they can be valuable. They can serve useful purposes. For example in cases of driving they may cause the driver to be careful and cautious. Such as instilling caution in driving, locking doors, or being prepared for emergencies. However if that fear causes the alteration of a normal lifestyle, by maybe creating intense and sometimes irrational behaviour and such behaviour possibly causing a threat to that person's safety or well being it needs to be looked at.

Hypnosis can Help!

Some of the usual fear related phobias:

  • Fear of flying
  • Fear of heights
  • Fear of snakes
  • Fear of public speaking
  • Fear of being in confined area
  • Fear of being in open spaces
  • Fear of childbirth
  • Fear of Dentists.
  • Fear of flying
  • Even fear of driving

These are just a few and they can all be helped with Clinical Hypnosis or NLP.

That fear or phobia is held in the unconscious mind and Hypnosis can help by finding the root cause
of the fear and dealing with it. Or, we can utilise certain NLP exercises to overcome the phobia.

Then: You can be free of your phobias or fears forever!
