HYPNOTHERAPY DEPRESSION AND LOW MOODS. MOOD SWINGS, DEPRESSIVE EPISODES, ANXIETY AND SLEEP

Feeling depressed, low or run down can strike us at any time. It can strike anyone, is very common and it is not a sign of weakness. When using hypnotherapy and NLP to help with depression it is very important to know exactly what depression means to you and how it is affecting you. This is because we need find the root cause and the work towards your solution state.People suffering from a depressive illness can in general experience significant and life changing benefits from hypnotherapy and NLP in a short period of time.

We will also look at any root cause for the depression and change the way in which you can look at this differently from now onwards, for starters it’s going to be something in the past – so the best place for it would be in the past, to put it behind you. We will be using a time-line so that you can not only be able to look at the past differently, see the future as being brighter and being more present to the moment.

Symptoms of depression

The symptoms of depression can include a loss of interest or enjoyment of things and activities, a loss of activity, lower energy levels, reduced concentration or reduced self-esteem and confidence. There is also often feelings of guilt, unworthiness, disturbed sleep, a pessimistic view of the future or reduced appetite.

Often connected to depression will be anxiety, insomnia, feelings of guilt, regret and other negative emotions. However all of these are words and lables which can manifest as a belief, now beliefs don’t need to beleived and therefore they can be challenged. Using hypnotherapy and NLP I can help you to challenge these beliefs and change the self-talk and affirmations that you have.

Symptoms of depression can include

  • Sleeping problems – insomnia, frequent waking and night terrors
  • Changes in eating habits such as eating bad foods, binge eating or struggling to eat
  • Drinking alcohol or using drugs, both legal and illegal
  • Stomach pains or IBS
  • Headache or Migraines

Stress is typically longer lasting and often does have some warranty, things such as losing a job or knowing you are going to be made redundant without having a new job, moving house, a break-up in a relationship, injury to the self or loved ones and death of someone close will bring an amount of inevitable feeling leading to stress. And with these mentioned things there will be a natural weakening of the emotional, psychological and physical responses and how they are connected to the body and mind. After time things usually do even out; but when they aren’t or don’t that’s when the stress will need addressing.


Depression may be endogenous, come from within, be a personality trait or a learned behaviour. It can be triggered by food intolerance, alcohol or substance abuse or an anxiety disorder.

About Anxiety

A simple explanation of anxiety is – something which hasn’t happened yet -, so when anxious about something you’re worrying about something which hasn’t happened at that moment in time. Often when it does happen it isn’t that bad, more often than not neutral and sometimes even positives can be noted. People can spend days, weeks or months worrying about something which hasn’t even happened. Anxieties are also natural and often have their purpose.

Some things you can do to help are

  • Get plenty of exercise
  • Healthy eating and a healthy diet
  • Have lots of sleep
  • Sufficient rest and relaxation time

And by

Limiting stress or stressful situations in your life 

Other disciplines such as yoga, Tai chi, meditation, simple breathing exercise and self-hypnosis are increasingly utilised alongside these techniques to aid recovery and healing
