subject: Hypnosis Can Be The Key To Breaking Yourself Out Of A Depressed State [print this page]


Some people call it the 'pits' and some people call it the 'blues' and some call it 'feeling down in the dumps'. But whatever you may call it, being depressed is a horrible feeling. The most common types of depression are:

Major Depression, which is characterized by a sad mood, Insomnia, and a decreased or absent appetite. Often when an individual is in a state of major depression, there is a complete lack of drive and motivation and the sufferer doesn't want to do anything in life. Some people are completely disabled by depression, and some even contemplate suicide.

Dysthymia: This is a less severe type of long-term depression that generally does not totally disable the individual. But it keeps the person from feeling motivated and functioning at optimum levels. Sometimes people who are struggling with Dysthymia also suffer from Major Depression, and when this is the case, it is called double-depression.

Manic Depression is also called Bipolar Disorder. This type of depression is less common than Dysthymia or major depression. It involves cycles of the manic state, alternated with the depressed state. This is often a long-term chronic disorder. Sometimes the mood swings are very rapid. But generally speaking, the onset tends to be gradual.

There are many variations of depression; the above are only three of the most common.

Some symptoms of depression are:

Sadness; anxiety; pessimism; insomnia and other sleep disorders; guilt; feelings of worthlessness; weight loss; fatigue; restlessness; headaches; pain; and thoughts of suicide.

Sources of Depression:

Some types of depression run in families. Living in a stressful environment can lead to depression. A trauma such as financial problems, a serious loss, or problems in a relationship can also precipitate a depression.

Women are twice as likely to become depressed as men are, but we do not yet know why.

If you are suffering from depression, you will want to seek the advice of your physician. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medication for you. But keep in mind that every medication causes side effects.

Wouldn't it be amazing if you could control and eliminate your depression just by thinking certain thoughts? I know that this sounds too good to be true, but very often, various types of depression are simply caused by thinking negative thoughts.

Don't believe me? Then try it out! It is really quite basic and simple. Just imagine something that you find very troubling or sad. Go ahead, think about it right now! Then return to this article.

So, what happened? If you truly focused and visualized the sad situation, you began to feel sad and a little depressed. And the longer you permit yourself to remain in that pattern of thought, the sadder you will feel. As you keep having negative thoughts and continue feeling sadder, you lead yourself into a gradually intensifying depression.

The good news is that if you focus on a happy thought, then you will supplant that depression and sadness and replace it with happy feelings.

Listen carefully now, because here are the solutions to eliminating your depression: Our most pervasive thoughts spring forth from our unconscious. These are the thoughts that we find ourselves naturally thinking about during the day.

If the persistent thoughts that are continually popping into your head are about your problems or sad experiences, then you increase your levels of stress, depression, and anxiety.

But here is the 'Light at the end of the tunnel': Since hypnosis can be used to change our unconscious thoughts, NLP and self hypnosis stress management programs can rapidly change the way that you feel, think, and behave. The best part is that the exact same techniques that help reduce stress also work equally well for eliminating depression!

Now I will tell you exactly how and why it's going to happen. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind. Specifically, it's the Alpha state of consciousness. We go through the Alpha state as we fall asleep at night. And we go through it again as we awaken in the morning. We also enter the Alpha state when we are imagining and daydreaming.

The unconscious is the seat of our emotions, and it's like a computer; the input controls the output! Hypnotherapy is a wonderful tool for engaging directly with the unconscious and reprogramming it to automatically divert you from negative thought patterns, and towards positive thinking. It is a tool that allows you to bypass the consciousness to create positive expectations, which will in turn create positive feelings. You can beat your depression by using hypnosis therapy.
