Hypnotherapy for Depression: Overcome Depression and Feel Better

Take Heart! You Can Decrease And Overcome Depression With Hypnotherapy

I know- depression sucks. It's like this heavy fog mental health issue that weighs down your mind, body and -seemingly- your soul.

When you're in the middle of it, it's hard to see a way out.

As a licensed hypnotherapist who's worked with and helped many people with depression, I assure you- can you can get out it, decrease it, and stop it from being a controlling-factor in your life.

Hypnotherapy- a guided form of hypnosis- can help decrease depression dramatically.

Understanding Depression

Depression is commonly defined as feelings of sadness, having a depressed mood, and a noticeable loss of interest or continued pleasure in activities that were once enjoyed. It can include changes in appetite, trouble sleeping or sleeping too much, loss of energy, foggy thinking and overall loss of motivation. It can be triggered and magnified by many factors.

Depression is often linked with stored emotions, experiences and unresolved feelings.

If you, or someone you care about, is going through depression, I'm truly sorry! I know how tough it is. Please know- it can get better!

Can Depression Be Treated?

Yes, absolutely.

Depression stems from both psychological and physiological factors, and it can be treated. For some, healing may be gradual and may take time, but you can make noticeable progress with a few key steps. Therapy such as hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, cognitive behavior therapy make a big difference. The right therapy helps a person with depression to understand the source(s) of depression, and address those issues by reframing them in a healthier way.

When you reframe and heal issues at the subconscious level, the healing goes deeper and lasts longer. Environmental and physiological factors also contribute to (and can exacerbate) feelings of depression. By addressing these factors, as well by getting help from a trained therapist, you can experience remarkable relief. For some people, medication like anti-depressants can help. Anti-depressants aren't for everybody and sometimes come with side-affects, so check with a psychiatrist to see if they're right for you.

How does hypnotherapy help identify and release stored emotions and experiences?

Imagine a wonderful journey of the mind- like a movie that you and your hypnotherapist co-write. The hypnotherapist expertly guides you into the theta state of mind (i.e. very relaxed, but not asleep) and helps you find the experiences, thoughts & feelings that are not serving you (kind of like an adventure movie). Your hypnotherapist then works to put new context and meaning around these old experiences, and helps you to release them, or transform them into healthy and helpful thoughts, feelings and emotions.

How Can Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Help Heal Depression?

Yes, hypnotherapy is wonderful at helping to heal and dramatically decrease depression.

Most people who come to me who experience feelings of depression feel noticeably better after the first session, and dramatically better after just a few sessions. Often, people are shocked at much they process and address in the first session, and how they not only start feeling happier, but also find themselves doing more things to live a richer life after a few sessions.

A study conducted by Alfred A. Barrios, Ph.D., surveyed scientific literature, where he compared recovery rates for various types of therapy. He found that hypnotherapy had a 93% recovery rate after an average of 6 sessions. This was compared to a 38% recovery rate after approximately 600 sessions for psychoanalysis and a 72% recovery rate after an average of 22 sessions for behavior therapy. The study was titled "Hypnotherapy: A Reappraisal" and was published in Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice.

If you're curious, and you'd like to experience the relief and rise in motivation plus overall contentment that people who've sought out hypnotherapy have experienced, then give it a try! I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about this.

Why is it important to release the unresolved feelings as soon as possible after the triggering event?

It is important to release the unresolved feelings as soon as possible after the triggering event because if left unaddressed, they can become deeply buried and contribute to ongoing depression. Releasing these feelings allows for healing, prevents them from manifesting as self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors, and makes room for healthy growth!

What happens if the unresolved feelings are not released?

If the unresolved feelings are not released, they continue to be deeply buried- within the subconscious mind- numbed and ignored by different factors. While the unresolved feelings are "numbed" or buried, it does not mean that they're not affecting you; chances are, they are leading to self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors. As the unresolved feelings continue to ruminate and cycle continuously through your mind, it can contribute to ongoing depression.

How do these unresolved feelings become deeply buried beneath the numbness caused by anti-depressant drugs, addictive behaviors, and repression?

These unresolved feelings become deeply buried beneath the numbness created by anti-depressant drugs, addictive behaviors (think: binge-watching tv or social media; over-spending; drinking, drugs etc.), and repression when they are not released or addressed. The use of anti-depressant drugs, addictive behaviors, and repression further contributes to the suppression of these emotions.

How does hypnotherapy remove the underlying basis of depression and help transform unresolved thoughts and experiences into something more-helpful?

Hypnotherapy removes the underlying basis of depression by addressing and releasing the stored unhealthy emotions and unresolved feelings. Through the process of hypnotherapy, these emotions and feelings are brought to the surface and processed & transformed into something that serves you better. This then allows for resolution of past issues, dramatic relief from depression, and makes both space and foundation for upbeat feelings like hope, overall contentment and a further zest for life..

Depression treatment is real, and can help dramatically. In any one year, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, roughly 18.8 million adult Americans suffer from depression. Increasingly, people have overcome depression through hypnotherapy, which is an amazing mental health treatment. If you’d like depression help, and are ready to feel hope, optimism and let that fog of depression lift, then keep reading.

Is it a magic pill to get rid of depression? No, of course not. But does it work to drastically reduce depression (and other related mental health concerns), and often get rid of it entirely? Absolutely! Hypnotherapy is one of the most effective treatments of depression and similar mental health challenges.

This is not to say that psychotherapy, and (when appropriate, as per your psychiatrist) anti-depressants don’t play an important role for some people.

That being said, check out the results of the following study regarding treating mental health issues like depression, generalized anxiety disorder and other issues:

This study found that after 600 sessions of traditional psychotherapy, a person can improve on an issue (like depression) an average of 38%. When you’re feeling depressed, that’s a noticeable improvement for sure! That being said, this same study found that after just six sessions of guided hypnosis (i.e., hypnotherapy) a person can improve on any particular issue (like depression) by around 93%!

Healing You Hypnotherapy has had similar results in helping people to overcome depression, see brighter futures, and start living bigger, more-fulfilling lives.

So, What Kind of Depression Treatment San Diego Is Available Through Healing You Hypnotherapy?

It goes without saying that everybody’s circumstances are unique, and we know that your story (and your mental health) is like nobody else’s. So how can Healing You Hypnotherapy help you to overcome depression? To understand how and why it’s so effective at treating mental health issues like depression (in San Diego and elsewhere), let’s briefly look at what hypnotherapy is and how it works.

To start with, hypnotherapy is guided hypnosis, and is a lot like meditation with a goal. More-precisely, it’s like having a very relaxed conversation with your eyes closed. It's also an outpatient treatment, usually done virtually. (We do not do inpatient treatment).

Did you know that about 10% of who you are and what you do on a day-to-day basis (included feeling depressed) comes from your conscious mind, and 90% of who you are and what you do is driven by your subconscious mind? It’s true! So if that’s the case, then the memories, beliefs and behaviors that drive you (and me!) lie in our subconscious minds. That includes all of the memories, thought-loops, beliefs and behaviors that lead to depression having such a big hold on people. It really is what has such a big effect on our overall mental health.

What we, as hypnotherapists, do, is help you to relax down to your subconscious mind (while you remain fully-aware, and fully in control) and help get rid of those depressing superhighway thought loops (no judgment here- we all have some of these!). We shrink down the gravity and enormity of these negative superhighways driving our minds, and increase (or lay anew) thought-loop super-highways that serve you better. You know-we start laying more superhighways in your brain of optimistic thoughts, grateful thoughts, thoughts that allow you to appreciate yourself and your accomplishments (we know- you probably don’t let yourself acknowledge how far you have come, and we’re gonna change that!). And then, the more we shrink down the impact of those negative thought-loops and previously-automatic behaviors that reinforce depression, the quicker you overcome depression, and the quicker your overall mental health improves.

“So, How Many Sessions Do I Need To Overcome Depression in San Diego?”

Ok, so we don’t have an exact answer here. However, what we’ve found is that people typically experience a drastic improvement after just a few sessions. After 6 sessions or so, people are generally feeling much better, and asking to focus on other topics (including mental health topics like decreasing anxiety, and increasing self-esteem, improving focus or the ability to learn, getting better at attracting wealth, improving relationships and more).

“So, How Will You Help ME Treat and Overcome Depression in San Diego?”

Again, everybody’s journey is a little different, especially when it comes to treating depression and replacing it with hope, optimism, joy, ambition and living a fuller life.

Typically, initial sessions last around 90 minutes, so that we can get some more details about how depression is affecting your life, what other mental health challenges might be affecting you, and how you want to feel instead. Then, we’re going to give you some very powerful tools to keep improving how you feel (and reducing feelings of depression) after you finish your sessions with us. Next, we do some very powerful healing work through this guided hypnosis. Most of our clients report feeling so much better after the first session! Then, in sessions 2-6, the healing is multiplied.

We’ve had people report that they’ve spent $10,000’s on other therapists, for years, and improved their mental health only a little. And then, after a few sessions with us doing hypnotherapy, they report feeling their depression lift. This often happens when they came to us for a different issue- mental-health-related or otherwise- to start with!) and their lives starting to feel much better! Healing You Hypnotherapy San Diego has helped many clients heal issues directly and indirectly related to depression, and found their overall happiness, optimism and functioning to rise quite a bit.

“What if I have Major Depression?”

Even if you have major depression, it can be highly-treatable with the right mental health treatment. And thankfully, the stigma around mental illness is decreasing as it is increasingly recognized as illness that can and should be treated (instead of it being a flaw of a person) If you have a major depressive disorder, you may want to get diagnosed by a psychiatrist first. Again, while we are not psychiatrists and we do not diagnose mental health disorders or mental illness. However, each of us are a mental health professional as recognized by IACT (International Association of Counselors and Therapists) and have had significant success in treating depression stemming from different sources and related mental health issues.

“What’s The Difference Between Virtual (Online/Phone) Hypnotherapy and In-Person Hypnotherapy?”

Great question!

Prior to the pandemic, most hypnotherapy happened in-person. However, when lock-downs started becoming a mandate and the world was doing what it could to slow the spread of Covid, we started doing all hypnotherapy via phone and/or via video conference. Also, the awareness of mental health and mental illness became greater and recognized as being more common (and "more-okay" to seek depression treatment). And do you know what we found?

It’s just as effective as in-person hypnotherapy in reducing feelings of depression, and helping people to overcome depression! It's also just as effective at improving overall mental heath!

So really, while the world continues to figure out what’s safe and what’s not, we continue to offer hypnotherapy sessions via phone or video chat. When appropriate, we’ll do hypnotherapy sessions in person again (in the San Diego CA area).

Another great part of conducting hypnotherapy over the phone or via video chat is that:

1. We can serve anyone, anywhere!

2. You don’t have to drive to come to us.

3. You can show up to a session in a ball gown, or pajamas, or anything in between!

“What about substance abuse treatment, as it relates to hypnotherapy?”

Not surprisingly, many studies show that most people with substance abuse issues- drugs or alcohol- have underlying mental health or mental illness issues. This includes things like depression and anxiety. We are not a substance abuse clinic and do not treat substance abuse directly. However, because we do successfully treat depression, anxiety and similar mental health challenges, this often (in turn) helps with substance abuse. Please note- if you have a serious substance abuse issue, we still recommend you work with a facility that specifically treats substance abuse issues and or one of the very fine residential treatment centers in or near San Diego.

Here’s What Some Of Our Clients From Healing You Hypnotherapy Is and Have To Say:

Carlos G:

I have wasted several thousands dollars going to psychics to try to find a solution to

cure my depression and anxiety

. But now with only three sessions of hypnotherapy with Jennifer,

I have seen immediate results.

She has helped me connect and heal some parts of myself that I did not know they existed.

I now feel less depressed, and anxious.

In one of the hypnotherapist sessions, we work with my inner child. I take life too seriously. I get angry about everything. Now, after only three sessions with Jennifer, I am now less reactive to my environment. Now, I have trouble getting angry.

Also,...

I am more playful now!

Yesterday....previously I would have gotten angry, and that anger probably would have stayed with me for a couple of days. This time, it didn’t bother me. I didn’t get angry. I can probably keep writing about how Jennifer has helped me with hypnosis, but I don’t have enough space…

Margaret:

You asked me what results I've noticed... That

deep dark heavy weight in my chest and abdomen is gone

depression is lifted...

Thank you for helping me reach this spot.

Lotus:

l tried different therapists, psychologists, other private individual hypnotherapy

, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Focusing, Whole Body Focusing, Mindfulness, Self-talk to my inner child.......finding ways to get rid of those images, because l knew that image was affecting me, but, it just came out in my head whenever l felt lonely or sadness...

After having only one hypnotherapy session with Jennifer

, she

helped me realize or find out reasons

behind my 40+ year emotional disturbance, such as feelings of loneliness, sadness, wanting to be loved, wanting to be cherished, wanting others' compliments, anger towards males, self-doubt, self-hatred.....

… With Jennifer patiently and professionally guiding me in the hypnotherapy session, l felt safe and was able to touch my unconscious / hidden / forbidden but true feeling.

It was like clearing all the dark clouds

which covered the beautiful, sparkling and shinning stars in the sky.

The star

is now able to see itself much more clearly and

can shine on itself in the darkness.

It really helps me figure out a way out after being hurt, suffered and maltreated...

l am so grateful for Jennifer's professional leading, patiently accompanying, deeply understanding of my feelings, empathetic encouragement and non-judgmental attitude.

l felt safe and accompaniment from Jennifer's professional leading, kind-hearted and generosity.

Michelle:

"I certainly

wasn't expecting the (first) session to be so powerful

and to get right to the cause of the issue, I'm sure there are many more 😅

This was really an amazing experience

and I appreciate your expertise and kind, positive spirit..."

I know- depression sucks, especially severe depression! It's like this heavy fog that weighs down your mind, body and -seemingly- your soul.

Hypnotherapy- a guided form of hypnosis- is a wonderful depression treatment can help decrease depression dramatically.

You can "overcome depression" by restoring and instilling inner feelings of self-worth and happiness, at the subconscious level.

Depression can be more than feeling sad. Depressive disorder can cause emptiness and sometimes unexplainable feelings that can affect our outlook on the world.

Are you ever unsure of your purpose or lose hope when you get up in the mornings?

Are you often sad and feel like you are losing the joy of everyday life?

Are you struggling to fall asleep and finding it difficult to get up from "a funk" or "a deep sleep"?

Our depression treatment can help you rewire and change your mindset and outlook towards self-worth. Hypnosis reaches the root cause of depression that our conscious minds can't.

Healing You Hypnotherapy depression treatment can help you tap into your potential by training your mind to stop uttering negative and critical words. It will then replace them with positive, powerful, and uplifting thoughts. Our minds become more open to possibilities when we are in hypnosis.

How to Overcome Depression With Hypnotherapy

Depression is a common mental health issue that often includes persistent feelings of sadness, worthlessness, and low energy. It can significantly impact a person's daily life and relationships. While depression has traditionally been treated with medication and therapy, an increasingly popular option is hypnotherapy. This type of therapy uses guided relaxation and suggestion to access the unconscious mind and work through underlying emotional issues that may be contributing to depression.

Many people have found success using hypnotherapy to treat their depression, especially when combined with other forms of therapy. In fact, one study found that 89% of participants experienced positive effects after just six sessions of hypnotherapy.

Finding the right therapist is crucial for getting the most benefit from hypnotherapy. Look for someone who has experience working with depression specifically and make sure they are certified or licensed in the field of hypnotherapy.

Overall, hypnotherapy can be a valuable tool in treating depression and improving overall mental well-being. It may not work for everyone, but for those who do find success with it, the results can be life-changing.
