There are many things that can cause depression, but it usually happens in the wake of a traumatic event, such as the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a job. Many people also tend to report that they had never felt depression before a specific traumatic event in their lives.
A concern that those suffering from depression might have is dealing with triggers. Triggers are persons, situations, and environmental factors that can recreate the emotions felt in response to related traumatic events. They can be a deceased loved one’s clothing, a specific person, or even words.
Understanding the signs and symptoms of depression
In order to treat depression, it is important to know how to identify it first. While it is important to leave the diagnosis to the professionals, there are clear signs you could watch out for in yourself or in your loved one to see whether they might have depression. Here are some of these signs:
- An inability to get out of bed in the morning
- Letting go of hygienic habits
- Body pains
- Overeating or reverting to bad habits
- Trouble sleeping
- Crying easily
- Feelings of emotional numbness
There are various options out there for the treatment of depression and its symptoms. Many people often need a combination of therapeutic and medical, but that depends on the recommendation of the patient’s healthcare professionals.
Hypnotherapy can help with depression
One solution that is growing in popularity is hypnosis. The discipline of hypnosis has been around for a long time, with both professionals in the field of psychotherapy and patients singing praises of its success. It has been known to help with various conditions—depression included.
When treating depression, hypnosis begins by dropping the patient from their conscious mind. The whole person will be addressed on every level from the conscious to the subconscious, which makes it a holistic treatment that addresses causes as well as the symptoms.
Through this process, your “unfinished business” will be determined. This might be unresolved feelings, such as resentments, regrets, blame, anger, guilt, jealousy, insecurity and fear from a traumatic experience.
More often than not, these difficult feelings and unresolved issues are buried by the patient’s coping mechanisms. Clinical hypnotherapy unravels all of this and allows the patient to deal with these problems in a controlled and safe manner.
After these have been unravelled, the negative thoughts and feelings will slowly be replaced with positive affirmations. With patience and dedication to the process, long-term improvement can be achieved. Self-sabotaging behaviours can be resolved, replaced with better habits and mental processes.
