What is depression?
When experiencing depression or anxiety it can feel as if there is nothing that will make a positive difference. This is not true. The very decision to do something is a significant one. When you are eventually over this period in your life, you may even look back on it as a “useful wakeup call” which signified that something needed to change. Depression is not your fault. It is experienced by millions of “normal” people. We all feel sad, moody or low from time to time. For some people these feelings are intense, for long periods of time (weeks, months and even years) and sometimes without any apparent reason.
How can I help you?
Time Line Therapy helps identify the causes and origins of the depression. Once this occurs people often describe it as “a weight being lifted” or a “light bulb moment”. The Time Line Process helps you recognise patterns of negative thinking you may be caught up in. Depression can obscure rational, realistic thinking, making everything in life appear awful, constantly. Releasing or changing past events linked to certain negative emotions and realising the positive learning from those experiences, allows the mind to be freer of the constant negative feelings linked to those events no matter how insignificant. As a trained clinical hypnotherapist, I often include hypnosis to help you overcome depression to enable you to focus on the present and work towards the future you desire. Hypnosis can re-process past experiences and memories that have sensitized you to continued depressive reactions in the present.
Lifestyle changes?
When you feel depressed, often a healthy lifestyle seems impossible. As part of my program, I help you improve your diet and motivate you to do some form of exercise that you enjoy. Other lifestyle changes needed such as alcohol abuse or other addictions, can be treated. How? Time Line therapy and hypnotherapy are very helpful in changing old beliefs around negative patterns of behaviour. Rather than thinking you cant change, it’s time to think you can change those old programs running in your head.
How many sessions?
8 sessions scheduled on a weekly basis. We have found that following this program, changes occur weekly strengthening how you think, feel and ultimately behave.
We provide a special price for the 8 week program verses booking single sessions. Save up to $120.
