 What are the signs of depression?

 The Depression Alliance suggests that if you are experiencing four or more of the following symptoms for most of the day, nearly everyday, for more than two weeks, then you should get help:

 Tiredness and loss of enegy.

 Persistent sadness.

 Loss of self confidence and self esteem.

 Difficulty concentrating.

 Not being able to enjoy thingsd that are usually pleasurable.

 Undue feelings of guilt and worthlessness.

 Feelings of helplessness and worthlessness.

 Difficulty getting off to sleep or waking up much earlier than usual.

 Avoiding people, even your close friends.

 Finding it hard to function at work or at school.

 Loss of appetite.

 Loss of sex drive or sexual problems.

 Physical pains.

 Thinking about suicide and death.

 Self harm.

  We would not want to tell anybody to stop taking proscribed medication. Antidepressants are certainly effective at elevating mood by adjusting the activity levels of brain chemicals that control this.

 But there are internal chemicals that can be accessed via hypnosis and other methods that may alleviate mild depression -

Learn to relax - try hypnosis, yoga or meditation;

 Exercise - gentle pursuits such as walking or swimming lift your mood;

Changes to your diet - eating a nutrient rich diet with plenty of fresh fruit and veg can make you feel physically and psychologically better;

Get out and about - Interact with other people

Sunshine - Research shows that it can improve mood.

 How can hypnosis help?

   Hypnosis can help in a number of ways in helping to change  negative attitudes into positive ones -

  giving hope in a positive future;

 feeling relaxed, calm and confident;

 taking pleasure in your activities,

 feeling healthy and strong, with a healthy appetite;

  taking pride in you accomplishments;

 being focused and able to concentrate;

 an attitude of kindness.

 Through hypnotic trance we access the subconscious mind and can implant attitudes that will protect against negative emotions taking hold.  We can help change patterns of thought that may be deep seated in the mind. Changing the mind means changing your thinking, so you can rewire your brtain to change your attitudes through hypnosis.

 Thought Field Therapy will help you to reframe your mind .
