Depression may seem like a death sentence. You are afraid you might be angry and reminded a relative crazy (we all have one!). Fear among clients is exactly that - he would end up like his crazy aunt that cause chaos and anger. He never married and saw my client because this is how it will end - mentally unstable and a single. Of course, the fear of driving stress and when all we can think of is what we do not want, it could be a self-fulfilling prophesy because this is a program that you have set your mind. Treatment consists of challenging the "evidence" about depression, about her aunt. My client can see understand that her aunt does have a mental illness, it is not depressed. My client is very different from her aunt as her aunt had been in and out of psychiatric institutions from a young age. My client was having a bad time which comes from a long relationship. With my skills as a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner I can help clients sort of what's going on inside her head on a subconscious level.
Another common fear among clients is a matter of taking the medication. Fear consists of dependency on drugs, did not want to take anything to delay pregnancy or fear uncontrolled. My view is to see drugs as a crutch - it is there to support you while you sort out what is going on inside. In time, you can be free of your medication depending on the level of depression. But it does not change you or weaken you. However, if you insist on not using drugs then seek hypnotherapy as a first choice treatment.
Many times I was told by the client that my last call them, if what I could do not work for them, then that is the hope. Talking does not make the depression go away; drugs does not make the depression go away and ignore the symptoms do not make depression go away.
The only way is to control the symptoms of depression. You have to accept now part of you but it does not have to define you. Once you can master the symptoms of depression, you are in control. When you stop fighting afraid to be "crazy", you get the control you have, indeed, a special gift - you are very connected with the sense of self. You become a great observer own - you can let your depression to signal when you need to take of yourself so that you are not the highest ever so high and low is not so low.
This anxiety within you, whether it's dealing with unwanted thoughts or do not feel anything, so it is important to re-establish communication within yourself and focus on how you want to be. There is still a stigma attached to emotional disorders and can you may find yourself using words such as "stressed" and "sick" instead of the word depression.
Depression itself will affect people differently. Not everyone who is depressed will have suicidal thoughts. When desperate and hopeless enter the mix, this is where the danger lies in those who suffer from depression because one day the pros and cons list that you create can be demonstrated that today is the day you leave this earth. Self-harm is a way to let the pressure build up. Looking for help. There is always hope but sometimes it can be hidden very well.
Hypnotherapy and NLP is the modality to help you move forward. They can take you from where you are now to where you want to be. You are dealing with the inside of your mind, where a sense of self we live. Patients with depression tend to have very sensitive such as children, creative and in tune with the feelings of others. It is a strength but a weakness if this is your view.
Getting control of your depression section will allow you to see what is the message, to accept it and to get it to work for you rather than against. Your mind becomes clearer and your energy increases. You can become an active participant in life again and find joy
