HYPNOTHERAPY GOLD COAST:

“DEPRESSION – ANGER

WITHOUT ENTHUSIASM”

As a Hypnotherapist and

NLP practitioner, I take a

relatively simple

approach to Depression.

While each individuals depression is unique,

the common element I find with depressed

people, is that they find themselves

rendered virtually incapable of imagining

a future that is attractive, compelling or

worthwhile to them personally.

In other words, they believe they have

nothing worthwhile to look forward to.

When they cast their mental gaze and

imagination in the direction of the future,

they are convinced that all that awaits them

is more boredom, hurt, let down, futility and

disappointment.

Nothing to look forward to.

Let me tell you, when you believe, and in

fact are convinced, that there is nothing to

look forward to, THAT’S DEPRESSING !

In fact, it’s enough to depress anyone, and I

mean anyone!

Usually, people that find themselves in this

predicament, have experienced a series of

hurts, disapointments and let downs that have

hurt them to the point where they feel

downright angry.

In the abscence of knowing how to release

this anger in harmless, non violent ways,

most people then attempt to “disconnect

themselves from their feelings of hurt,

dissapointment, resentment and anger

which feel almost to painful or

overwhelming to deal with.

In the process of disconnecting from these

overwhelming feelings the person then

literally disconnects from all their emotions

including their capacity to experience

happiness and joy.

At this stage friends and relatives may

comment or observe that they seem to have

lost their smile.

So, in other words, the depressed person,

has in effect, attempted to protect

themselves from feelings that feel

overwhelming and negative, and in the

process, disconnected themselves from their

true feelings to the point,

where their ability to feel and experience

all emotions including positive ones is

largely negated, along with their ability

and capacity to imagine a compelling and

worthwhile future.

Hence, Depression.

My job, as a Hypnotherapist, is then to help

my client identify, reconnect to, and safely

release the overwhelming feelings from the

past, and to transform and reframe the

limiting decisions and judgements that came

with them.
