Treating
Depression using Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy in Belfast, Portadown and
Newry, Northern Ireland
Depression
can be treated using hypnosis and hypnotherapy at Ulster Hypnotherapy,
Northern Ireland.
Depression and depression related symptoms can be resolved permanently
by me, Stephen Chan hypnotherapist, using hypnosis and hypnotherapy
in Portadown, Newry and Belfast, also within easy reach of Lisburn,
Antrim, Lurgan, Armagh, Dungannon and Dundalk.
According
to the Health & Well-being Survey DHSS 2001 people in Northern Ireland
are at greater risk of mental ill health than people in England and
Scotland. Everyone
has gone through periods of feeling fed up, miserable or sad and, ideally
during these times, we would call upon the counsel of friends or family
to help get us through. So, these periods wouldn’t last long and
we could get on with the business of living again.
But, what
happens if you have never dealt with your feelings properly and these
feelings along with all the others you have ‘bottled up’
over time don’t go just away, so you begin to feel so bad under
all that stress, that they begin to interfere with your ability to cope
with everyday life?...This is Depression.
Depression affects both the mind and body, and can present a variety
of symptoms such as;
• Loss of appetite and/or weight loss or, conversely, overeating
and weight gain
• Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping
• Restlessness or irritability
• Feelings of worthlessness, inappropriate guilt, helplessness
• Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism
• Difficulty thinking, concentrating, remembering or making decisions
• Thoughts of death or suicide or attempts at suicide
• Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that
were once enjoyed, including sex
• Decreased energy, fatigue, feeling "slowed down" or
sluggish.
• Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment,
such as headaches, digestive disorders and chronic pain.
And, yes, I agree that there can be hormonal and even environmental
causes of depression, as well as emotional ones but it has been my experience
that the ‘inner cause’ is invariably down to the stress
from deeply held, unresolved “bottled up’ emotions and feelings
that have been pushed down, in an attempt to push them away, because
unfortunately for many people they were never taught how, or allowed
to, deal with things that caused them upset effectively by expressing
and thus releasing them.
It’s
hardly surprising then that the word depression comes from the Latin
‘deprimo’ meaning ‘to press down’ or to ‘press
under’.
This is where
I come in...I’ll provide you with a safe, comfortable and non-judgemental
environment in which you can finally express, release and resolve all
these ‘bottled up’ emotions once and for all...without fear
of rejection, criticism or judgement.
With the use of ‘Pure Hypnoanalysis’ this process will only
take between 6 to 9 sessions; that’s right, 6 to 9 sessions is
all it could take for you to get back to the business of living again!
On a more
alarming note, recent research from a group of experts, led by Professor
Irving Kirsch, from the Department of Psychology at the University of
Hull looked at four commonly-used antidepressants and the clinical trials
submitted to gain licensing approval. They included antidepressants
regularly prescribed in the UK, including fluoxetine (Prozac), venlafaxine
(Efexor) and paroxetine (Seroxat). Their research suggests that the
new-generation antidepressants are largely a waste of time. A review
of clinical trials found they worked no better than a dummy pill for
mildly depressed patients and for most people suffering severe depression.
Even trials suggesting benefit for severely depressed people did not
provide evidence of clear clinical benefit.
The researchers concluded: "We find that the overall effect of
new generation antidepressant medications is below recommended criteria
for clinical significance." Professor Kirsch said: "The difference
in improvement between patients taking placebos and patients taking
antidepressants is not very great. This means that depressed people
can improve without chemical treatments."
