Self Hypnosis Can Be The Key To Breaking Yourself Out Of A Depression

By: Alan B. Densky, CH

Some people call it the 'pits' and some people call it the 'blues' and some just call it 'feeling down in the dumps'. But whatever you call it, being depressed is a terrible feeling.

The most common types of depression are:

Major Depression, which is characterized by sadness, Insomnia, and a depressed appetite. Often when a person is in a major depression, there is a complete lack of drive and motivation and the sufferer does not want to do anything in life. Some people are completely disabled by depression, and some even contemplate suicide.

Dysthymia: This is a less severe form of long-term depression that generally does not totally disable a person. But it prevents the person from feeling motivated and functioning at optimum levels. Sometimes people who are suffering with Dysthymia are also afflicted with Major Depression, and when this occurs it is called double depression.

Manic Depression is also called Bipolar Disorder. This form of depression is not as common as Dysthymia or major depression. It involves cycles of the manic state, alternated with the depressed state. This is often a long-term chronic disorder. Sometimes the mood swings are very rapid. But more often the onset tends to be gradual.

There are numerous variations of depression; the above are only the most common.

Some symptoms of depression are:

Pessimism; sadness; anxiety; insomnia and other sleep disorders; feelings of worthlessness; guilt; restlessness; weight loss; pain; fatigue; headaches; and thoughts of suicide.

Sources of Depression:

As previously stated, there are several types of depression: Major Depression; Manic Depression; and Dysthymia being three of the more common forms.

Many types of depression are hereditary. Living in a stressful environment can lead to depression. A traumatic experience such as a serious loss, financial problems, or problems in a relationship can also precipitate a depression.

Women are twice as likely to suffer from depression as men are, but scientists do not know why.

If you are suffering from depression, you will want to seek the advice of your physician. He may prescribe drugs for you. But you should keep in mind that every drug causes side effects.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could control and eliminate your depression just by thinking certain thoughts? I know that this sounds too good to be true, but very frequently, various types of depression are simply caused by thinking negative thoughts.

Don't believe me? Then try it out! It's really quite basic and simple. Just use your imagination to think about something that you find very sad or troubling. Go ahead, think about it right now! Then come back to this article.

So, what happened? If you truly got into it and visualized the sad situation, you started to feel unhappy and a little depressed. And the more you permit yourself to remain in that thought pattern, the sadder you'll feel. As you continue having sad thoughts and keep feeling sadder, you lead yourself into a gradually deepening depression.

The good news is that if you focus on a positive memory, then you'll supplant that sadness and depression and replace it with happy feelings.

Please pay close attention now, because here are the keys to ending your depression: Our most pervasive thoughts emerge from our unconscious. These are the thoughts that we find ourselves involuntarily thinking about during the day.

If the persistent thoughts that are continually popping into your head are about your sad experiences or problems, then you raise your levels of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Now here is the 'Light at the end of the tunnel': Since hypnosis is a medium that we can use to alter our unconscious thoughts, NLP and self hypnosis stress management CDs will quickly change the way that you think, feel, and behave. The best part is that the same exact techniques that work for stress management also work just as well for eliminating depression!

Listen to me now, because I'm going to tell you exactly how and why it is going to happen. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind. Specifically, it is the Alpha state of consciousness. We pass through the Alpha state as we are falling asleep at night. And we pass through it once more as we wake up from sleeping. We also enter the Alpha state when we are daydreaming and imagining.

The unconscious is the seat of our emotions, and it is similar to a computer; the input controls the output! Hypnosis therapy is a wonderful tool for engaging directly with the unconscious and reprogramming it to automatically divert you from negative thoughts, and towards positive thinking. It's a tool that allows you to bypass the consciousness to create positive expectations, which will then create positive feelings. You can beat your depression by using hypnotherapy.
