DEPRESSION/LOW SELF ESTEEM

Depression, low mood, and low self-esteem can present themselves in various different ways, but the primary feeling when suffering from depression is a feeling of sadness and feeling empty inside. It can be a very lonely feeling and the longer someone suffers from depression the harder it seems to get out of this feeling.

​

Other feelings or symptoms you may experience:

• Like you are stuck in a black hole and unable to escape

• Lack of interest in doing much at all, either for yourself or with others

• A lack of motivation to be sociable

• A desire to bury your head in the sand

• Limited interaction with others as it just feels like too much effort

• Low energy

• Appetite is affected (either by over-eating or no interest in food)

• The desire to sleep more (hypersomnia)

How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help

When we are depressed or low we stop producing all of the ‘good’ neurotransmitters that help lift us and make us feel happy, motivated and driven to do things. Solutions Focused Hypnotherapy stimulates the production of these good neurotransmitters and gives us a greater sense of purpose.
