Depression and anxiety often go hand in hand, so we work with depression much the same way as with anxiety – by looking at the feeling under the microscope of hypnosis and discovering the subtle, negative thoughts that make up the heavy, stuck feeling of depression. Uncovering these subconscious thoughts is the first step in diminishing their power to impact your life. They are nearly always untrue, and belief in these false thoughts gives them their power to affect the way you feel and live your life. When they are fully seen through at a deep level of consciousness, beyond the conscious mind, we can replace these thoughts with empowering ones that are based in truth.
Also, we examine all other contributing factors to depression, such as the food that is fueling your body. Since there is a food/mood connection, certain foods will contribute to a lighter feeling. Exercise is also scientifically proven to help the neurotransmitters fire across the chemical serotonin in your brain.
