| OVERCOME DEPRESSION |
|
Depression is awful. Awful is the best word that I can think of. It saps your energy, your drive, your life! And leaves you feeling empty...on a good day. Depression is one of the most destructive forces on Earth. In my experience, depression is almost always is a byproduct of the Stress Response. Depression is the other side of the coin of chronic stress and anxiety (click here).The Stress Response is a reflex that has been programmed into all of us. It's simply a part of our culture. But we were never designed to experience the Stress Response as a part of our day-in-day-out lives. We were designed to experience the Stress response as a "fight-or-flight" response to imminent physical danger. But most of us don't live in a world of imminent physical danger. This chronic experience of stress depletes our adrenal glands and the other cells in our body of the hormone serotonin. Without serotinin, we have trouble feeling happy, sleeping well, having appetite control, and we feel depressed. Oddly enough, the answer to depression, as I have experienced it, is to learn to take control of stress. And stress is so subtle. Stress is the sea that you swim in. If you were to ask a fish about water, it wouldn't be able to tell you much. It is no more aware of water than you are of air. Stress is what surrounds you and is so much a part of your experience that you don't always notice it. And yet it affects you profoundly. You swim in a sea of stress. And it robs you of your energy, your vitality, your life. It is exhausting! And that exhaustion is the root of depression. Thoreau said that we live lives of quiet desperation. That's depressing! Yet, when we learn to relax, the body naturally begins to produce seratonin, endorphans, and other "feel good" chemicals (that have no side effects!). Hypnosis can teach you how to relax, to let go. I can teach you to relax. I can teach you how to shift you focus of attention from the negatives and the pain of the past. I can teach you how to take control of your life back...and how to feel good...for a change. I always provide a consultation at no cost, in order to determine if hypnosis is right for you.Call for an appointment now. I'll get you in for a free consultation as soon as I can.P.S. When you come in for your free, no-obligation consultation, I'll give you a copy of my CD, "Hypnosis for A Change", as my way of saying "Thanks" for your interest in making a change in your life.
