Question by Jo: How does hypnotherapy work? Does it really cure depression? Need more information. Read below.?
I have depression and I don’t know how to handle my emotions very well. Pressure and difficult situations make me really agitated and I dont know how to handle them..Anti-depressants don’t really work for me and lately my emotions have been getting more out of control. I can barely wake up in the morning feeling so bad.
I read somewhere that hypnotherapy works with results to treat depression. Is it true? How does it work? How many session do you have to go for?

Answer by Brian C
I haven’t tried hypnotherapy for depression but I heard an advertisement that said it takes about 3 sessions. I have used hypnosis to quit smoking though, and if it’s anything like that they have you relax in a chair, put on headphones and use your imagination to rid your mind of negative tendencies. It’s worth a try, I’ll say.

Hypnotherapy can work for depression but I don’t know if I’d believe the advertisement of 3 sessions. I’ve had hypnosis for anxiety (generalised anxiety, social phobia, panic attacks) and it’s been extremely effective but I think I went for about 8-10 sessions. It depends how ingrained the thoughts are. Give it a shot, it’s a lot safer than other alternatives for non-treatment-responding depression.
Hello Jo
Depending on the strength of your depression Hypnosis may not be the best thing.
If your clinically depressed, avoid, but generally depressed it can be a wonderful therapy.
How long will depend on the method used.
