Self Hypnosis for Depression - An Effective Alternative Healing Method

Posted by Alina Caine on January 23rd, 2017

Each healing method or treatment has a specific approach towards healing a given condition whether physical or mental. When you look at allopathy, it is the biggest arm of medical science that treats millions of people every day. It basically is the most attacking approach towards fighting a medical condition. It involves masking the symptoms through drugs and medication. So, for it to work there is a need for the symptoms to exist in the first place.

With time, there are myriad other medical conditions that have come to light due to extensive research into human psychology that is beyond the reach of allopathy. Even other treatment methods such as Ayurvedic medicines or homeopathy have failed to produce any substantial improvement in such special conditions.

Addiction to a drug or any other such thing is a psychological condition, be it addiction to smoking, alcohol or any other dangerous drug. Researchers have spent decades and millions to find a solution to such psychological conditions, but the results of all such research programs have failed to bring forth any innovative ideas to find a cure.

An old adage, ‘When push comes to shove, a man turns an innovator’, serves these circumstances well. After having tried and tested all the popular healing methods, any person battling with addiction to smoking can turn to hypnosis for smoking cessation. Before going into the details it is important to understand what hypnosis is.

Hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person apparently loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction. Its use in therapy, typically to recover repressed memories or to allow modification of behavior, has proven beneficial for myriad individuals who had lost hope in other means of treatments meant for recovering from prolonged health issues like depression and addiction.

Self hypnosis for depression is one of the rapidly growing alternative healing methods in contrast to what most believe about hypnosis. Though widely considered to be controversial in its existence, hypnosis, when induced by a professional hypnotist, is very effective in producing desired results as the subject under treatment cannot voluntarily resist the directions or suggestions given by the hypnotist to him/her. The process of hypnosis  involves your consciousness itself and this makes it more effective over other traditional methods. It is more of a relaxed process that motivates your own natural resources. What makes it highly effective is the fact that during hypnosis a person is highly responsive to suggestions and directions.
