Why can’t people with depression or mental health problems have hypnotherapy?
I’m really interested to know. I can’t seem to find a definitive answer to this one…I considered hypnotherapy myself, but I have severe anxiety (I guess you could call that a mental health problem) so I decided not to have it. I don’t know why it’s not recommended though. Does anyone know?
it is not recommended because the health care industry wants you to be hooked on medications that don’t work , so you can stay sick, keep seeing your doctor, and keep taking different meds….try shock therapy to cure your anxiety and depression

Anxiety may have several sources but severe anxiety is probably neuro-chemical in nature. Altering your thoughts will only help psychological causes of the anxiety (like trauma) but probably not so much if there is a chemical imbalance in your brain… I myself suffered from severe panic attacks until I started taking Zoloft…

I have severe PTSD, an anxiety disorder, and a major depressive disorder that I’ve been dealing with for fifteen years now. When I’ve turned to hypnotherapy, it has been incredibly successful. Through experience, I’ve discovered that personally going to a hypnotherapist and having a tape made for your specific needs works ninety percent better than the standard cd’s you’ll find in a book store. The catch is that it takes a bit of an investment, since insurance won’t cover it. Once you have a tape made, patience is key - you have to listen to it twice a day every day for at least twenty one days. But your body/mind will start responding to the suggestions almost immediately. I had a tape made to help with my migraines seventeen years ago, lost the tape after a year, but to this day when I say my "trigger word", my entire body relaxes and my pain dissapears.
It’s not recommended because as with all alternative healing practices, if we had the options available and insurance covered therapies like acupuncture, massage therapy, nutritionists, homeopathy, even a personal trainer/life coach to help make lifestyle changes, the drug companies would lose money, as with rehab centers, and western medical doctors would lose their day to day small practices such as treatment for viruses, complications due to obesity, depression, chronic fatigue, insomnia - I could go on and on.
I’ve been on anti-anxiety medication for a few years. Although I’ve been able to wean down to a quarter of the doseage that I started with, if I don’t pick up my refills on time, I end up in the ER. The withdrawls are comparative to going cold turkey off heroin. So, if you haven’t taken anything yet, don’t start - or get a very small doseage and express your concerns to your doctor due to the fact that the anxiety meds are barbituates and highly addictive.
Another suggestion I have would be to look into a hypnotherapist that may have a sliding fee scale, or may allow you to make a small payment arrangement. I am a massage therapist, have a sliding fee scale, and am also trained in psychotherapy. When a lot of my clients come in for the first time, not only does massage help release toxins that are being held in your tense muscles, thus having a strangle hold on your blood flow, but a lot of emotions are freed as I work on the body. I help clients learn how to relax with breathing techniques, visualization, and when their emotions are released, I help them work through whatever issues they may have been holding on to. Most LMP’s don’t have the mental health training, but it’s not necessary if you look for one, a lot of the entire healing process comes naturally in that sense.
One more suggestion I have is to try yoga. I have a dvd called AM/PM yoga for beginners. It’s produced by a company called Gaiam, and the teachers are Rodney Yee and Patricia Walden. I’m SO not a yoga person, but the twenty minutes in each session go by quickly, and helps you mentally and physically prepare for the day, and wind down at night. The poses aren’t difficult at all, and it is very calming.
More than anything, follow your gut instinct. Only you know what you need, and if you find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed and focus on your questions about what to do. No matter what your spiritual beliefs are, whether you pray about it or not, one way or another the path YOU need to take towards peace and wellness will come to you.
I wish you the best. If this has been helpful at all, feel free to email me at adolphinspirit@yahoo.com if you have any more questions.
