Depression - Why do I feel this way?

Everyone experiences low moods now and then, but depression goes far beyond just feeling down. It can gradually close off parts of our world, leaving us feeling isolated and detached. In the UK, around 1 in 4 people experience depression—so if you’re feeling this way, you’re far from alone.

What is Anxiety?

Depression can be linked to an ancient survival instinct known as the "freeze" response. Imagine an early human sensing a threat outside their shelter. Rather than risking energy and safety, they would retreat, waiting for the danger to pass. While this instinct was once essential, our modern brains sometimes activate this response unnecessarily, creating a sense of paralysis in everyday situations. Fortunately, neuroscience shows us that it’s possible to reshape these responses—and this is where hypnotherapy can play a powerful role. 

Symptoms of Depression

 Depression can range from mild to severe and may present with symptoms such as:


  • Sleep disturbances, like insomnia or excessive sleep
  • Persistent low mood
  • Withdrawal from social connections
  • Feeling trapped or stuck
  • Changes in eating habits, like loss of appetite or overeating
  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
  • Difficulty focusing or making decisions
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Overuse of alcohol or substances
  • Reduced libido or other sexual concerns


These are just a few ways depression can impact daily life.  Everyone's experience of depression is unique but hypnotherapy approaches can be tailored to help you navigate and manage these challenges effectively. 

What can be done?

Typically, medication is prescribed by medical professionals for depression and it can help alleviate symptoms. However, hypnotherapy can help to rewire your brain - change the way your brain responds to the world - reducing the tendency to react with the “freeze” response (which happens subconsciously) and starting to move your life in a more positive direction. Hypnotherapy can help you to produce more and more of your “happy chemicals” such as serotonin and dopamine which makes a tremendous difference to the way you think and the way you feel.
