Millions worldwide suffer from depression, manifesting as persistent sadness, lack of interest in activities, and a feeling of hopelessness disrupting daily lives. While traditional treatments like medication and talk therapy can be beneficial for some, alternative approaches such as Hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping are gaining recognition for their potential to treat the root causes and promote lasting emotional wellbeing. At the Hypnosis and Emotional Freedom Centre (HEFC) in Townsville, Queensland, these therapies are combined to help clients overcome depression, anxiety, and other related challenges in a supportive, safe and evidence-based environment.
Hypnotherapy for Depression
Hypnotherapy guides individuals into a relaxed, focused state of heightened awareness, described as a trance-like state where the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions. Clients remain aware and in charge throughout the session. For depression, hypnotherapy can help by uncovering and reframing old negative thought patterns, addressing symptoms like low mood and fatigue, and creating a sense of empowerment.
Research indicates that hypnotherapy is particularly useful when integrated with other therapies, leading to faster improvements of depressive symptoms. A review of studies has shown it can enhance overall mental health treatment by addressing subconscious faulty beliefs that fuel depression. It is most effective for mild to moderate cases and should complement, not replace, professional medical advice.
At HEFC, hypnotherapy sessions typically involve 3-5 sessions, focusing on discovering root causes of limiting beliefs and reprogramming the subconscious mind for the positive changes they are seeking. Clients often report feeling refreshed, peaceful and energized, as if they’ve had a restorative sleep.
EFT Tapping for Depression
EFT tapping, also known as the Emotional Freedom Technique, combines elements of ancient acupressure with modern psychology. It involves gently tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on emotional issues. This process is thought to disrupt negative energy patterns, reducing stress and emotional intensity.
For depression, EFT has shown promise in clinical studies, with surveys of multiple trials indicating it can decrease depressive symptoms more effectively than many other interventions. It helps by lowering cortisol levels and promoting a calmer state of mind, making it a quick, self-help tool for managing low moods. Many people find relief in just minutes per session, it’s easy for clients to learn for home use.
HEFC integrates EFT with hypnotherapy for amplified results, teaching clients how to use tapping to release trauma and build resilience against depressive episodes.
