i have had depreesion for over twenty years now ive tryed various thearpies cbt councilloring i have good days and bad but begining to realise that depression is a illness i have recently started seeing a hypnotherapist and im learning alot about myself i was bit nervous at first but its working at the moment has anyone else tryed hypnotherapy

Dear Duncan, I tried and felt that I was really helped by hypnotherapy.  At the time I knew what I needed to do but didn’t feel able or strong enough to do it and felt that hypnotherapy would appeal to my subconscious that is less affected by our day to day worries.  We are all very different but I would definitely say that hypnotherapy worked for me.  I wish you every success with your hypnotherapy.  Best wishes, Helen

dear helen thank you for replying to this post ive been to see my hypnotherapist today and been learning about the subconcoius think i spelt that wrong sorry anyway also learnt about 3 different charcters for people there is one called the warrior then the settler and the nomad its very intresting to find out about anyway bye for now from duncan

Dear Duncan, I too have heard these stereotypes on a course about archetypes.  I find it interesting too.  It’s so great that you are proactively pursuing your own recovery journey.  I’m really pro self help and pursuing the therapy we feel is right for us.  Whilst we should be guided by the doctors and professionals I think we know ourselves better than anyone and should also listen to ourselves.  Keep up the good work.  Best wishes, Helen
