Norwich Counsellor|Therapy & support for managing depression in Norwich – for young people, individuals and couples –
Counselling and Hypnotherapy can help you manage depression and maintain a more positive state during the darker Winter months. For many of us, the Winter season is a natural time of rest, reflection, and an overall slower pace. However, we sometimes find our selves working against the natural movement of the season and this results in low energy and mood. At times, we may feel sad, empty, or depressed. Hypnosis and meditation can help keep depression and anxiety at bay by alleviating stress and calming mind and body. A hypnosis CD will enable you to achieve deep relaxation. Regular practice can also increase our serotonin levels (feel-good, inner peace neurotransmitters.)
When we are suffering from depression, hypnotherapy and counselling can help to discover, and deal with, the underlying cause, as well as encouraging us to find much more effective coping behaviours. Therapy can also raise our mood and decrease, or dispel the pessimistic and negative thoughts that generally accompany depression and anxiety.
Personal growth requires ‘quiet time’ – to reflect. Winter is a good time to slow down and ‘go within.’ Many people find that counselling provides them with the time, and a safe space, to really look at a problem, or situation. It’s an opportunity to stand back, view your life with clarity and see where beneficial changes can be made.
Naturally, Winter is a time of conserving, replenishing, and gathering energy. So it’s a time to try and sleep for longer, and conserve your energy, pace yourself, and deal with one thing at a time.
“Do not try to fight it on your own! It is ok to take a step back; take a breather; recoup and most importantly ask for help. Those who love and understand you will always be there to catch you when you falling. Just let them know how you truly feel.” Positive Fabulousity – Inspiration for Depression Sufferers (facebook)
“A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you.” Joyce Meyer
