Break The Depression Cycle

People usually think of depression as an illness. But more often than not, it’s just another programme you’ve installed in your mind – and just as you put it in there, you can take it out. Like so many other self-limiting programmes, the solution is to break the links between the triggers and the behaviours, and substitute new behaviours in their place.

The problem with depression, though, is that it tends to feed on itself. It may start as a general feeling of unease which gets worse and worse, making the triggers and behaviours seem a lot more serious and permanent than they really are. And this can lead to a whole host of destructive behaviours like anger, resentment, defeatism, and feelings of utter helplessness.

At the Milton Clinic, the first thing we do is get you into a calm and relaxed state so that you can start to see things a lot more objectively. Then we settle you into a light trance state so that we can embed positive suggestions into your unconscious mind to help you deal with the depressing thoughts.

And if there are issues contributing to your depression, we’ll help you deal with them in a calm and detached way to help you break out of the cycle
