ALTERNATIVE AND TRADITIONAL BEHAVIORAL APPROACHES
Recent attention on improving health in America has placed an even greater emphasis on alternative and complementary modalities; and address the relationship between mind and body, the body's innate healing potential, and the partnership of patient and healer in restoring the body to health. Psychotherapy used in conjunction with hypnotherapy , or medical treatments is becoming a valuable alternative .
ANXIETY and DEPRESSION
Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy helps people with depression:
Understand the behaviors, emotions, and ideas that contribute to his or her depression.
Regain a sense of control and pleasure in life.
Learn coping techniques and problem-solving skills
When our minds and our bodies are overworked we start suffering from stress or anxiety or depression. Learning to relax and cope with stress can lead to a happier and healthier life. Through hypnosis, you can operate more efficiently, deal with situations more effectively and improve your relationship with others. When in a deeply relaxing trance you can uncover the roots or causes of your anxiety and learn to change behaviors, and unwanted thoughts. Hypnosis can help anxiety and despression disorders by directly decreasing anxiety and panic by inducing a state of relaxation. The therapist can use the hypnotic state to help the patient focus more clearly on issues that might be causing the anxiety and depression which they can later address in psychotherapy.
Psychodynamic Therapy for Depression
Psychodynamic therapy is based on the assumption that a person is depressed because of unresolved, generally unconscious conflicts, often stemming from childhood. The goal of this type of therapy is for the patient to understand and cope better with these feelings by talking about the experiences.
Interpersonal Therapy for Depression
Interpersonal therapy focuses on the behaviors and interactions a depressed patient has with family and friends. The primary goal of this therapy is to improve communication skills and increase self-esteem during a short period of time.
Medical Hypnosis
Medical Hypnosis utilizes positive suggestions in the treatment of both physical and emotional disorders.
It is dynamic, short term, and directed. It follows a medical model of psychotherapy which includes diagnosis, and is aimed at resolving the underlying unconscious causes responsible for 1) the physical or emotional symptoms, 2) negative thinking and 3) unwanted behaviors. It is extremely helpful in determining the origin/root cause of a person's problem, because it reaches regions of the mind that cannot be easily reached in the normal waking state.

As self-defeating thoughts and behaviors are eliminated, and are replaced with positive affirmations future progress and achievement becomes possible. Mood and energy levels increase, compulsive and psychosomatic symptoms decrease, and individuals can move toward self-direction. Positive feelings and confidence about life's possibilities become limitless.
