TREATING BIPOLAR DEPRESSION WITH HYPNOSIS

 HYPNOSIS SUCCESSFUL IN TREATING BIPOLAR DEPRESSION
I always believed hypnosis was contraindicated for bipolar. My colleagues were taught this.But in the last few years have met more and more hypnotherapist who successfully treated bi-polar clients.This amazed me when I first heard it. 
A client rang me over a year ago looking for treatment for the symptoms of Bipolar Depression.He had tried everything.He had spent over 2ooo Euros over the years on top counsellors and psychiatrists.He couldn’t work, had no leibdo and was desperate to try something new. Was on a cocktail of Meds.  Even though his quality of life was severely diminished, he didn’t suffer from any psychosis.Even when I talked about the risks of hypnosis triggering an psychotic episode, it didn’t  deter him.We had very good rapport on the phone and chatted for nearly half hour. 
But I still didn’t feel confident enough to treat him.So I referred him to my supervisor. 
She treated him successfully over a number of sessions.He was helped by hypnotherapy, He was back in work part time and was off half the meds.This I thought was a great result.My supervisor advised me that I would have been well capable to treat him myself.  
So early this year I got an email from a client would suffers  from bipolar.He was off work and had been hospitalized twice because of his condition. So he wanted hypnosis to help him get through this without going back to hospital.He had tried a 6 week course of CBT but found it didn't really help him.Was also taking  lithium, an antidepressant  and two types of sleeping tablets. 
He called his wife  "The Watcher"meaning she was on the lookout for any mania.He had a supportive family by all aacounts.Even though he was financially stable.His business was going through restructuring.And dealing with the banks was causing him great worry. 
I worked with his issues like any other client would had depression and worry management problems. 
He responded really well to hypnosis and was a great hypnotic subject.His depression was stubborn and hard to treat at times.But every week got a little better.After 4th week he really seemed to turn a corner.His wife, family and doctor were all very pleased with his improvement.He is back in work running his business part time, his worrying has greatly reduced and is off half the sleeping tabs. 
Off course Bipolar is on a spectrum.And he wasn't the worst case.But had been bad enough to be hospitalized in the past.I know see him every second week.Pretty soon his therapy will end.It was great to see someone coming so far in 5 weeks.At the last session he remember before starting hypnotherapy, standing in his back garden shaking from stress.Now he felt so much better and was getting his life back.And no hospital visit. 
Hypnotherapy worked where CBT didn't, even with bipolar depression.I wonder how many hypnotherapists treat bipolar these days.Thats the point of my article.Is it common, is it rare?   
This makes me feel more confident in treating this issue in the future.Of course great care has to be taken.If you feel the client is prone to Psychosis, still maybe contraindicated.Or treat in close conjunction with clients psychiatrist/Gp.I think with propper care and supervision Hypnosis can help some people suffering from Bipolar.Especially with clients how have tried everything else.Once the risks to client and therapist have been taken into consideration.

5 Ways Hypnosis helps to treat Anxiety

Hypnosis can help with anxiety in many ways.

1.Systematic relaxation.
Whats is unique about hypnosis that it reallly helps the client to relax.To calm their nervous system.
The sympathetic nervous system is whats gets us anxious,the parasympathetic is what calms us back down.
So by using deep breathing,visualisation,positive suggestions you are helped to activate the parasympathetic.
Of course we need some anxiety annd stress in life,to keep us sharpe.But when it becomes toxic.Its counter productve.And what we practtice  get better at.

2.Suggestions Therapy
So as we relax we are more ready to except new positve suggestions.Its easier to challenge old toxic negative thoughts. Managing our inner dialog is such a powerful way to break the anxiety cycle.This is similar to cognitive therapy CBT.But sometimes with CBT clients can see how to change how they think,but not always how they feel.Hypnosis works on both.

3 Revivification
In trance you can emotionaly relieve a happy memory.Thus releasing happy hormones.Changing how you feel.Then future pacing the feeling.Seeing yourself in the future with this calm,confident feelings/thoughts.
This is a technique I use alot with great success .Clients really love this one. This is the technique that often convinces that hypnosis is for them.
Negative revivication can help you identify and change subconscious progames.

4 Solution focused
Get in touch with your .inner resources.Amplfy them.Hekp you to become solution focused.Instead of focusing on the problem.And of course being more relaxed helps a great deal

5 Hypno- analysis [psychoanalysis]
Using hypnosis to regress back to memories and events that shape our present beliefs and feelings.
Sometimes events of our past haven't been properly or fully worked through. Sometimes called the frozen present. Theses events in our past can be running negative programmes in our subconscious mind. For some reason we just cant shake a belief or feeling about ourselves. Even though logically we know they aren't true. So by accessing and reframing these events with the wisdom of now, the past subconscious programmes are identified and let behind. If you can see it, you don't have to be it.
