Over our lifetimes, one in five of us will at some point suffer from depression. At any given moment, between 5 and 10 per cent of the population are, to varying degrees, depressed. Women are twice as likely to get depression as men. Depression is a very common syndrome indeed.
But the great news is that Paul McKenna's techniques will help you fight off what Winston Churchill called his Black Dog. Reprogramme your mind to help overcome destructive thought patterns, get back on your feet and get on with your life. Follow the simple techniques outlined in I Can Make You Happy, listen to the free hypnosis CD that comes with the book, and feel the blues blow away. For ever!
Product reviews...
Over the many years I have walked this earth, I have tried hypnosis a number of times - to help me give up smoking (somewhat effective), to help me cope with depression (very effective), and to help me stop a nervous eating habit (utterly ineffective thanks to Food Lab
). But I admit to never having found CDs or movies to be at all worth the while... for me, it takes the human element to bring any hope of it working. (The food habit attempt was via a self-help audio CD in the 90's)
So I admit to being somewhat sceptical, and thus far more surprised and impressed when, after a half-hour sit-&-drift session at my desk with the headphones on and this CD playing in the work PC, I had a better night's sleep and awoke the next morning NOT feeling like I had been stuck on spin-dry cycle all night. (Which is my usual state after a 4am bedtime.)
The book itself is crammed with techniques to change your mood to one of positivity and happiness... and as you flick through the book you may feel somewhat overwhelmed by just how many exercises there are... but fear not! Not every technique will work on everyone... so the huge array of variety simply means that there will be enough ways to change your mental state, that there MUST be at least one in there effective for you... so my (non-expert) advise is this: Read through the whole book first... get a feel for what methods feel like they might just work, then start trying them. You may find that none of them give you the 'big answer', so your self-repair work may be best served by combining multiple techniques... it's not an overnight solution, after all.
Overall, I am sold on this... I wasn't expecting significant results but after a very short trial period, I have noticed drastic shifts in how I am handling tough pressure deadlines, inter-personal relationships, and most importantly - feeling better in the mornings without having to resort to caffeine or chemicals. Very pleasing, utterly surprising, well worth trying...
