Therefore the subconscious must be REprogrammed to effect a cure. Depression may be self-induced, in a period of acute grief. It hangs on in Pavlovian fashion. That it is a disease is simply an excuse made by inept therapists. A rapid cure requires outside intervention in some form, and there are many ways of doing it with varying degrees of effectiveness.
Some people use self-hypnosis effectively.
I think hypnoanalysis is the best therapy for long-standing depression. What I do is an abbreviated form without the hypnosis. The subconscious is not a rational, reasoning mind. I have helped thousands of people in classes and by radio and TV over a period of 30 years. I do not charge.
