Low Mood and Sadness
All of us feel sad from time to time.
Sometimes we simply get out of bed on the wrong side and can find nothing good in the new day. As a rule our mood settles again by itself, fairly quickly.
When it goes deeper
But sadness can also have very particular triggers: separating from a partner, losing a job, physical complaints caused by illness, or the loss of someone close.
This feeling of sadness, reaching as far as grief, goes deeper. Depending on the trigger and on how sensitive a person is, it can last much longer.
In such a phase you feel misunderstood and alone. You have the impression you will never laugh again, and life seems nothing but sad and heavy.
What those around you often do not understand
After a few weeks many people expect you to be well again. Well-meant sentences like “you have to look forward” tend to make it harder.
You begin to hide your sadness. You function on the outside and are exhausted by it on the inside.
So a second burden grows alongside the first: being alone with the feeling.
Grief has no expiry date. It may take as long as it takes.
How life coaching with hypnosis helps
This is not about making the sadness disappear. It belongs to what has happened, and it has its place.
The dark curtain is drawn aside
Life coaching with hypnosis can draw aside the dark curtain within you, and you begin to see the first rays of light in your soul.
You find a way to live with the new situation
Little by little you learn to deal with the new situation in your life.
Not by forgetting, but by giving what happened a place where it no longer has a hold on you.
Positive feelings become reachable again
You regain access to your positive feelings, to joy and to lightness.
For many people the first moment of laughing heartily again is also a difficult one. That has its place too.
How it works
The first session lasts 90 minutes and costs 130 euros. It leaves time for your story, for setting your goal, and already for a hypnosis.
Each further session costs 90 euros for 60 minutes. All details are on my price list.
If it is about a separation, Forgiving and Letting Go may also be a theme. If you lack drive, see Increasing Your Drive.
Frequently asked questions
When is sadness normal and when should I see a doctor?
Grief after a loss is not an illness, even when it lasts for months. It comes in waves, and between the waves good moments are possible.
If the heaviness stays constant instead, without a trigger, with listlessness, disturbed sleep and a sense of complete worthlessness — please have that assessed by a doctor. Depression is treatable, but not by coaching alone.
Do I have to talk about the loss?
Only as much as you want to. Some people need to tell the story, others have told it often enough.
In hypnosis we work through experiencing rather than through telling. You do not have to put anything into words again that you do not want to put into words.

Important note: hypnosis accompanies and supports therapy; it does not replace medical treatment. Depression belongs in medical or psychotherapeutic hands.
