Depression can make life feel heavy, flat, and difficult to engage with. Even simple tasks may take effort, and the sense of enjoyment or purpose that once felt natural can seem far away.
This experience is not a sign of weakness, and it is not something people simply choose. Depression can affect thoughts, energy, motivation, and emotional resilience, often making it hard to imagine things feeling different.
- Support inner change at a deeper level
- Encourage a more hopeful direction
- Let go of emotional heaviness
- Support renewed strength and resilience
This self hypnosis session was created to support emotional change from within, using hypnosis to work with patterns of thought and feeling at a deeper level.
Please note: this title has been discontinued. We now recommend our more comprehensive course, 7 Steps to Overcoming Depression.

Customer Reviews
Respected Sir, I was on anti depressant and sleeping tablets before I started using your hypnosis products. They are simply wonderful. I routinely use 'Sleep Now!' in the evenings and 'Overcome Depression' in the morning. I hope to replace these with further sessions in the near future.
Your self-hypnosis CD 'Overcome Depression' has changed my life. I used to feel nauseous the moment I woke up and had little to no appetite most of the day. I'd never felt so low. My doctor prescribed me diazepam to take as and when but I did not want to take anti-depressants so I decided to try self-hypnosis and I'm so glad I chose your CD. It didn't work right away but I followed the instructions and stuck with it. Slowly but surely a cloud has been lifted and I can see the blue sky. Even if it's a miserable day I can feel the sun is shining on me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I purchased your download of depression hypnosis and it is good. I also have social anxiety and I'm very shy so I'll be working on these next. Thank you.
I bought overcome depression about six weeks ago and the results have been nothing short of amazing. I have listened to the hypnotherapy CD every morning and my outlook on life has changed as well as feeling much calmer and contented. I have recommended this hypnotherapy CD and HypnoShop generally to friends and family. I've had hypnotherapy in the past but having a CD at home is not only cheaper but also more convenient. I would like to commend Barrie on a life changing CD and I am the proof of that.
I'd like to thank you for the depression hypnosis session you have produced. I have had mild depression for a number of years. Your overcome depression hypnosis session has helped me immensely and I am very grateful. The changes have been subtle, and have taken a number of weeks, but I feel really good about myself.
I am writing to tell you how good I feel after listening to the overcome depression hypnosis download. I didn't really know what to expect from hypnosis / hypnotherapy, but I can honestly say that it has worked wonders for me. I have recommended your hypnosis products to all my friends and family.
