Depression can affect every part of life, influencing how you think, feel, and respond to the world around you. It can leave you feeling low, stuck, disconnected, and unable to imagine things changing.
Recovery often involves more than one kind of change. It requires a structured approach that helps you address the thoughts, habits, emotions, and patterns that keep depression in place.
7 Steps to Overcoming Depression is a complete 30-day course designed to support these changes in a clear and practical way.
- Gain greater control over unhelpful thoughts
- Develop a more realistic and optimistic outlook
- Return to a more active and rewarding life
- Handle difficult emotions more effectively
- Rediscover meaning and purpose
- Build resilience in the face of setbacks and uncertainty
- Create lasting, sustainable change
How the Course Works
The course includes 7 carefully designed sessions — one for each day of the week. Each session focuses on a different aspect of depression, combining together to create a complete system.
You listen to one session per day, following the sequence from Monday through to Sunday. This cycle is then repeated over a 30-day period, allowing the changes to build gradually and become more natural and automatic.
This structured approach helps reinforce progress at each stage, rather than relying on a single method or technique.
An Overview of the 7 Sessions
Monday – Boosting Optimism
This session helps you develop a more realistic and optimistic way of thinking. Rather than expecting the worst, it encourages your mind to orient more towards helpful possibilities and positive outcomes.
Tuesday – Mindfulness for Depression
This session uses mindfulness to help you relate more effectively to low mood, worry, and other difficult feelings. It supports greater awareness, less judgement, and a calmer way of handling negative emotion.
Wednesday – Expanding Your Life
This session focuses on becoming more active and engaged again. Depression can narrow your world, so this session helps you gradually reconnect with experiences, interests, and activities that bring reward and momentum.
Thursday – Finding Meaning and Purpose
This session helps you reconnect with meaning and purpose in life, both of which can be weakened by depression. It supports a stronger sense of direction and a renewed connection with what matters to you.
Friday – Thinking in a Positive Way
This session helps shift your attention away from negative thinking and towards a more constructive mental style. It also encourages gratitude and a more positive emotional pattern to develop over time.
Saturday – Recognising What Can be Changed and What Can’t
This session helps you develop a more realistic sense of influence and control. It supports a healthier mindset by helping you respond more effectively to situations you can change, while letting go more easily of those you cannot.
Sunday – Dealing with Uncertainty
This session helps you become more comfortable with uncertainty and less drawn into rumination. It supports a calmer response to the unknown, reducing the need to keep going over problems that cannot yet be resolved.

How to Use This Course
This course consists of seven sessions, each named after a day of the week.
You can begin the course on any day. Simply start with the session that matches the current day and then continue with the corresponding session each day thereafter. For example, if you begin on a Tuesday, start with the Tuesday session, followed by Wednesday, Thursday, and so on.
The course is designed to be followed for four weeks, meaning each daily session is listened to four times over a 28-day period.
After completing the four-weeks, we recommend using the final two days to revisit whichever sessions you found most helpful or enjoyable.
For best results, try to listen consistently throughout the course and follow the sequence of days as intended.

Customer Reviews
I just wanted to pass on thanks to you as I have found your hypnosis series highly valuable. They have made a great difference to my life, strengthening my ability to cope with difficult life events and creating a greater sense of well-being and happiness. For someone suffering from depression, these things cannot be measured in dollar terms - they are invaluable and also impact those around me. Thank you for widening the circle of goodness in this world!
I don't usually leave reviews for things but the 7 steps series is an excellent collection of recordings and I highly recommend them for anyone suffering from depression. I had actually managed to almost overcome years of depression with a natural supplement that I'd been taking for the past 3 years. I'd say about 90 % of me was in good shape, but there was still that 10% I needed help with. These hypnotherapy recordings have helped get me to 100%, in just a few short weeks and I am so grateful for all your help and advice.
Depression has affected my life deeply for some twenty years now. I didn't like the person I had become and the feelings that surfaced, but I now feel almost reborn! I no longer feel trapped by my own dark thoughts and I owe you a massive, massive thank you. The turnaround has been incredible and I'm not the only way to say that. I'm far more active, far more optimistic and most importantly... far happier than ever. I have enjoyed every single one of the seven recordings. It almost feels as if they were written specifically for me. Thank you again!
Depression put my relationship at risk, my job and yes, even my life. Thank to your 'intervention' I now feel like myself again and the difference from a few months ago is striking. I cannot thank you enough. Thank you!
I'm pleased to say that this course has worked wonders for me! I was in a state of depression for almost four months and even used cymbalta medication, which didn't help one bit. This hypnosis course should be prescribed on the NHS! I'm serious. Thank you!
This really is an amazing series. The ideas and hypnotic suggestions across these seven sessions do actually begin to manifest. It takes a bit time, but they work. Due to academic failures I had suffered severe depression for many years before I first listened to some other sessions on your website, which changed my life dramatically for the better. But this overcoming depression series is even better and over the past few weeks I've noticed even more steady improvements in almost every area of my life. Thank you so much.
I previously downloaded your 'Overcoming Depression' session and found it extremely relaxing and helpful. It was a good starting point, as I was skeptical about self hypnosis. How wrong I was. Anyway, this convinced me to go with this course, which is far more comprehensive. It's still early days but I feel significantly better about myself. The 'Finding Meaning and Purpose' session is particularly good.
I am really pleased to have found your website, all the titles I have tried have been brilliant! I am currently using your new 7 Series Overcoming Depression (tomorrow is the end of week 3 for me) and I have never been so happy. My family have been impressed with the results as well :) I think I would be a rival for Tigger now LOL.
I am in my 50's and I only just decided it was time for me to reach out for some help with some deep seated problems I have battled throughout my life. These issues have been a significant impedance, shackles if you will, that prevented me from just getting on with being me, enjoying my life, and being successful. Previously, I never believed in hypnosis, partly because of experiences in my past, and partly because of an issue with trust. Your website helped me to clear these two barriers and I eagerly began my sessions the day I bought my first series. Now the results started immediately, the day after my first session. I noticed nothing at first in the morning, but after several hours I did realize some of the behaviors that plagued me in the past were absent. I started noticing day after day that there was a definite change in my attitude and state of mind. These changes have continued every day, and I am doing better with each session! This Friday I drove the 7 hours it takes to get to see my mother in Montreal and I was grooving with music I have listened to for years, and I was even noticing sounds, parts, instruments I never did before. I feel so happy! I do not know where this journey with self hypnosis will take me but I am very optimistic and I am very eager to continue my progress. I just have to tell you, your team, how immensely thankful and appreciative I am. I TRUST YOU!! Thank you for your help!
I purchased this S7 series for depression and honestly it's one of the best purchases of my life. Within days my co-workers were commenting on how my attitude had changed for the better. I'm performing better at work. I'm noticing that if I get in negative mood it changes quickly without even having to think about it. I'm talking and thinking more positively. Honestly, I don't even use it seven days a week and its still producing amazing results. For anyone that has any reservations about your hypnosis, I have to say for $60 you have nothing to lose and a new life to gain. Thank you so much.
I bought this for my husband last month, who has also been going to a therapist. He has been diagnosed with depression and started taking anti-depressants recently. I can't say for sure what has helped the most, but he has definitely enjoyed listening to your hypnotherapy tracks. I do know one thing for certain. We will continue to pursue hypnotherapy. I thank you!
I had some doubts about effectiveness of hypnosis, although many users and researches proved that it can be effective and powerful. I've been listening to this nightly and I just love it. Barrie's voice is so relaxing and I feel uplifted.
