Masterclass in Depressive Disorders

This course is designed for hypnotherapists who wish to increase their skill base with the use of depressive disorders. Rates of depression are increasing annually, and yet, according to Michael Yapko, in his book ‘Hand-Me-Down Blues’, it is one of the most treatable disorders. Medication alone can never be an entirely adequate form of treatment. However, the use of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective intervention, whether used alongside traditional medication or as a stand-alone therapy.

Carole has been a therapist for almost thirty years and, together with Alan Cooper, she has devised and delivered over 20 CPD’s plus their validated training in Hypnosis, NLP & Psychotherapy.
