“NLP, with its focus on reprogramming the mind for positive instead of negative affect, can be useful for redressing depression. From a personal perspective, using hypnosis and NLP, with their focus on the positive, makes sense and is more appealing than the medical model which focuses on pathology and mental illness. The currently popular belief that states, “whatever we focus on, grows,” lends credence to utilizing these more positive approaches and intervention techniques for helping depressed people create a happier life for themselves.”
