Does this sound familiar?
You do get out of bed, but the day has no colour. Things you used to enjoy feel flat. You are tired, even when you have slept enough. You withdraw from friends, not because you do not like them, but because you cannot find the energy.
On the outside everything carries on: work, groceries, the group chat. Inside there is a heaviness you cannot quite explain. Sometimes a voice that says it is your fault, that you are not worth it, that it will never be different. You may have talked, to a psychologist or to friends, and that brings relief, but the heaviness itself stays.
Hypnotherapy for low mood and depressive feelings does not look at what you think, but at where that heaviness comes from.
How DIT is used for this
Low mood is often an old emotion that was never finished. Grief, rejection or loneliness from an earlier period of your life, for which there was no room at the time, and which now lies like a grey layer over everything. Your subconscious has tied a belief to it: I am not good enough, there is no place for me, there is no point.
In a DIT session you go to the moment that belief was formed. You look at it with what you know now, you finally give the emotion of that time its space, and you let your subconscious draw a new conclusion. This happens calmly, fully conscious, in conversation with Draga. It can be emotional; that is part of the processing, not something to be afraid of.
Important: DIT is meant for low mood and feeling flat in healthy adults. With depression that has a psychiatric diagnosis, with medication, or with thoughts of ending your life, your GP or treating clinician should be the first step. That is discussed openly in the introductory call.

Frequently asked questions about low mood
Is hypnotherapy a treatment for depression?
No. Draga is not a doctor or psychologist and does not diagnose. DIT is suitable for low mood and depressive feelings in healthy adults. If you have a diagnosed depression or another psychiatric condition, DIT is not suitable and your GP or treating clinician is the right place to be.
I take antidepressants. Can I take part?
Discuss this with your GP or psychiatrist first and never change your medication on your own. Whether a session is sensible and responsible is then discussed honestly with Draga in the free introductory call.
What if I cry during the session?
That happens often and is perfectly fine. The session exists precisely to give old emotion its space. You are not alone: Draga guides you through it step by step. Afterwards you may feel tired, and often relieved as well.
How do I know whether it is low mood or something more?
If you are unsure, or if you have thoughts about not wanting to live any more, contact your GP today or, in the Netherlands, call 113 (0800-0113). DIT is for heaviness you have carried for a while and want to break through, not for a crisis.
