A married woman with two grown up daughters came to see me.  She had suffered from depression most of her adult life.  Her GP had prescribed a common anti-depressant and Thyroxine for an under-active thyroid.  Although she feel asleep very easily, if she woke during the night she often had trouble falling back to sleep. 

The aim of the short course of treatments was to help her come to terms with her depression while raising her self-esteem.  The initial results were very positive and the quality and quantity of her sleep improved considerably.  She felt more energised and in charge of her life during the day.  She also reported that she "felt better in herself" and started to look forward to things in the future.
