Henrique de Azevêdo's psychotherapy has brought about incredible changes in my life. The use of therapy based on Ericksonian methods of re-signifying traumatic events and taking advantage of the good in each person has proven to be very effective. The use of Hypnotic Solutions has also proven to be essential to prepare the mind for the work of the weekly sessions with Henrique. In addition to these factors, Henrique de Azevêdo's strong humanistic appeal in the hypnotherapist-patient relationship, where great empathy is diplomatically created between the parties, is another crucial factor in the success of the therapy.

Now, talking about the peculiarities of my case itself: I had a chronic depression since childhood. We begin therapy by focusing first on eliminating the most severe symptoms that are present in all cases of depression: excessive sadness, discouragement, pessimism, melancholy, etc. Using the Hypnotic Solution during the 30 days prior to the weekly therapy sessions already provides great control over the entire condition. Sadness and the inadequate way we feel in everyday situations are gradually and automatically replaced by new, more adapted thought patterns. Since the process is extremely simple through hypnotic relaxation and concentration, this leads you to feel the healing occurring from the inside out. You feel as if the mental dirt is gradually being removed and then you feel the suggestions taking effect automatically and without much effort.

It can be concluded that at the end of a cycle of hypnotic therapy with Henrique, the benefits are light years ahead of traditional therapies. As the process changes the maladaptive unconscious, the way you feel about situations also changes. This is the essential factor that other therapies do not provide: improving the person's cognitive control in the face of both external and internal stressors. Best of all, this process occurs in an extremely simple, effective and fast way through empathy, concentration and relaxation.
