July 2021 has been designated as the National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Minority groups in the United States tend to struggle with mental health conditions more than other groups of people. But at the same time, they have less access to quality mental health resources. This is why the subconscious mind healing techniques that are part of hypnosis can be useful for them.

Here are some of the conditions that can be treated by hypnosis:

1. Depression

Depression is already one of the most common mental health disorders in the country, but it’s more prevalent in minorities. Persistent racial disparity and experiencing racism create feelings of hopelessness that can lead to depression.

Hypnosis can help by improving your thought patterns and removing the negative emotions you might be holding subconsciously.

2. Anxiety

Anxiety may be acute—such as panic attacks—or it can be chronic, in which case it’s called a generalized anxiety disorder. In either form, it’s never the result of one particular thing. Rather, several factors contribute to it.

Anxiety disorders stem from worrying about your safety and well-being. Even when there’s no threat, your mind reacts as if you’re in danger. Hypnosis for treating anxiety can help you stop intrusive thoughts from taking over and learn how to respond to an anxiety attack.

3. Low Self-Esteem

Low self-esteem isn’t a mental health condition itself, but it can make you vulnerable to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.

Low self-esteem can often be caused by racist abuse, bullying, harassment, and taunts about your appearance. If left unresolved, it can negatively impact your self-image. A trained hypnotist can work with you to develop a healthier view of yourself in your mind.

Some Considerations:

• If your mental health condition is caused by a chemical or hormonal imbalance in your body, consult a mental health practitioner or an experienced hypnotist before starting hypnosis sessions.
• Always work with an established, reputable hypnotist. Consider asking them about their education, training, and how long they’ve been practicing. Professional hypnotists will be happy to answer your questions.
• Decide if you’d be more comfortable working with a hypnotist that has the same race and ethnicity as you. Many people prefer this; as they say, it helps their hypnotist better understand their experiences. Others report that their hypnotist’s race or ethnicity doesn’t matter to them.
