Alcohol dependence describes the most serious form of high-risk drinking, with a strong – often uncontrollable – desire to drink. It means drinking at a level that causes harm to your health.
Hypnotherapy for addiction can help you take back that control.
I work with people needing support to overcome addiction to:
- Alcohol Dependency (not alcoholism)
- Eating
- Extreme sports & risk taking
- Gambling
- Gaming
- Shopping
- Social Media
- Smoking
How can hypnotherapy treat addiction?
I use a combination of three evidence-based and highly effective techniques to help my clients beat their addiction, whatever this might be.
Hypnotherapy
Using hypnotherapy, we seek to get to the root of the problem by inducing a state of heightened awareness in the patient – a dreamlike state where we can access the subconscious, where the responses we have to certain triggers are set. In this relaxed and open state, you become more susceptible to suggestion, which we can take advantage of by talking over different ideas about the dependency you are suffering with. By changing the way your mind responds to situations we can change your physical response too – meaning that the things that would usually trigger your need to do whatever it is that you are dependent on, will no longer affect you in the same way.
Brainworking Recursive Therapy (BWRT)
Our ingrained habits, repetitive behaviours and automatic responses to events seem ‘hard-wired’ into our brains. We all feel that habits or patterns of behaviour are hard to break, whether it be gambling, drinking, smoking or even infidelity – but they are not impossible to break. Using BrainWorking Recursive Therapy, we can create new wiring – just like when an electrician re-wires your home and simply threads new wires around the old, disconnecting those no longer needed or safe to keep.
Visual Coding and Re-patterning Technique (V-CART)
V-Cart uses recent discoveries in the field of neuro-science around how the brain encodes information. Often, people turn towards addictive behaviours as a way to forget about, or block out, the stuff we’re dealing with in our day to day life. V-Cart is a process of the therapist using lights in a sequence that can wipe out the feelings of trauma and subsequently the urges that drive us towards the behaviour we want to stop. Put simply, the addiction is our ‘drug of choice’ (chocolate, alcohol, online bingo, etc) stops us from ‘feeling.’ When you address and take away that feeling, the desire to escape goes with it. V-Cart can also be used to install a repulsion towards a food or drink, so making it so much easier to abstain as we no longer have any desire to.
The satisfaction of success
I have worked with many people suffering from alcohol dependency and find it one of the most satisfying parts of my work. You will hear many people say that it is a fight too hard to win. I don’t believe this and have shown this to be untrue with many clients. I know that we have an ability to change – if we truly want that change. With my help, you can literally alter the way you think, behave and react, breaking the patterns that have led to the addiction that threatens to control you and take you away from the life you want to live.
