Hypnotherapy for Addiction in Manchester

Hypnotherapy is just one of a number of powerful techniques I use to help my clients overcome addiction and re-set their lives back on track.

What is an addiction?

Our mind is a very powerful tool. It can be used for positive and good achievements but also can create very negative patterns of behaviour.  Our mind works towards achieving things that make us feel good, unfortunately, a side effect of this is that we can become obsessed or addicted to something or behaviour. Addictions, however, can over-whelm and control your life. This can show in your behaviours, such as illicit drugs, alcohol, sugar, shopping or gambling, which is unhealthy for our mind and body. Often we have a feeling of guilt associated with it.

Hypnotherapy can help you take back control, help you understand that you can make the right choices and successfully overcome the problem.  

Addiction is defined by the NHS as ‘not having control over doing, taking or using something, to the point where it can be harmful to you.’ Hypnotherapy for addiction can help you take back that control.

I work with people needing support to overcome addiction to:

• Alcohol Dependency (not alcoholism)
• Drug taking (such as smoking weed or social cocaine use – not physical drug addiction)
• Eating
• Extreme sports & risk-taking
• Gambling
• Gaming
• Shopping
• Social Media
• Smoking

How can hypnotherapy treat addicitons?

When utilising hypnotherapy, we are looking to understand the issue or issues associated with the addiction. By using a 2 prong approach we can understand first what it is the client wants to achieve moving forward and the benefits of the change. Secondly by inducing a state of heightened awareness in the client – a dreamlike state or what we would call an altered state of focused attention.  This is where we can access the subconscious, where the responses, reactions and behaviours we have to certain triggers are programmed.  In this relaxed and open state,  our unconscious mind can be more open to suggestion, which allows the client to create the change they desire.

Having worked with many clients very successfully to help them achieve their desired outcome, I know that I can help you create the change you want. We have a very powerful ability to change if we want that change with my assistance, you can alter the way you react and behave breaking any old patterns and creating new ones. Together we can work to help you gain back control.
