Addiction

It is possible to be addicted to just about anything. Addiction is about not having control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you. You may feel out of control or that you do not have a choice as to how you behave.

Studies have shown that hypnotherapy can have a profound effect for someone overcoming addiction when working alongside a range of medical interventions. An emphasis is placed upon relaxation, wellbeing and lifestyle whilst alleviating the severity of withdrawal symptoms through suggestion and creating suggestions of repulsion or aversion to undesirable behaviours.

Depending on the type of the addiction and how long you have been struggling will depend whether we work with you in isolation, or encourage you to access, and then support you alongside recognised medical pathways.

It is paramount that the individual seeking help with an addiction wants to change their behaviour for themselves and is the one to take the first step to engage with therapy.
