Quit Drinking With Hypnosis For Alchohol Addiction 

Alcohol misuse, either addiction or dependency, is an extremely distressing and destructive disease. It can wreak havoc on people’s lives, both the individual suffering and their family and friends. Alcohol misuse can destroy relationships, both personal and work, but it can be treated. Hypnotherapy for alcoholism, London or Online can be used as a treatment for addiction or dependence on alcohol by working with the subconscious mind to rebuild better and healthier pathways in the mind. This can alter an individual’s perception about their need to drink and create better coping mechanisms.

How Effective Is Alcohol Addiction Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis for alcohol addiction is a powerful and effective tool for overcoming alcohol dependence. It can be used as a standalone treatment, but also works well when combined with other therapeutic interventions. If you have a deep-seated alcohol addiction you may experience both physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Hypnotherapy to stop drinking can help with these symptoms by teaching you techniques such as relaxation and deep breathing.

  • The intense cravings to drink alcohol, as well as the routine-driven behaviours.
  • Psychological dependence on alcohol as a stress-relief mechanism.
  • Working with the routine and rituals associated with drinking.
  • Processing the withdrawal symptoms like irritability and anxiety.
  • Overcoming mental barriers to quitting.
  • Automatic, unconscious drinking triggers.
  • Problem drinking is often compounded by emotional or psychological factors.
  • Previous unsuccessful attempts can discourage you from trying again.

What to Expect From Alcohol Addiction Hypnotherapy

It is estimated that 95% of our thoughts, feelings and memories live in our subconscious. Hypnosis works on the subconscious mind, by altering patterns and automatic responses, that you may not be aware of in your conscious thought. During a hypnotherapy session in London or Onine, the therapist guides the individual into deep relaxation. In this state, the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions and suggested changes to deep-seated responses. Hypnosis as a alcohol addiction treatment can then be used to create change at a more profound level enabling people to regain control of their lives.

Intense Cravings

The urge to drink will be strong, but hypnosis can help to reduce the strength of the urges, which can help to make them easier to resist.

Alcohol Dependence as Stress-Relief

Many people use alcohol as a coping mechanism to relieve stress and to deal with the challenges of daily life. This is not helped by the socially acceptable nature of having a drink after a bad day. This portrayal can make it harder to see when drinking becomes a problem. Hypnosis helps by altering your automatic responses to create healthier, more effective stress-relief mechanisms, such as breathing exercises, doing a few yoga moves, or taking a short walk.

Breaking Routines and Rituals

Drinking is often very ritualistic. That first drink at the end of a hard day. The drink to steady your nerves before a stressful event. Humans are often very routine-driven, but by using hypnosis, we can help to rebuild your routines on a subconscious level.

Coping with Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms

Alcohol withdrawal can cause physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Hypnotherapy can help by giving you the tools such as breathing and relaxation techniques to cope during this time.

Automatic, Unconscious Triggers

Our subconscious triggers that may cause us to turn to alcohol can be deep-seated and automatic. As hypnosis for drinking addresses the subconscious, it can work to change these automatic triggers, so that rather than reaching for an alcoholic drink, you could go for a short walk, or do some breathing exercises instead.

Addiction to Alcohol and Emotional Factors

People turn to alcohol for all sorts of reasons, often deeply buried trauma, or learnt behaviour. Hypnotherapy can address the emotional and psychological factors that may be a large component of alcohol abuse. By addressing these underlying emotional factors we can help to reduce your dependence on alcohol.

Habitual Addiction Linked to Specific Times/Activities

Drinking is incredibly habitual. Hypnotherapy can help break down the association between your habits and your drinking by reframing your thoughts. We often work on increasing an individual’s self-belief, so that they stop feeling as though they need alcohol to cope.

Relapse after Previous Attempts to Quit

It can take more than one attempt to stop or reduce your drinking. Failure can exacerbate our negative views about ourselves. Hypnosis can help to rebuild your self-belief and self-confidence that you can stop or reduce your drinking, and reduce your perceived reliance on alcohol as a coping mechanism.

Testimonials

I am a 60+ year old London construction worker who has been smoking almost 50 years and was finding myself to be breathless in regular tasks. I finally decided I wanted to quit for good (I have attempted acupuncture, vaping, nicotine patches etc.) and I decided to Google other ways to stop smoking. I came across Kamal in Harley Street who was flexible with times and not too far from where I live. At the time, I thought the cost (£390) was steep but it is quite possibly the best money I have ever spent. I haven’t thought about or touched a cigarette since my session and it has been over 2 months. I have calculated that it saves me £80 per week so I have technically paid it off after week 5! I cannot recommend Kamal highly enough, I feel better and healthier every day – thank you! To anybody on the fence or considering this, don’t hesitate! Costly at the time but you cannot argue with the results.
