Addictions 

Addiction is defined as not having control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you. The most well known addictions are gambling, drugs, alcohol and nicotine, but it's possible to be addicted to just about anything, including: your work, the internet, solvents and even shopping.

​

There are lots of reasons why addictions begin. In most cases it is due to they way these things affect  the way you feel, both physically and mentally, being enjoyable to the point you have the urge to experience it again. This can develop into a habit that becomes very hard to stop.

​

Being addicted to something means that not having it causes withdrawal symptoms, or a "come down". Because this can be unpleasant, it's easier to carry on having or doing what you crave, and so the cycle continues.

Often, an addiction gets out of control because you need more and more to satisfy a craving and achieve the "high". All of this often has a seriously damaging affect on ones health work and social life. 

​

Fortunately addictions are treatable with the right intervention. Hypnotherapy has proven to be highly affective in helping people in this tough area of life. more often than not the addiction has arisen out of a combination of emotional and environmental factors, normally as an escape or a way to avoid something in your life. Through this program, we will go to the root of your addictive behaviours, safely and compassionately face and process whatever may be repressed or wanting to be avoided and In turn commune with the part of you that craves whatever it is you addicted to allowing for a safe productive alternative to be established. 

​

CBT will be implored to help you restructure your life in the way you would actually like it to be without the limiting impact of your addiction. NLP and EMDR techniques will also be provided to ensure you have the tools needed to safe guard you from any trigger or danger areas of your life.
