HYPNOTHERAPY FOR ADDICTIONS

Breaking Free from Addiction with Hypnotherapy

Addictions can take many forms—alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, smoking, or even behaviours like compulsive shopping or self-sabotage. What they all have in common is a loss of control, and a deep inner drive that feels stronger than your willpower.

​

A habit becomes an addiction when stopping it causes withdrawal symptoms such as:

• Anxiety or irritability

• Obsessive thoughts

• Physical pain (headaches, nausea, etc.)

• Cravings that override logic or goals

• Inability to focus or function without the substance or behaviour

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that can help break the mental and emotional chains of addiction by addressing the subconscious programming that fuels it.

​

Common Addictions Successfully Treated with Hypnotherapy

• Alcohol

• Drugs (prescription or illicit)

• Smoking or vaping

• Gambling

• Food (binge eating, emotional eating, sugar addiction)

• Compulsive behaviours (nail biting, porn addiction, excessive shopping, etc.)

Hypnosis works by helping you let go of the unconscious emotional triggers behind the addiction. It supports both the physical withdrawal phase and the longer-term psychological healing—safely, naturally, and often more effectively than traditional talk therapy alone.

​

Why Hypnotherapy Works for Addiction

Hypnosis works by accessing the subconscious mind—the part responsible for habits, emotional reactions, and automatic behaviours. Unlike conscious efforts that often feel like a daily battle, hypnotherapy helps rewire the brain so that:

• The cravings lose their power

• Emotional triggers are dissolved

• Confidence and self-control increase

• Motivation for health and sobriety strengthens

• Shame, guilt, and past regret are gently resolved

Even chemical dependencies can be addressed through hypnosis. Your subconscious learns new ways to cope, respond, and feel fulfilled—without needing the substance or behaviour.

Addiction Recovery Requires a Shift in Mindset

To truly heal from addiction, it’s essential to look within—to face what's been avoided. This includes:

• Letting go of defensiveness

• Admitting the true cost of the addiction

• Acknowledging deeper issues like fear, insecurity, or shame

• Being open to change and support

Hypnotherapy facilitates this process in a deeply compassionate and empowering way. It’s not about willpower—it’s about transformation.

​

Evidence-Based and Proven Effective

Conventional counselling alone has a long-term success rate of around 22%. However, when hypnotherapy is combined with traditional support systems, studies show success rates as high as 87%. Hypnosis doesn’t replace medical treatment—it enhances it.
