I believe that everybody has all the resources required to change any behaviour they need to (normally buried within them). Finding those resources and maintaining them may be very challenging and can appear nigh on impossible, especially if huge efforts have already been made without success. Such unsuccessful efforts may have been tried without these essential inner resources being brought to bear. Efforts might also fail because of the absence of the necessary endurance required, something so often made much easier by having a professional on board. After all, progress can be difficult to see when you are fighting on your own and 'giving in' could bring all those familiar rewards back into your life.
Simpler habits such as e.g., bed wetting, shyness & self-consciousness, blushing, bruxism (tooth grinding)*, compulsive shopping & spending, hair pulling, thumb sucking, nail biting, tics... etc., can be tackled with Hypnotherapy and NLP alone; while more complex problems such as e.g., eating disorders/ issues, drug addiction, gambling, and self-harm generally involve a larger breakdown of their own particular symptoms, issues and solutions*. When well-developed, these might need a range of further specific techniques on top.
Whatever your 'habit' though Hypnotherapy can help to weaken it, strengthen you, forge a better path, release you from it's grasp, and give you the control back.
There are many forms... so if you can't see it on these lists please contact me regarding your own specific problem.
Smoking is dealt with separately on this page and I will be writing dedicated pages for each of the above conditions as and when I can. In the meantime please contact me for details on more specific help.
Although the conditions listed above appear very diverse in expression there are huge similarities due to the manner in which the human mind develops its habitual and compulsive behaviour. Hence the manner of treatment is generally very similar, at least in the initial stages
* for these issues it is officially recommended that you have first sought medical advice via your GP
Typically the treatment will involve:
Post Hypnotic Suggestions with a view to:
Hypnotic progression
To reveal a view of the future, habit-free life, and show the insights on HOW to change that come with it.
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)
To engage and initiate the client into conscious changes at a deep level.
More complex problems such as drug addiction, gambling, eating disorders & issues, OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and self-harm would likely need further techniques such as those below *
Age regression
Where initial sensitising events or childhood trauma lie at the root of the problem. In these cases such events can be revisited in the safety of the relaxed trance state and more easily reprocessed, often with profound results in many aspects of the clients life.
TTM & motivational interviewing
For a more comprehensive approach to recovery from serious addiction.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques
CBT can be used to help retrain the automatic thinking that can be involved in a persistent habit or addiction.
Further NLP
Can be used to further strengthen the client against powerful compulsive emotions.
EMDR, EFT (and more NLP)
These can be used to undermine the automatic emotional responses attached to cravings and compulsions.
Post hypnotic suggestions
Can be further targeted to weaken existing responses and empower new responses in the specific areas required by each unique situation e.g., depression, maladaptive conditions, low self-esteem, low self efficacy.
Timeframe
This varies greatly from person to person and from habit to habit. This really depends on the unique individual and the complexity of their situation. Please call me to find out more specific information for you.
