At Balance Hypnotherapy we offer a number of programs to help our clients suffering from addiction issues. Our hypnotherapy for addiction in Lincoln typically involves a minimum of four one hour sessions which are spread roughly one to two weeks apart. Depending on the type of addiction we are working with we may ask our clients to also work with an addiction counselor as the two therapies may increase the effectiveness of any treament. Please seek advice from your doctor or a health professional if you are undergoing withdrawal symptoms. We work with a number of forms of addiction including:*
Hypnosis for Alcohol Addiction
Before beginning any hypnosis with our clients it is important to assess the motivation of the person who is looking for help. As with any form of therapy the person seeking the help must be motivated to create positive change. If the client is motivated then we need to ascertain how severe is the addiction to alcohol. Some of our clients will come to see us simply to break out the of the habit of having a number of glasses of wine in the evening. For others the addiction is more severe in which case we need to make sure that there is a gradual reduction in the drinking habit as going cold turkey could potentially be dangerous. During our hypnosis for alcohol addiction sessions we are helping our clients to manage any cravings, build motivation and confidence and if applicable deal with any emotional reasons underpinning the problems.*
Hypnosis for Drug Addiction
As with alcohol addiction self motivation is important as is the need for the client to be medically supervised whilst reducing the drugs that they are using. The exception to this is marajuana where the withdrawal symptoms may not be so severe. Generally hypnosis is a more helpful tool following withdrawal from the substance that was being used. Again hypnosis is a good tool for motivation, confidence building and future pacing allowing you to imagine a life without drugs.*
Hypnotherapy and Gambling Addiction
Unlike alcohol and drugs which involve physical withdrawal symptoms our hypnotherapy for addiction in Lincoln also helps with impulse control problems involved in Gambling. Gambling problems usually start in a small way but then begin to escalate over a period of months and years. As the problem escalates the person with the issue finds that is becomes all consuming and impacts their family life, their work and friendships. Hypnosis for gambling addiction is designed to help our clients learn to control their impulses and to deal with the emotional problems that may be underpinning the problem.*
