Hypnosis To Stop Drinking Or Moderate Your Alcohol Consumption
Hypnosis To Stop Drinking Or Moderate Your Alcohol ConsumptionDo you believe that you are drinking too much and it is impacting your health? Would you like to drink less or stop drinking entirely? We work with our clients to help them make positive changes to bad habits and our hypnotherapy to stop drinking program may be able to help you alter your alcohol intake.
Our stop-drinking hypnosis reset program is designed to help people who would like to take control of their drinking and feel fitter and healthier. Depending on your particular issues we can work with you to help you stop drinking entirely or to moderate your drinking. Complete abstinence is not necessarily the end goal for many of our clients so we are happy to work with you if you would like to drink less.
Our moderate drinking hypnosis can help you to understand the reasons why you may be using alcohol as a means of escape and then work with you to tackle the underlying reasons for your problem. Our Stop Drinking Hypnotherapy Program consists of four sessions each taken one week apart.*
What Are The Signs You May Have a Drinking Issue?
For many of our clients, the drinking habit tends to creep up on them. Their alcohol consumption tends to rise over time until they find themselves in a situation where they are drinking too much. For some of our clients, this means drinking to excess daily, and for others binge drinking at weekends.
So how do you know if your alcohol use has turned into problem drinking or even alcohol addiction? Well here are some of the signs that you should look out for.
- The need to have a regular drink in the evening in order to relax
- Drinking every evening as a way of switching off from stress
- Not telling your family and friends about the extent of your drinking
- Binge drinking or getting out of control
- Solo drinking or hiding your alcohol use
- Getting aggressive after you have drunk
- Blacking out following a drinking session
- Regularly feeling hungover
- Letting drink impact work and home life
If you have reached the point where you know you need to take back control then our stop-drinking hypnotherapy program has been designed to help you learn ways to either stop drinking altogether or moderate how much alcohol you consume. We want to lower your alcohol dependency and help you lead a healthier lifestyle.
What Causes People To Drink Too Much?
The reasons for alcohol use disorders are different for everyone although there are some common themes that seem to appear regularly. In order to help our clients stop drinking alcohol, we work with them to understand the drivers that may be causing their drinking problem. This is why all the sessions in our drink-less hypnosis program are tailored to each individual.
Here are some of the most popular reasons why our clients seem to be drinking too much:
Stress and Alcohol
Many of our clients have learned to drink too much alcohol as a coping mechanism for stress. Drinking becomes a way of switching off after a busy day and numbing the mind. We help our clients to find other ways to create deep relaxation rather than using alcohol.*
Accessibility
Over the past twenty or thirty years, alcohol is much more readily available to our clients. Where once upon a time you would normally only drink in a bar or at a social event it has now become much more acceptable to buy alcohol to drink at home. Wine fridges, home brewing, wine racks and so have made drinking in the evening a lifestyle choice. We help our clients to stop drinking alcohol automatically and create habit changes.*
The Environment You Live In
The environment you grow up in and the people you live and interact with all impact the way people drink alcohol. If you come from a household where everyone else drank in the evening then you are going to be more likely to do the same. If all your friends drink and your social life revolves around alcohol then it is going to impact your habits as well.
Emotional Reasons
One of the common reasons problems we see with alcohol addiction or misuse is because of unresolved emotional problems from the past. Low self-esteem, guilt, sadness and so on can all impact how we feel. As these feelings cause emotional distress many people choose to numb them rather than see a therapist to seek support. Our hypnotherapy sessions for alcohol help our clients to address unresolved emotional problems.*
Boredom Drinking
Many of our clients may not have problems with alcohol abuse in the traditional sense but use drinking as a way of doing something to do in the evening. Dealing with boredom is necessary if we are to help our clients make positive changes.
Boredom is often associated with being stuck in a rut and that can be because of mental health issues or because of tiredness or feeling stressed after work. Alcohol becomes an easy option rather than making an effort to do something that is more beneficial for you. We like to help our clients find better methods of helping themselves feel better.
Mental Health Issues and Drinking
Anxiety and depression are mental health problems that can be linked to alcohol use disorder. People who drink alcohol who have these conditions tend to want to dissociate from the uncomfortable feelings. Yet hypnosis is an alternative treatment to help these conditions and can make a difference in how our clients feel.
In many cases, we don’t just help our clients with the presenting problem but associated problems as well. It is impossible to look at alcohol issues in isolation as they are linked to many other problems. We take a holistic approach to make a difference.*
Confidence
Alcohol dependency is also a learned behaviour for clients of ours who have a problem with their confidence. It is not unusual for them to have discovered alcohol made them feel more confident in social situations. Drinking alcohol whenever they went out soon became a habit and years later it has stuck. We use hypnosis as a way of helping our clients address issues with confidence and self-esteem.*
Family History of Alcoholism
Finally, scientific research has shown that having a family history of alcoholism makes it much more likely for another person in the family to have the same problem. Hypnotherapy for alcohol reduction can help you to break the cycle of following in others’ footsteps.*
Is Stress Driving You to Drink?
One of the biggest problems that we tend to address when treating alcohol issues is stress. Too much stress can cause big problems for our clients and can impact their physical and their mental health.
When our clients are stressed they don’t tend to deal with the underlying problem but use alcohol as a way of zoning out from the stress that is in their life. This can become a bad habit and can lead to alcohol problems.
Stress reduction and management are hugely important when it comes to dealing with alcohol issues as it helps improve sleep, reduce anxiety and help our clients to feel calmer and more in control. A clinical hypnotherapist can recommend techniques for you to use at home as part of your therapy and we can also provide you with a hypnosis download for relaxation and stress reduction.
Drink Less Worksheets
Do you want to understand your alcohol triggers and take back control of your drinking? If so our alcohol reduction worksheets can help you to be more mindful of your drinking and help you to control your cravings.
Our set of 14 informational printables and worksheets can help you to boost your motivation and willpower and address the underlying reasons why you may be drinking too much.
These are available to buy in our online store for self-help use at home.
Can You Be Hypnotised to Stop Drinking?
Hypnotherapy To Stop Drinking is not a form of magic but a form of therapy to help change problematic thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
As therapists, we work with both the conscious and the subconscious mind. Clinical hypnosis for drinking problems uses a number of techniques and strategies to help create change. These include positive suggestions and affirmations for sobriety, visualisation techniques, analytical hypnosis as well as coaching.
Effective treatment methods for alcohol reduction are tailored to your particular needs. The key to any successful addiction treatment is working with you to establish the underlying causes of your problem and putting in place better strategies to help.
Stop Drinking hypnosis or moderate drinking therapy does require active participation from the person attending the session to make changes.
How Does Hypnosis Work For Addictions?
Typical addiction support groups for alcohol abuse such as Alcoholics Anonymous tend to work with the conscious mind through counselling to create behaviour change. This can be very helpful for many people but stop drinking alcohol hypnosis works with the subconscious mind which is an alternative if you don’t know the underlying reasons for your need to drink.
Hypnosis is not a medical treatment and certainly isn’t alcohol rehab. Instead, it is a form of therapy that involves creating change deep down in your unconscious mind where some of your unhelpful habits or behaviours may be based without you even being aware.
A trained hypnotherapist is skilled at working with clients to find out the reasons why they may be having difficulties with drinking. When these are known it becomes much easier to aim hypnosis at the actual problem rather than guessing.
When the information from the subconscious is brought into your conscious awareness it can help behaviour change and enable you to make changes to your lifestyle to improve your physical and mental health.
Hypnosis for Drinking Less Can Help
When we speak to you it is in complete confidentiality. Firstly we will discuss with you the extent of your issue with alcohol. We know that there are degrees of problems related to alcohol use disorder. Many of our clients simply want to drink slightly less to improve their health whilst others would like to make bigger lifestyle changes.
Our Hypnotherapy to Stop Drinking or moderate alcohol program helps you to understand why you dissociate with alcohol so that we can tackle the emotions that are the root cause of your problem. For clients who are unable to attend sessions at our clinics, we offer online sessions to help you reduce your alcohol intake.
Please note our therapy is not suitable for alcoholics or people who need detox programs or medical care. Please visit your GP to get advice on who can help you when you have more specialist needs.
Self-Hypnosis for Drinking Less Alcohol
As part of our drink-less program, all our clients receive a self-hypnosis for drinking less alcohol download. This mindfulness meditation helps to change subconscious thought patterns related to alcohol and helps boost motivation and willpower.
Self-hypnosis is a great self-help tool that you can use at home to make positive changes. We have many other hypnosis audios that we also may think are suitable for your individual needs and these are given to you if you require them.
You can purchase this download in our online shop if you are looking to try self-help methods to moderate your drinking at home.*
Hypnosis to Quit Drinking Sessions
Before we begin working with any client we will take a full assessment to understand more about you. In particular, we are looking at your lifestyle, medical history and past problems to understand where your issues may have begun. Once this information has been taken we usually start with suggestion hypnosis and positive visualisation which is used to help increase your motivation and give subconscious messages for change.
In our initial sessions for hypnotherapy for alcohol reduction, we also will work with you on habit reversal techniques. We usually take a comprehensive approach to alter your behaviours during a hypnosis session. Part of our methods involve coaching and NLP and involve conscious actions whilst some of our work is at a subconscious level.
Our subsequent sessions involve deeper analytical work under hypnosis to address the root cause of the drinking. Hypnosis is a trance-like state where you know where you are feeling much more relaxed and focused.
We know that typical reasons for drinking include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and confidence issues. These negative feelings mean that many people use alcohol as a way of forgetting their problems. We work with you to help identify those negative feelings and assist you with finding better alternatives for managing your emotions so that you can move forward without using alcohol as a crutch.*

Hypnosis to Stop Drinking Wine
One of the biggest issues that we see with our clients is people who are drinking far too much wine in the evening. They may well have started to drink a glass of wine in the evening to unwind but as their habit increased they find that now they can easily drink one to two bottles every evening! Reducing this evening habit is a key part of our programs as this amount of alcohol can have a significant impact on the health of our clients.
We have a set of alcohol reduction worksheets for you to use as part of your program which can help you to identify your drinking triggers and make you more mindful of your drinking habits. Mindful drinking can be a useful way of reducing alcohol intake.
Hypnotherapy for Binge Drinking
We also work with clients to help them stop binge drinking. This differs from other forms of alcohol addiction as many of our clients are able to go for days or even weeks without drinking anything and then they have a binge and can’t stop drinking.
Binge drinking can take place at home but generally, it happens when our clients go out for a night with friends or family. What starts as a nice social drink can quickly get out of control and typically the person loses control and doesn’t stop drinking until they are completely drunk or blackout.
Binge drinking can be dangerous not just for your physical health but also because it puts you in danger. Binge drinkers are more prone to accidents, losing belongings and being sick at the end of their evening.
Our stop binge drinking hypnosis helps you to understand why you need to escape and helps you find solutions to tackle the root cause of your problem.*
