Hypnotherapy Nottingham, U405
Habits, compulsions *, misuse *, addictions *, obsessions *.. there are many classifications and definitions but if it is a repeated behaviour you would rather do without then you've come to the right place.
All the help you need
I believe that everybody has all the resources required to change any behaviour
they need to (normally buried within themselves). Finding those resources
and maintaining them can be very challenging and may appear almost 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 good use. Efforts might also fail because the necessary
endurance is lacking. This is 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.
The way forward
Hypnotherapy can clearly show you 1) the benefits of change, 2) the pleasure
in watching those changes happen, 3) a multitude of methods to combat every
single obstacle that's in your way and all potential threats that might
undermine your success, 4) it can bring to the fore positive energy and
strengths you didn't know you had in you, and 5) offer you a clear vision
of the habit-free future that is waiting for you.
Simple & Complex Habits
Simpler habits such as bed wetting, shyness and self consciousness, blushing,
bruxism (tooth grinding)*, compulsive shopping and spending, hair pulling,
thumb sucking, nail biting, tics, etc can be tackled with Hypnotherapy and
NLP alone. More complex problems such as eating disorders/issues, drug addiction,
gambling, and self-harm generally involve a wider 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 its grasp, and give you back the control.
Habits, compulsions *, misuse *, addictions *, obsessions * is a very broad range but includes issues such as:
- bed wetting
- binging
- bruxism (tooth-grinding)* 
- blushing
- self consciousness, shyness
- compulsive shopping and spending
- thumb sucking
- hair pulling
- nail biting
- tics
The more serious end of the habit spectrum includes:
- substance misuse *
- substance dependancy *
- drug addiction *
- gambling
- eating disorders and issues, bulimia, anorexia..*
- obsessions and compulsions *
- Tourettes syndrome *
- self harm
There are many forms, so if you can't see it on these lists please contact me regarding your own specific issue.
Smoking is dealt with separately on this page and I will be writing dedicated pages for each of the above conditions when I can. In the meantime please contact me for details on more specific help.
Common Ground
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 behaviours. 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
*Required disclaimer: Results, symptoms and treatment may vary from person to person, all individual cases are taken on merit.
Typically the treatment will involve:
- PostHypnotic Suggestions with a view to:
- bring to the surface powerful resource memories and abilities from
the subconscious, to empower the client in the challenges ahead. These
resources can then be accessed whenever needed.
- increase the desire for all the benefits of a habit free life
- increase the enjoyment experienced during the process of changing.
- boost confidence, thereby helping with the process of change.
- stop the current habitual behaviour patterns
-Hypnotic Progression - to reveal a view of the future, a habit free life and reveal insights on how to change which come with this vision.
-NLP - to initiate and engage 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 heart 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
- CBT techniques - may be used to help retrain the automatic thinking that can be involved in a persistent habit or addiction.
- Further NLP - may be used to further strengthen the client against powerful compulsive emotions.
- EMDR, EFT (and more NLP) - may be used to undermine the automatic emotional responses attached to compulsions and cravings.
- Post Hypnotic Suggestions - can be targeted further to weaken existing responses and empower new responses in the specific areas required by each unique situation. For example, depressions, 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.
