Specializing in ALCOHOLISM- Please take time to read what our philosophy on addiction is and why our
programs work so quickly.
Hypnosis by contrast is safe, reliable and quick when dealing
with alcoholism.
There is hope for everyone dealing with alcohol addiction, however each
individual requires a specific program tailored to their needs. Keep in
mind, the recovery process is long and requires commitment from and
extensive support to the individual. Utilizing our program,
"long" is defined as a month with 80% recovery from the very
first session. When evaluating treatment program options, the
following points should be considered:
- No single treatment is appropriate for all individuals, we customize
each and every program for the individual.
- Treatment needs to be readily available. We have a 24 hour
on-call individual for our clients during the recovery process.
That means whether someone is being treated in our office or their
home (same cost) someone is available 24-7.
- Effective treatment attends to multiple needs of the individual, not
just his or her addiction. Again, we customize each and every program
for the individual suffering from the addiction.
- An individual’s treatment and services plan must be assessed often
and modified to meet the person’s changing needs. This is
accomplished with our program on a daily basis.
- Remaining in treatment for an adequate period of time is critical
for treatment effectiveness.
- Counseling and other behavioral therapies are critical components of
virtually all effective treatments for addiction.
- Addicted or abusing individuals with coexisting mental disorders
should have both disorders treated in an integrated way.
- Medical management of withdrawal syndrome is only the first stage of
addiction treatment and by itself does little to change long-term drug
use.
- Treatment needs to be voluntary to be effective.
- Possible drug use during treatment must be monitored continuously.
- Drug addiction is treatable and there is hope of full recovery.
By introducing relaxation therapy along with imagery, hypnosis helps
remove physical barriers to recovery, such as the body's symptoms of
withdrawal, anxiety, muscle tension, spasm and pain. Along with
reinforcing the commitment to sobriety or abstinence from alcohol.

Dissecting Jekyll and Hyde
Ask yourself: Prior to your particular substance abuse, what was the
nature of the original motivation and emotional reward of the drug? What
did it seem to do for me that was good? The majority of us cannot truly
explain what originally motivated today's behavior. Sometimes a certain
smell, sound, scene in a movie, or reaction from another person can send
us into a series of emotional reactions that are so habitual themselves
that they
have become uncontrollable. This is the subconscious mind steady at work.
The reason that this point is so important is because treating addiction
is next to impossible unless the reason for the first repeated use is
identified. You need a tool to access your subconscious mind, learn what
event(s) in your life caused this myriad of emotions that the subconscious
mind is working on overtime to protect your conscious mind from.
A simple example of a subconscious on overdrive: Mom is newly
divorced, a single working mother, just coming home with John, her four
year old son. John goes quietly into the living room with his coke and
turns on the TV. Mom hurriedly heads straight for the kitchen and starts
dinner. Eventually, on her way across the house to change clothes she sees
John drawing spirals in a puddle of spilled coke on the table.
“Johnny! Look what you’ve done!” she issues in her loudest angry
tone. Startled, John begins to cry. “Crying won’t clean up the
mess,” she yells, “Look at the carpet! We just moved in and look what
you’ve done. You’re always tearing everything up! I have to pay for
all of this, you know. We just moved in and the carpet’s ruined! Ruined,
just like your Dad ruined everything,” she says as she goes to get a rag
to clean up the mess. “You’re just like him. I hate him,” she
exclaims as she begins cleaning the stain. “Always messing everything
up, never working, drunk, amounts to nothing, and you look just like
him”, she mutters while feverishly scrubbing and blotting the ever
widening stain. “You’ll be just like him when you grow up. Just like
him. A good for nothing $@#%.” Having heard this before and realizing
Mom is no longer paying any attention to him, John just turns and stares
at the TV with tears rolling down his cheeks. He doesn’t want to be
anything bad. Or like Dad, or make Mom mad…
In his mid-thirties, John now battles drug and alcohol addiction, is
divorced and has two DUIs. John has been seeking treatment for his
addictions for some time, even before the courts made him. When asked by
his newly appointed therapist why he continues to seek solace in substance
abuse, John’s only answer is “I just want to be like everyone else.”
In truth, that is just what he has succeeded in doing. Fulfilling his
Mom’s prophecy in being just like everyone else…Dad. John cannot
remember what really sent his subconscious mind on this fruitless journey
of protection. So he repeats the journey over and over again; trading
alcohol and Marijuana for muscle relaxants and stress relievers issued by
a doctor in his best interest; never recognizing the triggers or having a
fighting chance at healing.
By using hypnosis as the tool to access John’s subconscious mind, he
could learn what event in his life has attributed to his succession of
substance abuse, deal with it and the emotions that his subconscious mind
is still doing overtime on.
Learning to Live Again - Facing Reality
Dealing with family, people at work, close friends, and even acquaintances
can induce a multitude of mixed feelings. You feel powerless to control
this onslaught of emotions because you not only fail to recognize them;
they come and go so fast. Those feelings are now habits of the
subconscious mind. You may be angry right now but don’t remember or know
that just moments before, you whirled through sadness, helplessness and
fear all at the same time.
Since it is necessary for you to go on with a healthier life you must
learn to handle these situations and their recurring sensations. Add that
to your already reeling emotions and battling the addiction and it may
seem overwhelming and even pointless. That is the subconscious at work
busily defending you the best it knows how.
Hypnosis can help you retrain your subconscious so that you are better
capable of handling your emotions. Once your behavior takes on a new
color, other people’s stereotypes and resolve about you will change too.
More often than not, you will find a positive side to your life that you
only dreamed existed.
What to Expect and the End Result
The psychological and emotional issues surrounding the addiction will be
addressed and treated. Just exactly as you learned to walk and talk in
your infancy, your subconscious mind will be taught to cope with issues
you were incapable of dealing with at one time which led to abusive
behavior. Coping is an important part of healing the emotional pain.
Any emotional or physiological triggers for relapse will be identified and
avoidance
techniques explored and put into action. Positive feelings and the ability
to succeed will be reinforced, as can motivational techniques, body image
and self-control. Additionally, many clients have found that hypnosis
calms the nerves, the mind and the body, releases stress and alleviates
anxiety. Imagine this without the use of a replacement drug such as
Prozac.
The positive ideas and perspectives that you receive build self-esteem and
boost confidence. You can have personal accountability for yourself, your
thoughts, and your actions again and be completely successful in your
recovery. But moreover hypnosis has a positive effect on every aspect of a
person’s life.
You can even use hypnosis in conjunction with your current support network
or addictions program to put you back in control of your emotions and make
your recovery a complete success.

Hypnosis For Cocaine Addiction Documented
Case Study
Hypnosis was successfully used to overcome a $500 (five grams) per
day cocaine addiction. The subject was a female in her twenties.
After approximately 8 months of addiction, she decided to use
hypnosis in an attempt to overcome the addiction itself. Over the
next 4 months, she used hypnosis three times a day and at the end
of this period, her addiction was broken, and she has been drug
free for the past 9 years. Hypnosis was the only intervention, and
no support network of any kind was available. |
