HYPNOTHERAPY LOS ANGELES - BOARD CERTIFIED THERAPEUTIC HYPNOSIS FOR ADDICTIONS & BAD HABITS

Why we have addictions

 

Our reactions to things are based on experiences stored in our subconscious mind. Our subconscious actually feels our addiction is "good" because it has stored the feeling of satisfaction we receive from it. Our subconscious is only able to refer to emotions we have already experienced, and it will automatically trigger us to feel those emotions when we see or think of a particular behavior. Up to now, and even if we know it is not beneficial to us, our addiction has given us some form of "pleasure" or we would not have been doing it.

 

How therapeutic hypnosis can help you free yourself from addiction

 

With hypnotherapy, you can access the most powerful force within your mind. I am speaking of your subconscious mind. Often a person's choices within life, although seemingly made through conscious and rational decisions, are actually determined by the beliefs and motivations that reside within their subconscious mind. 

 

My approach to addiction help is to focus on the subconscious elements driving the behavior. I believe these are much more important than any physical factors, although physical elements are part of some addictions. Whether it's drugs, cigarettes, alcohol or chocolate, or an addiction to a behavior such as gambling, watching porn, cleaning or stealing, therapeutic hypnosis gives your unconscious mind the help it needs to find a lasting and beneficial option in place of your addiction.

 

Break your bad habits...and replace them with good ones

 

If you want to get rid of bad habits, therapeutic hypnosis is one of the most effective ways to do it – and do it for good. People are often surprised how difficult it is to get rid of an unwanted compulsive behavior. They tell themselves that it’s all a matter of willpower, and that once they have decided not to do that any more, that will be it. So it’s a shock when they find that the old habits keep on sneaking right back in there.

 

Irritating habits really can be changed when you understand that you need to deal with them at the subconscious level, where they formed in response to unconsciously perceived needs. Using therapeutic hypnosis, we can access those unconscious levels where automatic behavior patterns are set up – all those things you do without even noticing you’re doing them until you’ve done them. Only then can we easily, comfortably and lastingly establish a new set of beneficial behaviors that will meet those needs more appropriately and put paid to the bad habits.
