Hypnotherapy To Help With Drinking

We all like a drink, maybe after work to unwind, release a bit of stress, or maybe its a social thing or even just like to have 1 or 2 when you get home. For an increasing number of people though, drinking goes beyond this enjoyable habit and becomes a lot more of a burden. It can get to a point where the drinking seems to take control, and if you’re one of those people that feels like they haven’t got a stop switch then why not try hypnotherapy and see how we can help.

Help Me Stop Drinking

Dont think there is nothing you can do, environmental factors such as your job, family, relationships, work can all be either a contributing factor or equally they can be the things that help you get out of this rut. It doesnt matter how much you drink, its what you think is an acceptable amount of alcohol that is what is in question. For some people a bottle of wine a night is ok, for some its far too much.

I know from experience of helping both clients who drink a bit too much to working with people who have serious drinking conditions that you can learn how to control it.

Below are some useful tips from helpguide.org/alcohol-treatment

Do you want to stop drinking altogether or just cut back? If your goal is to reduce your drinking, decide which days you will drink alcohol and how many drinks you will allow yourself per day. Try to commit to at least two days each week when you won’t drink at all.
When do you want to stop drinking or start drinking less? Tomorrow? In a week? Next month? Within six months? If you’re trying to stop drinking, set a specific quit date.

After you’ve set your goals to either stop or cut back your drinking, write down some ideas on how you can help yourself accomplish these goals. For example:

Get rid of temptations. Remove all alcohol, barware, and other drinking reminders from your home and office.
Announce your goal. Let friends, family members, and co-workers know that you’re trying to stop drinking. If they drink, ask them to support your recovery by not doing so in front of you.
Be upfront about your new limits. Make it clear that drinking will not be allowed in your home and that you may not be able to attend events where alcohol is being served.
Avoid bad influences. Distance yourself from people who don’t support your efforts to stop drinking or respect the limits you’ve set. This may mean giving up certain friends and social connections.
Learn from the past. Reflect on previous attempts to stop drinking. What worked? What didn’t? What can you do differently this time to avoid pitfalls?

If you still struggle or you feel you need a bit more than self help call now for a FREE CONFIDENTIAL chat. We can discuss where this needs to go and see how we can help you get control.

Emetophobia – Fear Of Being Sick

Phobia Of Being Sick

If youre suffering with this, you know how bad it can be. Emetophobia can be one of the worst phobias to have, as it becomes self fulfilling. I have helped a lot of clients to beat their emetophobia with hypnotherapy. As long as you want to beat it, thats the most important thing.

People who suffer from this condition, which is a phobia of being sick can have a very tough time of it, which is why they turn to a hypnotherapist who can help. The thing with emetophobia is that it makes you anxious, feel nervous, worried etc. For a lot of people this means that the nerves in the stomach can be in turmoil which in turn, then makes them feel sick!

Of course, this then makes a sufferer get so wound up about their phobia, that it actually causes them to experience the thing they fear most.

A short paraphrased section on emetophobia from Dr Carbonell in America may help:

Emetophobia occurs in men and women, children and adults. Some are afraid that they will vomit. Others are afraid of seeing others vomit. Most have trouble describing what they fear will happen if they vomit, or see others vomit, but vaguely fear some terrible loss of control, a catastrophe from which they won’t recover. They fear insanity, death, endless vomiting, and so on. Most times they can recognize that these catastrophes aren’t really going to result from vomiting. But when they feel that vomiting may occur, then they don’t feel so sure.

The overwhelming majority have vomited in the past, since almost all of us have, with no lasting ill effects. Most have also seen others vomit. Yet the absence of any ill effects from past vomiting has generally not helped a person overcome the fear of vomiting. Instead, it usually leads people to try to avoid any possibility of vomiting, and they struggle to protect themselves against what they fear.

Hypnotherapy can help!

Generally speaking, most phobias can be treated quite quickly – in around 3 sessions (depending on the person of course). Hypnosis can help you break these vicious cycles of fear>>worry>>fear of being sick>> more fear etc etc. Believe it or not, its actually the subsequent fear that causes as many problems as the original fear. I have helped people across Derbyshire to beat their fear of being sick (emetophobia) for many years. It is a relatively common fear, but you can learn how to overcome it.

Sufferers can have a terrible time in trying to avoid any kind of situation that might make them feel sick/anxious. This can mean even avoiding trips to new or exciting places, holidays, restaurants the list goes on.

With a Master Practitioner certificate in NLP i can combine hypnotherapy and NLP to ensure that you get a fast and effective treatment for your emetophobia.

As always if you are in need of hypnotherapy in Derbyshire you can call for a free consultation and see how we can help you overcome this condition. See here for a hypnotherapist in the Mansfield area
