Hypnosis That Doesn’t Stigmatize Eating Disorders

eating disorder signYou ever notice that people who eat too much are considered as someone who just has poor eating habits, and people who eat too little are pathologized, pitied, and diagnosed with a mental disorder? Why?

How come if you eat too much or the wrong foods, it’s an unfavorable preference, but if you’re bulimic or anorexic, people wonder about your childhood, about your confidence, and about your overall mental well-being?

Stop Smoking With Hypnosis in 3 Sessions

Break your cigarette addictionWhen I tell people about how hypnosis to stop smoking is very effective and takes only two or three sessions, people ask me, “Why does smoking cessation treatment take so few sessions when other issues take longer to treat?” That’s a very good question.

Let me start the answer by noting that hypnosis in general is short-term and session-based. As opposed to going to a psychologist or a psychiatrist who will often require weekly visits for anywhere from a few months to several years, sessions with me will treat the issue in a matter of a handful of sessions. I want you out my door as quickly as you came in; the only difference being that you’re better.

Smoking cessation, far from being an “easy” thing to treat (nothing is easy or hard – I treat all my patients with the same devotion and ethic), is a very specific and targeted problem.

Oftentimes, it’s a simple matter of the nicotine being both a biochemical stress reducer and highly addictive substance. Very seldom do people start smoking because their mother died when they were four or because they never had any luck with finding a mate.

Smoking isn’t completely isolated of course. It helps reduce stress and anxiety, and one can definitely start or relapse back to smoking during a particular crisis. But my point is that, unlike depression, drugs, and relationship turmoil, smoking does not have the same levels of complexity and psychological nuance that make treatment more intensive and elaborate.

Some Basic Reminders About Hypnosis

Long or short, length doesn’t determine the quality of hypnotherapy. On average, it takes three to five sessions for results to take form.
Remember that it’s not so much the problem itself but how you handle it that counts. We could all be facing the same dilemma. But since we’ve each been shaped by different experiences, there isn’t one hard and fast solution to satisfy everyone. The following factors are key:
  1. how motivated you are in solving the problem
  2. what kind of support you’re getting
  3. how long the problem has persisted and why

More times than not, the problem is legitimate. In fact, for over thirty-five years, I don’t think any client has come to me with a problem not worth solving. So don’t worry about validating that part of your situation.

Don’t forget that it will take a lot of strength, not necessarily time, to get over problems that have been around for longer. A thirty-year-long cycle of abuse, for example, is difficult to overcome right away. Even after getting past the obstacle, people could still feel detached from their achievement. They may want to self-destruct given the slightest trigger or interruption, because they don’t know how to function in the new and better state.
I can’t emphasize enough: A bold, positive change to your way of thinking, which you can accomplish through hypnotherapy, can change the rest of your life for the better permanently.

Addicted to Video Games? Hypnotherapy Will Help You

When people hear the word “addiction” they most frequently think of the most commonly treated addictions, such as: alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, etc. However, the are other addictions that are also insidious and damaging. One such addiction is video game addiction.

Addiction to video games is very common among the poor, middle class, and wealthy. It robs a person of both their time and their balance. Very often school grades go down and communication lines disappear.
