Hypnosis offers alcohol relief

I do a lot of work with individuals having difficulty with alcohol.  There’s a common thread with these people; they talk about once being able to drink socially; having control; and how drinking was never a problem.  After a few years, they realize that alcohol is running the show.

Most talk about how alcohol becomes ever present in their day-to-day lives, and how it’s beginning to affect the quality of their life.

One of the unique qualities of hypnosis is how it can become a healthier alternative to drinking.  In general the process of hypnosis is quite euphoric.  It creates a sense of cathartic relief and profound relaxation.  In sessions geared for excessive drinkers the euphoric factor is significantly increased.

My clients learn that hypnosis offers a more enjoyable, healthier high than alcohol.  So rather than trying to find the strength to push themselves away from drinking, they are presented with the opportunity to trade up to something better.

Clients make this important connection on the first office visit, and then they learn to take the same approach to the solution as they once used to create the problem, repetition.  By repeating the hypnosis process on a daily basis the mind and body make a powerful connection, and new patterns supporting lasting healthy relief are formed.

There’s nothing difficult about hypnosis at all. Even though most first visit clients have never experienced hypnosis before, the overwhelming majority do extremely well.  The euphoric soaked relaxation gets their attention right away, and most leave the office quite eager to repeat the session was they get home.

I see my alcohol clients for a series of four sessions. In between office visits they listen to sessions at home at least once a day.  Hypnosis creates a positive new thinking style.

It helps individuals reframe their life view.  Instead of always focusing on the problem, they are guided in hypnosis to envision freedom and relief.  Not only do they quickly become free of past burdens but with hypnosis they become excited about moving forward into a new healthier lifestyle.

Why are so many people fat?


Do you know anyone who permanently fixed a weight problem with a diet? It’s never happened. Why are there dozens of diets to choose from? If diets actually worked shouldn’t there only be a few to choose from? 85% of my hypnosis practice involves helping people with weight loss. People are finally realizing that dieting is a scam; it’s a temporary fix to a long-term problem.  

I know it’s hard to imagine but there was a time, before diets, gyms and fast food even existed. Back then the majority of the population was mostly fit, healthy and trim. People ate simple, real food and grocery stores were small and food was locally produced. It’s called a balanced, active healthy lifestyle, that’s the way life used to be for most people.

The world changed dramatically after World War II. Food became manufactured and chemically processed so it could be shipped globally. In the 1950’s junk-food dealers started peddling their wares on every corner and the television advertising bombardment began. We never stood a chance.

Just because it is sold in supermarkets doesn’t mean we should be eating it. The next time you notice an obese shopper at the check-out line see what’s in their cart, then glance at the person, then look at your cart. Many of my clients have been shocked to see the similarity in choices.

I don’t teach nutrition to my weight loss clients. During deep hypnosis they routinely hear a new mantra: less food-less weight; less sugar-salt and fat; less meat-dairy and more plants. They also learn that weight is not the problem but rather the symptom. The problem is the pattern of thought, how we think and what we most frequently think about.

Routine hypnosis pulls unwanted patterns out by the root and replaces them with preferred alternatives. It also harnesses the imagination so clients can envision what they are going to look and feel like in the future. Rather than focusing on the problem they routinely hang out with the anticipation of success. My clients listen to their sessions daily for 2 months and most of them do really well. In fact, many have appeared on my TV show to share their success stories. Hypnosis is fast, easy, and effective.

20 things you didn’t know about obesity

1. Child-safety seat manufacturers are starting to make bigger models after a recent study showed that over 250,000 U.S. children age 6 and under are too fat to use them.

2. According to a study by the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University, nearly half the 4,000 people responding to an online survey about obesity said they would give up a year of their life rather than be fat.

3. Between 15 percent and 30 percent also said they would rather walk away from their marriage, give up the possibility of having children, be depressed, or become alcoholic rather than be obese.

4. Five percent and 4 percent, respectively, said they would rather lose a limb or be blind than be overweight.
