Alcohol is all around us. There's almost nowhere you can't buy it. Alcohol is quite socially accepted, unlike other intoxicants.
The figures from Switzerland on alcohol consumption are sobering, so to speak.
Due to the cultural anchoring of alcohol, it is not surprising that 86% of people over the age of 15 drink alcohol. The WHO calculates that 21.6% of the Swiss population over the age of 15 consume alcohol at high risk. This means that almost one in ten people drink alcohol every day in Switzerland 3 (9.5%). In general, it can be assumed that every 5th person drinks too much or too often. In the end, it turns out that around 250,000 people in Switzerland are addicted to alcohol.
With figures like these, you might ask yourself at what point you switch from being a risky drinker to an alcohol addict. Like many aspects of the psyche, it is a fluid transition. That's why we can also rely somewhat on the clinical definition:
The signs of alcohol addiction are as follows:
So anyone who has such signs should think about their own alcohol consumption. As hypnosis is not only suitable as therapy but also as prevention, it makes sense to make an appointment even at the first signs. After all, if you are worried that you are in the risk zone, this is usually an important sign that something is unconsciously not going quite as it should. Of course, not everyone who drinks every weekend is an alcoholic. But you shouldn't wait too long. You should change something as soon as you notice the first effects on your body or even alcohol poisoning.
And in general, you can say that the earlier you intervene, the easier it can be to change something.
Nobody wakes up one morning and suddenly becomes addicted to alcohol out of nowhere. It is usually a gradual process until at some point you realize that something is going wrong. Unfortunately, it usually continues until you reach a point where you realize that you can't go on. Many people then still have a certain amount of time before they seek help. This is often the development of dependency. There are different definitions of the stages, stages or phases of alcohol addiction. For me, however, it is important to know where we can intervene. Because although hypnotherapy has certain possibilities that affect the memory, bypassing the addiction memory is a challenging topic. And the earlier we start, the better.
They say that the first step is to recognize that you have a problem. You can come to me even earlier. Hypnotherapy for alcohol can be used not only in cases of severe alcohol addiction. Hypnotherapy treatment can also be a good idea even at the first signs.
You don't have to be an "addict" to want to change your alcohol consumption.
What is true in the treatment of addiction with hypnosis is also true in the treatment of alcohol addiction with hypnotherapy. When people drink to change their feelings or dull pain, alcohol becomes a tool of the unconscious that goes beyond intoxication. When alcohol becomes a remedy for hecticness, stress or sadness, it becomes increasingly difficult to get away from it.
Those affected are often plagued by shame about the things they have done under the influence of alcohol. The cumulative hangover gets bigger and bigger, so to speak.

For these reasons, it is important to know that it is a good idea to reduce alcohol consumption as early as possible with hypnosis.
In all treatments for alcohol addiction, it is important that the client sticks with it. It is therefore important that the withdrawal symptoms are reduced so that they are tolerable. If the withdrawal from alcohol addiction is to be successful in the long term, many things have to be brought into balance internally. The special properties of hypnosis are very useful here.
Hypnotherapy helps to tackle the root of alcohol addiction and thus reduce the addiction. In the treatments we not only move away from alcohol but also towards a more balanced life. Among other things, the risk factors for relapse are for a relapse are reduced. The unconscious mind is taught methods of dealing with stress, negative feelings etc. without alcohol.
Through the targeted use of amnesia, it may also be possible to erase the addiction memory piece by piece.
In order to stop drinking with hypnosis, you need to strengthen your inner resources. Not only the ability to say no, but also, for example, the strength to face up to what the alcohol has caused. By strengthening from within, the addiction to alcohol can be pushed more and more out of one's own system and alcohol abuse decreases in a sustainable way. Abstinence becomes permanently possible from within and not just temporarily triggered from the outside.
Hypnotherapy for alcoholics often requires a fundamental change. This usually takes some time. During this time, it is often crucial that those affected can do something themselves. Self-hypnosis gives us this opportunity. Whenever the desire or urge for alcohol arises, it can be used to overcome the addiction. Through hypnotic training, it is possible to stay strong. be able to.
Hypnotherapy is not magic, nor is it a "fix" from the outside. If the goal is to achieve lifelong abstinence, then this is not a matter for just a few sessions. If you want to get away from alcohol with hypnosis, you really have to be fully committed to it and help yourself. Fighting alcohol addiction naturally takes time. Hypnotherapy is well suited to slowly reducing the addiction while strengthening other aspects of life.
Hypnotherapy is very suitable for the treatment of alcohol addiction. Both in the direct fight against addiction and in the prevention of relapse. Due to the unique possibilities of hypnosis, it can also be used as a supplement to other treatment methods.
As with other addictions, hypnosis can help with gambling addiction. This refers to addiction to gambling, not addiction to computer games.
Therapy with hypnosis helps to get gambling under control.
Since pathological gambling has recently been placed in the same category as substance addictions, the approach to treatment is also similar.
If we want to understand why certain people sacrifice so much for the game and partially distort their whole reality in order to continue gambling, we need to understand how the unconscious works in such a situation.
We know that the unconscious mind basically makes sure that we survive. And one of the aspects of survival is to take the easiest way to get resources.
That's why it rewards a win disproportionately with happiness hormones in certain people.
Many who have developed an addiction to gambling tell of an initial winning phase. So the first steps in the direction of addiction are the initial successes and the accompanying feelings of happiness. For the unconscious, it becomes an easy way to get satisfaction.
The excitement and tension of gambling can also be wonderfully used to cover up other things or to balance out negative feelings. Those who are driven to gamble often forget everything else.
A gambling trance develops, so to speak, in which much runs on autopilot and the conscious mind no longer has much to say. For this reason, gambling addiction is also called impulse control disorder. The impulses to gamble run largely unconsciously. Many describe this as "like another person".
Gambling or betting becomes more and more the main tactic of the unconscious to balance problems. That is why it is often reported that the thoughts turn more and more around the game.
The more gambling takes over in life, the more it becomes an identity. Winnings are bragged about and the ideal image of the winner is played.
Whether in a casino or on the Internet, every game of chance from roulette to scratch cards is designed so that "the bank" is in the plus for a long time and the player is in the minus. So if you play long enough, you always lose. This makes for ever greater financial consequences and perhaps even first despair.
But what has the unconscious chosen as the perfect solution for negative feelings? Playing. This means that a vicious circle of negative feelings and the ever more often failing attempt to compensate for them occurs. The pathological gambling can thus hardly be stopped. The more is lost, the more must be played.
The reality of the losses must be distorted more and more or talked down and many think they can compensate the losses with profits. The fact that this is statistically impossible, so to speak, has no influence, because the conscious mind has lost its influence.
In addition, the system gets used to the excitement and therefore higher and higher amounts have to be set in order to achieve the same tension. More and more money has to be brought in. Begging, borrowing and stealing are the order of the day when one's own money is no longer enough. In the process, relationships often fall apart, leading to even greater isolation. It also blocks many possible ways out of addiction.
The course of gambling addiction is not always just steadily getting worse. Episodes of crashing and catching take place in the lives of many addicted gamblers.
However, when these processes are consolidated in the brain, it is difficult to get rid of them. Accordingly, the danger of relapse exists until we convince the unconscious mind of other tactics and learn new procedures. Only with change from the ground up is it possible to get rid of gambling addiction.
When the conscious mind cannot make the changes needed, hypnotherapy is a great way to make progress in gambling addiction treatment.
Wherever the affected person is in the gambling career, hypnosis has methods to treat the gambling addiction.
The therapy of gambling addiction with hypnosis has different approaches. These are similar to the treatment of addictions to substances.
In order to get a gambling addiction under control, the unconscious must basically be convinced to stop asking for gambling. Since the unconscious part differs from person to person, the exact procedures of therapy with hypnosis are also different.
However, there are certain parts that occur over and over again.
In gambling-related addictive behavior, there is often a disconnect between the conscious mind and the unconscious parts. This usually manifests as "I know I should stop, but I can't". In such cases, the unconscious is still too much at the helm and the impulses are not yet controlled enough.
In hypnosis, all parts can connect. With the more direct communication, the conscious mind can regain some control. Furthermore, in the hypnotic trance, certain logic can be brought closer to the unconscious mind.
So there is a better understanding and possibly a reduction in stress.
When there is some control again and the hole is not dug any deeper, then we can really stop playing.
To do this, we often need to replace gambling with something positive. To do this, hypnotherapy often uses the option of resetting the reward center. Then other processes are practiced in the unconscious to interrupt the patterns. That is, gambling is replaced as the go-to tactic of the unconscious and the reward in the brain is reduced or dissolved.
Hypnosis can be very helpful in overcoming gambling addiction. With the effect directly in the unconscious, old patterns can be dissolved and the addiction can be discarded.
Medication addiction can be an extremely stressful situation for those affected. Addiction to medications can lead to numerous health, social and emotional problems and can have a significant impact on quality of life. Many people struggling with medication addiction feel helpless and do not know how to get rid of their dependence on medication
Using the methods of hypnotherapy, I can help you identify the unconscious causes of your addiction and overcome your dependence. Hypnosis does not work like a magic pill, but it can make it possible to be permanently free of drug addiction. This applies to all types of pill addiction such as tranquilizers, painkillers, benzodiazepines or similar.

In the treatment of drug addiction, hypnosis has several advantages over other approaches. By treating in the unconscious, we can address the root causes of medication abuse directly and positively influence the feelings and experiences associated with it. In addition, it can also help relieve stress and reduce negative emotions - all factors that can be associated with medication addiction.
When we lack something to achieve balance within, the unconscious seeks outward. That is, the addictive substance gives what should actually come from within. Most of the time it is a feeling or a state that has been achieved with the medication and that has given you something that is otherwise difficult or impossible to get. For this reason, the unconscious attaches this to the particular substances. As the outside chemistry helps with the inner balance, a physical dependency develops as the inner chemistry adapts.
Thus, when treating drug addiction, it is important to overwrite the addictive memory with positives and developing one's own ways of dealing with the world or drug help.
Although hypnosis offers many benefits, one must always be aware that there is no magic solution - in the end, it is up to the person themselves whether or not they ultimately succeed.
