Struggling with Addiction?
Addictions, whether to substances like alcohol and drugs or behaviours such as gambling, can be challenging to overcome. At Peacock Therapies, I offer compassionate and effective hypnotherapy treatments to help you regain control and achieve lasting recovery.
Hypnotherapy combines psychotherapy and hypnosis to address the underlying psychological aspects of addiction. Research indicates that hypnotherapy is an incredibly successful tool in helping individuals gain control over their addictions, achieve sobriety, and prevent relapse.
Ready to Break Free from Addiction?
At Peacock Therapies, I utilise a range of Cognitive Hypnotherapy techniques to support your recovery:
Deep Mental Focus: Through guided hypnosis, you’ll achieve a state of deep mental focus, allowing you to become fully absorbed in positive thoughts and imagery.
Dissociation: Hypnotherapy enables you to observe situations from a different perspective, reducing the emotional impact and helping you develop new coping strategies.
Positive Behavioural Changes: While in a hypnotic state, you’re more open to therapeutic suggestions aimed at promoting healthy decision-making and reinforcing your commitment to sobriety.
Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in treating various addictions. For instance, research on group hypnosis for drug addicts showed that 90% of participants who received hypnotherapy completed treatment, with 100% remaining drug-free after six months and 78% maintaining sobriety after two years.
Take Control of Your Life
Addiction doesn’t have to dictate your future. With the support of Peacock Therapies, you can reprogram your unconscious mind to respond differently to triggers and cravings. My personalised hypnosis sessions are designed to empower you on your journey to recovery. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength. At Peacock Therapies, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Take the first step towards a healthier, addiction-free life today.
Disclaimer: Mind-altering substances can affect the way hypnosis works, so it is important that you are alcohol or drug free for at least 48hrs before your appointment. If you are unable to do this without serious physical symptoms you may be classed as dependent. Hypnosis can still be useful, but treatment would be undertaken in conjunction with your medical team to minimise withdrawal effects.
