ADDICTIONS

Addictions can be defined as conditions that result when a person ingests a substance (e.g alcohol, cocaine, nicotine) or engages in an activity (e.g. gambling, shopping, sex) that can be pleasurable initially, but then becomes compulsive and interferes with ordinary responsibilities, such as work, relationships or health.

Hypnotherapy - in conjunction with counseling - can provide a valuable treatment methodology for dealing with addictions.

ANXIETY

Anxiety is a general term for disorders that cause nervousness, fear, apprehension and worry. These disorders affect how we feel and behave, and can manifest with real physical symptoms. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling, while severe anxiety can be extremely debilitating and have a serious impact on daily life.

Hypnotherapy, with its emphasis on relaxation and alleviation of phobias, can provide a solution or adjunctive treatment to many conditions involving anxiety.

PHOBIAS

A phobia is an anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation that the person with the phobia will go to great lengths to avoid. Phobias are typically disproportional to the actual danger.

If you cannot avoid the circumstance entirely, you will endure it, but with marked distress and significant interference in your general activities. Hypnotherapy is an effective method, or adjunct, to the treatment of many phobias.

PERFORMANCE ANXIETY

Performance anxiety is the anxiety, fear, or persistent phobia aroused by the requirement to perform in front of an audience, whether actually or potentially (for example, when performing before a camera). It can have numerous manifestations, including: fluttering or pounding heart, tremor in the hands and legs, sweaty hands, facial nerve tics, dry mouth, and dizziness.

Hypnotherapy can be an immensely useful treatment for performance anxiety.

PAST TRAUMA

Hypnosis can bring about significant reductions in: the rating of pain, the need for analgesics or sedation, and nausea and vomiting. Hypnosis has also been associated with a better overall outcome after medical treatment and greater physiological stability.

Surgeons and other health providers have reported significantly higher degrees of satisfaction with their patients treated with hypnosis than with their other patients.
