Treatment for addictions with hypnotherapy in Kent - Herne Bay

Addiction means dependency, something that a person cannot live without, and the most common addictions are alcohol or drugs.

People often talk about being addicted to cigarettes, chocolate (‘chocoholics’), or even gambling but these are compulsive activities; smoking and eating to excess are compulsive oral habits but they are not addictions in the true sense of the word.

When alcoholics and people addicted to drugs, it in generally accepted that the more they use, the more they need. The body gets used to larger doses when lesser doses have no effect and this leads to the need of larger and more frequent amounts to achieve the same effects.   They end up being totally dependent upon them because they can’t live without them.  

Drug abusers and, sometimes, alcoholics, need carefully monitored medical help to wean themselves from their addictions, whereas the ‘chocoholics’ mentioned above, smokers, gamblers, etc need to use their willpower to rid themselves of their compulsive habits.

Pure Hypnoanalysis (analytical therapy) is a very effective therapy because it helps addicts to explore the underlying cause of their addiction. 

People turn to drugs and alcohol for a variety of reasons; some do it due to peer pressure, whereas with others it’s a means of blotting out matters they find difficulty facing up to.
