Our qualified hypnotherapists at Make It Happen Hypnotherapy will look at the psychological aspects of the gambling addiction problem, i.e. identify the patterns of distress, cognitive distortions, and negative core beliefs. You will be asked to think about: What gambling means to you? How do you feel about it? What it represents for you? How did you start? What do you use gambling for in the past? And why do you continue to gamble?
Through our hypnotherapy for gambling addiction, we will take you back into the past and identify the reasons why you started gambling in the first place. Whether it was due to the desire to win or be an adult, peer pressure, the need to fit in, the desire to be a rebel, numbing your feelings for staying away from distress, or any other thing. Once our hypnotherapists find out the root cause when you started gambling and understand the circumstances during that time of your life, they will reframe your thought patterns about gambling. This will help you to change your perception of gambling addiction at the subconscious level.
It is also important to explore how you view yourself. Usually, the problem isn’t how to stop gambling pokies, but it is how you think about yourself. If you played pokies wanting to fit in or be cool in the first place, our hypnotherapists would need to work on self-worth. If you played pokies wanting to win and be rich in the first place, they need to work on changing your limiting belief around gambling at the subconscious level.
During the face-to-face or online hypnotherapy for gambling addiction sessions, we will strengthen your belief that you can stop gambling forever. By removing any fear at the back of your mind, you will be a 100% non-gambler. Since you like to be honest with yourself and your loved ones, you can easily win back your integrity.
Hypnotherapy for gambling addiction when combined with Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (E-CBT), effectively recognizes and addresses the triggers of gambling and works on them to prevent future relapses.
