You might not be looking at what’s in front of you but what your mind shows you!
When someone is struggling with alcoholism, they feel like they are trapped in a never-ending cycle of drinking.
Every time you turn to alcohol, your mind is associated with certain feelings. You feel rewarded, relaxed, happy, more social and confident, and more open when you drink. So, you are teaching the mind that you need alcohol because you need these feelings.
Alcohol addiction can alter feelings and increase cravings, making many easily dependent on it.
There are always reasons (both conscious & subconscious reasons) that keep a person overdrinking. For example:
- Using alcohol to block out or numb uncomfortable emotions
- Without drinking, one has a perception that they can’t be a fun person anymore. However, this is just a perception; once this belief is challenged, you will no longer need to rely on alcohol.
- One may have been using alcohol to forget after their loved one passed away.
- In denial of drinking is a problem.
- Numbing with alcohol to escape from other problems
When someone tries to stop drinking, withdrawal symptoms can be incredibly uncomfortable and even perilous. That’s where hypnotherapy for drinking can help.
Hypnotherapy for drinking can help rewire the brain by breaking the conditioned habit, breaking the cycle of addiction, and especially disassociating the feelings of how you attach to alcohol. So you don’t have to go through the withdrawal process and don’t have any desire to drink excessively anymore.
