What Problems Can Hypnotherapy Help With?

Hypnotherapy helps you reprogramme your subconscious. All of us have times when there is something about us that is not right, things where our brain seems out of our control. This is just our subconscious getting things wrong.

Hypnotherapy can help you get back in control of the things that don’t seem right. When your subconscious gets things wrong, it can force you to feel or do or think things that you would prefer not to.

Here are some of the things that hypnotherapy can help with:

Unwanted Negative Feelings

We sometimes have negative feelings that are far more than the usual ups and downs of the day. For example:

  • Having anxiety or dread most or all of the time
  • Extreme sadness (depression)
  • Uncontrolled anger
  • Jealousy
  • Fear of something irrational (phobias)
  • Lack of confidence
  • Panic attacks
  • A feeling of being overwhelmed by everything
  • Lack of motivation to do things

Getting Over Something Traumatic

When something traumatic happens in your life, hypnotherapy can help you come to terms with it quicker than if you had to do it on your own. For example:

  • Someone close passing away
  • Being involved in, or just watching a major accident
  • Finding out your partner has been cheating on you
  • Break up of a long-term relationship
  • Being a victim of violence

Not Being In Charge Of Your Thoughts

There are times for all of us when we are not entirely in charge of our own thoughts. When taken to the extreme, this can become overwhelming. For example:

  • A voice in your head constantly criticising you
  • Constantly thinking about all the things you have to do
  • You keep thinking about all the things that could go wrong (catastrophising)
  • Embarrassment about something you did that you keep thinking about

Doing Something That You Can’t Control

So many people have eaten something or done something automatically and then thought, “I shouldn’t really have done that.” When you keep doing this and can’t stop that it becomes a problem. For example:

  • Smoking
  • Uncontrolled drinking
  • Uncontrolled drug taking
  • Self-harm
  • Binge eating
  • Skin picking
  • Pulling out your hair
  • Compulsive behaviours

Avoiding Something That Would Be Good

Because of an overwhelming feeling of dread, you might find yourself avoiding doing things that you would enjoy or would be useful to you. For example:

  • Avoiding flying to go on holiday
  • Avoiding going out
  • Avoiding driving on motorways
  • Avoiding going to social occasions
  • Avoiding using the Internet

Physical Symptoms That Get You Down

There are some physical symptoms that seem to get worse with stress. Hypnotherapy cannot help you alleviate or cope with them better. For example:

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Migraines
  • Symptoms of peri-menopause or the monthly hormonal cycle

How Can Hypnotherapy Help?

Hypnotherapy is all about allowing the subconscious to shift its perspective towards a more positive future, a future where you are more in control and can lead a normal life.
