If you are committed to controlling a compulsion to gamble, therapeutic support with hypnosis to manage a gambling addiction is available at The Conway Practice in Brighton and Harley Street, or remotely with Jonathan Conway.* Unlike other addictive behaviours such as an alcohol dependence, gambling can often be hidden from family members, friends and colleagues for a considerable time due to the absence of visible physical signs. This is until the habit seriously impacts on financial issues, leading to debts, and the inability to sustain a stable home and work life. Hypnotherapy is a holistic process which explores and identifies the subconscious triggers related to your overwhelming need to gamble, and goes beyond the desire for monetary gain.*
However, as you may well have found, hiding compulsive gambling can cause significant emotional strain, including anxiety, guilt, shame and isolation. Hypnotherapy to manage a gambling addiction will help you to recognise the signs, and enable you to create an environment where you feels safe to speak honestly, and this can be the first steps towards recovery.* While gambling in the past was generally limited to race-tracks, betting shops, casinos, or fruit machines, with online gambling this becomes much easier and instant by a mobile phone or computer at any time of the day or night, and the immediate adrenalin rush makes it more difficult to resist.
While you are in the deeply relaxed state of hypnosis, Jonathan will gently guide you to recognise the origin of your gambling compulsion.* There are several emotional issues that can trigger the addiction, and these are frequently related to stress, work or family pressures, and gambling can provide a temporary relief as a way of briefly escaping from the burden of responsibilities.
During hypnotherapy, new coping mechanisms can be introduced, including distraction and relaxation techniques.* Positive affirmations will enable you to appreciate a life without gambling, and give you back control.* The hypnotherapy sessions with Jonathan will be non-judgemental, and strictly confidential.
Jonathan Conway has more than 30 years of professional experience as a highly qualified Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner and NLP Coach. Call today to start your new journey of recovery.
