Breaking Bad Habits

Breaking Bad Habits

A habit can be described as a learned response. Therefore any response that is developed through repetition can be described as habitual. Over time the habitual response developed in the conscious awareness eventually becomes a response of the subconscious. If the habits that concern us, such as nail biting, overeating or smoking are learned responses, then it must follow that they can be unlearned and that new responses to the stimuli can be introduced. The new responses introduced, if repeated, will eventually become the learned response and will therefore form a new habit.  Whether you're looking to stop smoking, change eating habits or stop another habit that you feel it's time to let go of, Hypnotherapy is an effective tool for accessing the subconscious. 


Stop Smoking  

Maybe you've tried several times before, only to pick it up again. It may seem too hard or you feel you just can't do it. You may feel that smoking is helping you because of the illusion of relaxation that is created when the discomfort, that is the craving for nicotine, is temporarily relieved by tobacco consumption. The truth is that more harm than good is being done. And you know that. What you need is the confidence to be able to move away from the habit and learn other ways to get that same relief and feeling of relaxation. 


If you really do want to quit and it's not because you're being pressured by someone else, it can be easier than you think. Hypnotherapy has the reputation of being the best therapeutic help for smoking cessation available, with an excellent success rate.


Change Eating Habits

My approach to changing your eating habits, whether its to lose weight or feel more energised, does not involve following a specific or rigid diet. In all probability, you will have tried most of the diets that are out there. My approach is about a creating a basis on which you take control of your own eating habits and the responsibility for your own health and well being. 


First you have to address your eating habits and be honest with yourself. When do you eat, where do you eat and how do you eat? Do you chew your food thoroughly, savouring each mouthful, or make a race of it, cramming in as much as possible in a short time? Do you eat on the run? Do you reward yourself with food? Do you eat to reduce stress or difficult emotions? Do you eat snacks between your main meals? It's important to really understand how we eat. Using Hypnotherapy we address the entrenched habits and begin to make changes, building on motivation and emphasising all the benefits you will feel and experience once you're on the road to a healthier version of you. 


Hypnotherapy can also help with:   Hair Pulling, Skin Picking, Nail Biting, Excessive Drinking and many more.
