Hypnotherapy is effective for helping when you gamble in a way that is a problem. Hypnosis techniques can help you by creating a freedom from the compulsive behaviour, and addressing any underlying issues – whether that be self-esteem, boredom, escape, or any other thing. Using hypnotherapy, these changes will usually occur quite rapidly. People cite different reasons for needing to gamble. For some, it is the thrill, others do it for the sense of worth they get when they win. Most people don’t remember when gambling became a problem, let alone why. The good thing is that you can change your behaviour, and regain the control you seek. Having left behind the habit of gambling, many people report a greater sense of security and self-confidence.
Gambling can have big ramifications for people’s lives, and can be especially difficult for family members. It’s not uncommon for it to be a family member of a person who gambles to reach out to us first.
