Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy Nottingham - 7 Factors That Create Success

When our clients think of hypnosis they immediately think about quit smoking one of the more popular hypnotherapy treatments there is. They have a vision that they will arrive at our clinic sit in a chair have a short session of hypnosis which delivers positive suggestions and the problem will be gone. The truth however is that our Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy Nottingham is much more complex as we want to get long lasting results rather than stabbing in the dark with our work.

So what do we do that might be different from a typical hypnotherapist. Well firstly we spend some time taking a lengthy assessment from our client so we can understand what may be going on. Each client we see may have very different drivers and motivations for their smoking habit and creating a unique treatment plan for them is essential if we are to get results. Here are just some of the most popular things that we need to consider if we want success from our client.

Peer Pressure - Most of our clients start smoking when they are relatively young. Usually between the ages of 14 to 18 at a time when they are more likely to listen to or follow what their peers are doing. So if a couple of friends are smoking then they may experiment as well. The problem is that this smoking habit now makes them part of a gang and is linked in with friendship. A subconscious belief starts that if they don't smoke then they are no longer joining in. Now imagine that this thought process continues as they get older. Now they feel left out if they go to the pub and they choose not to smoke with their friends outside. Or perhaps the cigarette breaks they get at work enable them to mingle not only with their peers but get inside gossip or talk to senior managers who also smoke.  It is therefore essential that a hypnotherapist works with this sort of client to change these thought processes to create positive change.

Looking Cool - As well as the peer pressure advertising especially in the 1950's ad 60's made smoking look cool. Many people still associate smoking with this even today. Now as therapists we know that smoking is no longer cool especially when you have a hacking cough and yellow fingers. As you get older the impact of the habit becomes greater as well and can even impact your appearance. If a client has started smoking because they think it is cool then it is possible to build up a negative picture under hypnosis using visualisation techniques.

Rebellion - When many people are younger they often undergo a process of not wanting to be told what to do. They want to to carve their own path and cigarettes become a part of that rebellion and a way of sticking two fingers up at authority figures such as their mother and father. As they get older they forget they don't have to answer to anyone but they still keep on smoking even though it isn't necessary. As hypnotherapists we need to remind them that they make the decisions and it is their choice to continue smoking the question is what is their motivation now they are older. Just placing this thought in their mind can start to create positive change.

Boredom - I can't even count the number of times that people have told me that they smoke because they are bored. Now when you break down this thought it makes no sense whatsoever. A cigarette takes approximately five minutes to smoke yet the boredeom they describe lasts for hours. The cigarette has solved nothing at all. Our stop smoking hypnotherapy Nottingham helps our clients to take a long hard look at their excuses and to help them find alternative ways of reacting rather than putting a cigarette to their mouth.

Addiction - Many of our clients also believe that they are addicted to cigarettes and cite nicotine cravings as a big problem. We spend time helping them to understand that in most cases it isn't the nicotine that they are craving instead it is the psychological issue of habit and association change. Put simply if you always have a cup of tea in the morning and smoke a cigarette you feel as if something is wrong if you have one without the other. We help our clients to break these habits and associations so it becomes easier to deal with.

Stress - So many people turn to cigarettes when they feel stressed. The breaks they get as part of their habit are a way of taking time out and escaping if only for a short period of time. Yet it is perfectly possible to have a break without the need to smoke. It is also easy to breathe fresh cleam air calmly without inhaling smoke. In fact cigarettes often increase stress as they higher blood pressure and heart rate.

Weight - Finally it is important to look at worries about weight and smoking especially with our female clients. There is a big belief that smoking in some way helps to keep them thin when this isn't really the case. In fact statistics show that an average smoker vs non smoker will weigh approximately 7 pounds different. Even this small weight difference can be helped with weight loss hypnosis and smoking cessation. It is relatively simple for a hypnotherapist to address this problem before it begins so that there is no need to put on any extra pounds at all.

So as you can see our Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy Nottingham is designed to create helpful change by assessing the motivations for our clients habits and then helping them to overcome their barriers to success. Of course every client is different which is why all our programs have bespoke elements to make sure that they are relevant to our clients.

Anxiety Hypnosis Lincoln - Getting Professional Help to Manage Stress

If you were not aware one of the biggest reasons why people have anxiety is because of stress. Many people tend to shrug stress off and feel guilty even talking about the problem but when it is left to grow it can have a serious impact on your well-being. Our anxiety hypnosis Lincoln is designed to take control of this problem before it starts to take control of you.Typically a build up of stress can start by making you feel on edge or as if something bad is going to happen. As the anxiety grows you may start to suffer sleep problems, feel in fear, suffer physical aches and pains and worry about your mental health. The more it progresses the more significant the problem until eventually you may suffer from anxiety attacks or depression.

Help for Anxiety In Lincoln

The problem with many remedies for anxiety is that they do not tackle the underlying cause of the problem. If you are suffering from panic attacks for example your doctor may prescribe you medication such as beta blockers to take the edge off the problem. These may or may not work because if the underlying reason for your issue is not addressed the symptoms will not necessarily go away no matter how many tablets you might take.

Our anxiety hypnosis Lincoln uses natural remedies to help with the problem. Firstly by teaching you to manage the feelings that you are experiencing and secondly to help you identify the source of the problem. Believe it or not over 70% of the clients who come to our clinics near Lincolnshire have difficultly identifying their stressors. They may guess as where their problems lie but in a good percentage of cases they probably get it wrong. This is because sometimes their anxiety reactions started because of an incident many years ago which is long forgotten. The problem is that your subconscious mind still remembers the original problem and will do everything it can to help you avoid the situation happening again in the future. The anxious feelings are its way of telling you that you are coming close to those same issues happening again.

Hypnosis in Newark - Local Therapy Help

Start to push out of your mind the image of hypnotists on TV clicking their fingers and making people go to sleep on stage. Push away the fear that a hypnotherapist can control your mind, take over your life and create some form of magic that will have a negative impact on you. The reality is that hypnosis when used as a form of therapy can make a significant difference to problems in your life. If you are thinking about Hypnosis in Newark then start to think of the therapy as a positive means to regain control of behaviours which are no helpful to you anymore.

My name is Martina McKeough and I am a professional clinical hypnotherapist with a clinic just outside Newark in Farndon Nottinghamshire. In this practice and at my clinic in Nottingham I work with clients to help them reach their full potential by achieving their goals. Usually over a series of sessions I work with people such as yourself to make significant positive changes in their life so that they can overcome habits, problems or addictions which no longer serve a useful purpose. All of this is done without any shock stage tactics but instead takes place in a calming and relaxing environment where you are in control.

What Does Our Hypnosis Clinic Treat?

We offer a huge range of services to our clients so it is difficult to name them all but here are some of the problems that we tend to encounter more frequently than others.

Weight Loss Hypnosis - Our weight loss hypnosis Newark takes place typically over three to six sessions depending on how much you need to lose. Weight loss work is usually more complex than people realise because it is tied up with habits and behaviours which have lasted for years. Food typically is used as a form of comfort in times of stress, anxiety or upset and these patterns often start in childhood. Our sessions work to unravel the problem and deal with the underlying issues.

Anxiety, Stress and Depression - Although you may only suffer from one of these problems it is not unusual to find that our clients may suffer from all three. This is because too much stress leads to anxiety and when you have experienced anxiety for too long it can make you depressed. We use hypnosis to tackle the underlying causes for your feelings as well as teach you self hypnosis so that you can practice deep relaxation in the comfort of your own home.

Addictive Behaviour - This could be smoking, gambling, drinking too much or even excessive spending. These are all distraction activities that our clients use to mask the real problem that is bothering them. We can help you to address the issues that need to be resolved as well as help boost your motivation and willpower to overcome these habits.

Confidence Hypnosis - Whether you need some short term confidence or are looking for help for longer term issues then we can help. We work with clients who need help to overcome their nerves for example for their driving test as well as clients who have suffered from a lack of confidence for years. Our confidence coaching work helps to boost your self esteem and use your inner resources to meet your long and short term goals.

As with any hypnosis practice this is just an example of what we can help with. We also use fertility hypnosis and hypnobirthing as well as IBS hypnosis, work with children, assistance with fears and phobias and pain management hypnosis.

Anxiety Help in Nottingham - What are the Alternatives?

If you are suffering from anxiety or panic disorder then generally your first port of call should be your doctor. They are the person who can make a formal diagnosis and then suggest to you what the next steps you can take with your condition. The problem is that with the current pressure on the NHS you are generally going to be offered medication first. Medication which can alleviate the problems in some people some of the time but what happens to the people that it doesn't work for? If they are lucky they may get put on the waiting list for some form of therapy but in many cases these people suffer in silence. There are however alternatives and at Balance Hypnotherapy we offer Anxiety Help in Nottingham to help you manage your condition.

How Can Anxiety Hypnosis Help with Anxiety?

There are are a number of different ways that hypnosis can help with anxiety including:

Relaxation and Stress Reduction - If you are feeling anxious then you are likely to be experiencing the feeling of being on edge all the time. There is nothing to be afraid of from this feeling. It is just the way that your subconscious is staying alert to danger. The feeling is however exhausting and can stop you sleeping and for many it can feel distressing. Our Anxiety Help in Nottingham works with you to alleviate this feeling by replacing it with one of relaxation and calm. Hypnosis is a deep state of calm relaxation and with regular practice it can significantly reduce your background levels of anxiety. We even give our clients anxiety hypnosis downloads to help them manage their problem. If you are unable to reach our clinic you can purchase them from our online shop here.

Suggestion & Positive Visualisation - Whilst you are in hypnosis you are more suggestible so during initial sessions we concentrate on giving our clients positive suggestion and ego strengthening to change their mood. We explain exactly why the client may be experiencing the anxiety and then we work on changing their perception of it so it becomes more manageable. When we combine this with our tips and strategies to take control of the problem we usually see an improvement in the way our clients feel.

Getting to the Root Cause of the Problem - In many cases our clients are totally unaware of why they may be experiencing an issue. They may be experiencing panic attacks or significant episodes of anxiety without knowing what the real problem is. Usually in our second or third sessions with a client we begin to do what we would call analytical hypnosis. This form of hypnosis gets to the root cause of the problem.

An example of this form of work may be a client who comes and explains that they have a fear of getting on an aircraft. They see the door of the plane shut and they feel they are hyperventilating and experiencing extreme panic. General suggestion hypnosis helps to a degree but does not solve the problem so we begin analytical work to determine the real reason for the problem. Suddenly our client explains how they were bullied as a child. They spent a good proportion of their life hiding or looking out for the bullies and always had an escape route planned. We suddenly understand that their mind is getting into a panic because in a plane there is nowhere to go. With some simple work to untangle their past fears it is possible for them to overcome the problem.

How Many Sessions Will I need?

We ask clients who are suffering from panic attacks or GAD to go on our four session anxiety program. There sessions take place every week to two weeks. If you have a simple fear or phobia then our clients usually attend on a session by session basis.

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Newark

Sometimes in life you have to take a totally different approach to get a positive result. I am always amazed at the number of people who have yo-yo dieted for years and found themselves back at square one or even worse heavier than before they started. Yet these same people will try the next big weight loss fad in the hope that this will be the magic bullet to help them shed the pounds. It is like banging your head against a wall because the result will always be the same. Short term weight loss through deprivation and then weight gain when the starvation diet becomes too much and you start to eat again. I find that people finally come to a hypnotherapist when they have done this for years and realise that they have to try something totally different. Our Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Newark is exactly that a very different approach to the norm because you have to do things differently in order to succeed.

So what is different about our approach to losing weight? Well firstly we never put anyone on a diet ever! Why? Because as soon as you take foods away from a person they crave them more than before. They may be able to last for a week, a month or even a year depriving themselves of their favourite foods but eventually their resolve will weaken and then they can't stop themselves from eating huge amounts of the foods that they were trying to avoid. We help our clients to take a step back and try a different approach which is helping our clients to understand when they are hungry and when they are full. Signals that many people now simply ignore.

Understanding when you are hungry is half the battle as it means you are no longer eating out of habit but listening to the signals that your body is giving you. When we eat and are distracted by other activities it can be difficult to pick up on what you body is trying to tell you. Our Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Newark helps you to take time out so that you really pick up on those signals. In order to help you with this we teach all our clients mindful eating techniques. What is great about this method is that it means you can still eat the foods that you would normally eat but in moderation as the portion sizes tend to be significantly reduced.

Another element of our weight loss hypnosis is that we also work to identify any emotional eating which can also be sabotaging your efforts. Many people call themselves greedy because of their poor eating habits but often they are eating because of an emotional issue. For example they feel stressed and when they eat sugary foods it helps them to take time out and enter a bubble of relaxation where they think of nothing else but the food they are eating. We help our clients to identify their emotional eating triggers and then help them to find a new positive way of dealing with the problem without using food.

Of course our weight loss hypnosis also uses the power of suggestion to help bring about change. Repeated suggestions given to the subconscious for change can have a powerful impact on the way in which someone eats. In fact our biggest weight loss loser which shed well over ten stone did this through suggestion hypnosis only. We even give our clients a weight loss audio to listen to inbetween the sessions to reinforce the suggestions. If this is listened to regularly it can help created positive change.

Our Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Newark can be used to help with Binge Eating, Sugar and Chocolate addiction and emotional and comfort eating. For full details of our programs simply call us on 01636 650521 for a free telephone consultation.
