Making a change, and maintaining the change, is a difficult thing to master. Old habits die hard and well, we find comfort in routine. But when a habit or fear is holding you back, change is a good thing. In fact, it can change your life.
If there’s something you’re struggling with, whether it’s anxiety, a phobia, a habit or addiction, make this year the year you overcome it.
Hypnotherapy is one option, and is thought to be effective in treating a number of issues. Below, we look at five common issues hypnotherapy can help with, and how it can promote change for the better.
All of us will have felt anxious at some point. While when under stress or pressure, a little anxiety is common, an anxiety disorder is very different. Fear may takeover – the person perhaps avoiding certain situations and missing out on opportunities – all to stay safe.
Hypnotherapy can be very effective in managing anxiety. Hypnotherapy for anxiety can help boost confidence and self-belief, as well as help manage feelings of fear and worry. Using the power of suggestion, hypnotherapy can begin to teach you how to regain a sense of control and normality in your life.
The therapy can help you to identify potential triggers, and learn how to manage them. No longer will you live in fear – you will feel confident in your ability to cope, and know what to do if the feelings return.
One of the most common phobias, fear of flying understandably can affect your life. Yes, flying is one of the safest ways to travel, but flight anxiety can be crippling. While the level of distress experienced will vary from person to person, it can often interfere with personal holidays, or even affect career choices, if business travel is a necessity.
Hypnotherapy can help by connecting with the subconscious. By changing the negative thoughts and behaviours associated with flying to a more positive experience, you can regain control.
Fear of flying is a learnt fear, meaning it may have stemmed from childhood or after a bad experience. Because of this, it’s good to know what triggers your fear and why. Once you recognise the triggers, together with your hypnotherapist, you can learn ways to manage your feelings and learn how to cope.
While the thought of speaking in front of a big crowd will make most of us a little nervous, for some, this fear is even more intense. Fear of public speaking is common, and it’s on the rise.
Simply put, we spend a lot less time speaking in front of people. The times when we do, it’s often by force – whether at school or work – and because the situations are so few and far between, the fear remains the same.
In some cases, fear of public speaking can develop into glossophobia. This phobia comes from a fear of being judged. This, combined with doubts over your ability, can be overwhelming.
Hypnotherapy can be effective in treating phobias, as they’re not easy to control consciously. It works with your unconscious to understand where the root of the anxiety comes from. Hypnosis helps to identify the cause, and through tailored suggestion techniques, you can learn to manage the anxiety, overcoming the fear.
There are many areas in which hypnotherapy is thought to be effective. If something is holding you back, or you’re finding it hard to break a habit with willpower alone, hypnotherapy might be the option for you. Change isn’t easy, but trust us, you can do it.

When the new year rolls around, so many of us sit down to decide what it is we really want to achieve in the next 12 months.
While we always have good intentions behind us, after a few months the novelty of the new year wears off and many of us revert back to old habits. If this is the year you really want to make lasting change, it may be time for you to consider getting a little extra help. And for many, hypnotherapy is the answer.
Here are some common New Year’s resolutions and how support from a hypnotherapist could help you finally keep them!
“I want to change my diet”
Eating habits can be very difficult to break. The way we eat can be ingrained from childhood, leading to some people turning to food as a source of comfort. If you have tried and failed to change your eating habits in the past, you may want to look at your relationship with food and see if hypnotherapy can help.
From virtual gastric bands to suggestion therapy, hypnotherapy can give you that extra push to change your thought patterns and rekindle a positive relationship with food.
“I want to cut down/stop drinking alcohol”
January is the month many of us feel a little worse for wear after the festivities of Christmas. With parties and social occasions galore, Christmas often sees us drinking more than usual. If you’re keen to cut down on the amount you drink or even stop drinking altogether, seeing a hypnotherapist might help.
A hypnotherapist can use suggestion techniques to help alter thought patterns that may lead to you drinking. This can act as a reinforcement to your willpower and may prove to be the extra support you need to change your drinking habits for good.
“I want to quit smoking”
Quitting smoking is tough, but the benefits to your health are undeniable. There are many approaches you can take to kick the habit, including nicotine replacement therapies and good old willpower. If it’s something you have struggled to do in the past, just a single stop-smoking hypnotherapy session could help.
Hypnotherapy is natural and safe, so you really have nothing to lose!
“I want to stress less”
Stress damages both our mental and physical health over time. Embracing self-care and making time for relaxation should be on everyone’s resolution list in our eyes. If you know you’re prone to stress, you may want to explore how hypnotherapy can help.
Your hypnotherapist can show you relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques so you can continue what you learn in your session at home.
