The Psychology Behind Gambling Addiction: Discover The Personality Profiles Most At Risk & 3 Hypnosis Techniques That Can Help (https://hypnosistrainingacademy.com/overcome-gambling-addiction-using-hypnosis/)

This is not a question that can just be answered. The client also need to ask the specialist or therapist about what is needed to be done for people that want to undergo hypnosis. According to Oxford, this is what I found about it online:


How is the person going to apparently lose power of voluntary action? Through drug or what? Or just through psychotherapy? If drug is involved, how safe it is to health?

I have been addicted before in gambling. What I noticed was that I have no way of earning and that makes me to depend on gambling. But gambling thought me lesson to never see gambling as a way of making money.

I've heard about hypnosis and I'm not sure how good it have got proven data. Based on my understanding about gambling, rehabilitation centres and other forms of de-addiction cannot help a person get out of addiction if his mind isn't ready for it. One can get out of gambling by his own, he himself is the only hope to deviate his activities away from gambling.

Cure gambling, maybe this will serve as a big business as the gambling industry grows but and big through every passing year. Keeping the future in mind more and more techniques gets innovated by professionals and medication experts.

My first question to myself. How did I end up there?
Curing a gambling addiction doesn't need special powers, it's about how someone could control it and be disciplined to stop it eventually.
For instance, I did stop smoking which means it's all just in my head. But, there's a root of why I stopped, it's for the kids. I don't like the idea of them always smelling me like I am from the burning fireplace or worst. They are young, second-hand smoke is not good for their health.
When it comes to gambling, money is on the line.
I would not my kids to be unable to enjoy the perks of being a kid so I don't do much gambling and I always withdraw when I see profits to give them the fun of playing games that need to be paid.
We don't really need those type of cure, all we need is discipline and embrace the fact that we are addicted to gambling so we can change it.

You'll not wanna be unaware of whats going on while waking around the city and back home but you forget gambling I guess thats what would happen. How long is the hypnotism going to work?

This is really a scary solution and you should be afraid if you own coins, the psycho might as something and unconsciously answer your 12 word seed.

Well I don't think its easy for one to free himself from a gambling addiction because this whole gambling addiction thing is like a spirit that is hard to let go and I don't think I have come or heard about the method of hypnosis as a means of cure but I have no doubt that it will be an effective way to cure such addictions. And yes like you said the industry is no doubt very huge and growing more and more every and same as the numbers of addicted gambling so starting up a business to treat this particular illness of addiction will be welcome as a good move to also help the community and also make funds.

Hypnosis effect usually doesn't have a long duration like amnesia so ypu should not worry about forgetting everything when you go home because that's not how it work. Hypnosis is use as therapy to give a gambling addict a time without thinking gambling since compulsive gambler always think about gambling most of the time.

This therapy have a lot of session and having a few hours a day away from gambling will improve someones mind to not focus on gambling and finally get back in-charge on his addicted mind.

Why not? I mean if you are under a professional then there's nothing to be afraid of or something specially if you will be assured that you can be cured through hypnosis and who knows it could really be good for you in the long run.

It might controversial for some though, as the hypnotist might put some into your brain and most likely this will be the point of contention for us gamblers or even non gamblers who are thinking of getting under this non conventional method of curing our addiction whether gambling or other vices.

Don't they charge a lot for their time? I know it's not that easy to become a really good and professional hypnotist so their sessions don't come cheap also. I don't know how a gambling addict could still afford that. If I am in that situation and I have enough money then why not? I believe it's an effective method.

Hmm, I will say no, I don't know what will be the implications of this kind of therapy if done to myself. It's different when you have to fight it out yourself, as compare to some medical professional playing with your brains?

The side-effects might be slim and rare, but still though there is that small chance. So if I admitted that I have gambling addictions in the beginning, then maybe there are other methods to control or even stop it without me going into this tool to treat my gambling addiction, just saying.

Plus, it could be expensive?

Well if you're already a gambling addiction then for sure you have spend a lot of money and losing big already? So perhaps what they charge per session might just be a drop of what you have lost. And so that could be one justification on your part, that you are willing to pay these professionals expensive money today so that it will cut your lose.

I think this tool can be tap or used by those individuals who are really addicted. I mean those individuals who are out of control already and this is the only help they can get to get tap on that consciousness and curb the root cause and stop it right away.

if it is the only option left for me to cure my addiction, why not? if i do want to try all possible routes to stop my addiction, i guess, i will also opt to this path if it will influence my overall decision in life. though, i haven't seen or heard anyone close to me to have such kind of cure, i am opening myself to this kind of therapy. because if you are out of options already, you would want to try an unconventional route to see its impact on your life.

According to the information, hypnosis is one of the most effective way of treating gambling addiction since it tampers one persons mind/memory.  Now I wonder about the longevity of the effect of hypnosis.  So I have a couple of question in mind like, how could it really treat addiction when it tampers a person's brain.  How sure is the process that the injected mood will last.  We all know artificial settings won't function as good as normal ways of treating gambling addiction.  I am also hesitant to undergo hypnosis because of the possible side effects that may affect the way I think.


So this is like putting our mind in sleep mode and insert images artificially in order for the patient to not think about gambling addiction.  I don't know how effective it is when the the effect of hypnosis subsided,  doesn't the victim think of gambling again the moment they come into their senses?

Hypnosis is like delaying things and since it is a long therapy,  it really seems effective because the gambler will not think of gambling as long as they are under the effect of hypnosis .  Aside from that, I read that the research on hypnosis is rather small  so I think it needs more research to confirm things.

It is obvious that gambling addict who are under hypnosis will not have gambling urges, so I wonder what happen after the effect subsided.  So I'd rather choose other form of treatment than hypnosis.

If you're asking me then I personally doubt there is someone complaining about his gambling addiction while he's winning. The fact that he is seeking help means something must be wrong with his finances right?

That's most likely the case but the question remains. Who among the gambling addicts could still pay for these sessions? Maybe there are only 10% or less. Probably those who still have a stable job or source of income.

While I think hypnosis can actually work, it feels like a short cut that tends not to address the underlying reason that somebody chooses to gamble (usually to excess). You might have this sort of 'treatment' but still be stuck in some sort of depression that caused you to turn to betting, or any number of other reasons. Often if you can just willfully break the cycle for a few weeks, you can overcome whatever problem addiction you have - like smoking for example. People talk about the chemical side but it's often habitual later on the addiction so you need to find other activities that will fill your time instead.

I'd actually like to experience hypnosis because I'm one of those people (and there's a lot of us) who doubt they can be hypnotized.
This is one of the things I'd like to try, so I have it somewhere on my to do list. I'm not an addict, to be clear. I just want to see if it works.
I wouldn't do it alone in case it worked. It's better to have someone with you who will make sure you're not being turned into a slave or something :D

There are many options left for you. The most effective one would be for you to realise yourself that gambling is not helping and a need to stop the addiction or to just quit gambling.

When a gambler see himself addicted and wants a way out, that means he has discovered that he has to stop which is the first step to stop gambling addiction.

But what is most important is the root. I mean what that led to the person to be addicted. If someone is getting bored and using gambling to make use of the time, you can get yourself some other things to do like going out with friends and your girlfriend or your wife. The root of the addiction needs to be solved too.

I read about hypnotherapy and I was happy that it doesn't include the use of drugs, chemicals, or other medicines. It just deals with using pictures and repeating words to alter the interest or focus of an individual. The negative effect of gambling addiction is huge. It has led to financial problems, divorce, crime, and even death. If I am a gambling addict and I consider it a good option, I will gladly submit myself to hypnosis. I have heard also heard that most cult groups use the same means to indoctrinate theirs so that they can be easily manipulated and controlled. Just recently there was a news from Kenya, where people were hypnotized to starve to death because they want to go to heaven. So I will have to do a thorough check on the health facility before I will subject myself to their medical process. I don't want "jump from frying pan to fire".           

I think it is not only the way to make things work there are other way for professionals to help people to treat compulsive gambling such as CBT and meds, but these are under Psychiatrist not with just Physician so it will cost a lot more since when it is comes treating some mental health related issues it will always comes with expensive meds and therapy.

It is always good to test yourself with anything that can help alleviate this type of problem, if hypnosis is the solution for this, then welcome, because it enters very elementary parts of the brain and yes , it may be that they manipulate an opco subconscious so that it can be of help to those people who have this very difficult problem, this can also apply to people who have a defined type of Responsibility and that it does not affect their well-being much , the idea is that it cures completely but that do not cause trauma with other things.

addiction is a mental illness, as it is not something physical so it also makes sense to seek help from a specialist in hypnoze, but we need to have real data on how many addicted people underwent treatment with hypnoze and were completely cured and what was the cost of this treatment and How long does this treatment last for us to know if this is an effective treatment method or is it another way that some people have managed to earn money at the expense of gambling addicts, because unfortunately in this world people do not have good character and feelings. I would not be at all surprised to hear that this method of hypnosis does not work or is not a guaranteed method.

being addicted to gambling is the same thing that happens with any addiction that the most basic for healing is the prolonged distance from the thing that this person does, for example if a person is addicted to gambling, then that person will need to stay year or years away from anything related to gambling, this is the first big step towards curing any addiction, so when you see things like hypnosis, trauma healing, you soon know that they are methods used by people who want to make money at the expense of others. addicts, most of the time these hippo guys charge high prices for each session and they won't even solve the problem

these guys are smart, they soon put a disclaimer and that they do not guarantee that the patient will be 100% cured, so even if the person pays a lot of money and does not heal, they cannot sue, people should go to the hospital that has psychologists there and refer the patient to clinics where the patient will be hospitalized for treatment

I have chosen on the Poll: Maybe

We should really be that minding that on the time that you are already preferring or accepting professional help or seeking out this kind of service or treatment then you are really that serious or accepting that
you would really be needing to get rid of that addiction which if you do hear out on whatever type or kind of way for treating addiction then you would surely be surely be agreeing on whatever it would be.
It is really just that unusual method or way since its not really that been heard off because if we do speak about addiction treatment then this is mostly via doing those counselling and talking
on what are the things that you should do and donts which is a common approach.

On this case, if you do see that this would really be a possible solution with your pesky problem then you wouldnt really be having those second thoughts and would really be agreeing directly.

Uhhh, gambling addiction is really a strong bond of feeling which is somehow impossible to overcome except you've got a good will to desist from doing something, then you can.
I've been seeing people getting therapeutic treatments ( cus that's actually a treatment) and, nothing really happens about the goddamm addiction - in some people's case, it's different too....it all depends on how you embraced the will to gamble hard.
I think conducting a therapy would help cus humans tend to listen to some other paid humans - with goods grades from some academy and a white verse - especially when it's about Thier health or a social offense.

I'm not certain about the best option, but I believe there might be a connection between hypnosis and meditation. If hypnosis can enhance focus without any negative effects on mental health, I would recommend considering it. Personally, I wouldn't want to be consumed by gambling or any addiction, as it becomes difficult for people with it to help themselves in such situations and it can become a challenge for families to support and uplift someone struggling with addiction. If hypnosis can serve as a great solution to revive people from the depths of addiction, I would welcome the idea of using it to assist those dealing with gambling addictions.

Dependence on gambling as a source of income is one issue that have contributed greatly to the numbers of gambling addiction in the society.  The feeling of joblessness can bore you so well that you blindly accept the deception that gambling can be a way out of your financial misery whereas it does only compound your penury the more.

I haven't done a research about this though, but I sense that the most successful gamblers are ain't those that took or saw gambling as a source of income or earnings but it's rather those that understands that it's just an activity for fun with a little spice of seriousness based on the money attached.

If every gambler could inbibe this idea about gambling then there would be rare cases of gambling addictions.

I know I am capable of quitting gambling through my self will.I was addicted until late 2020 and if somebody would have told me to find some one to do hypnosis to me to save me from gambling addiction I would definitely have said no.First reason is I don't believe at all at this bullsh*t while I know that there are a lot of superstitious people in the world and many of them would have accepted.I also agree that people who are hopeless and have not a so strong self will would most likely accept to try this kind of thing which as I said I don't believe it will do any good,professional help through medicine is the best for extreme cases.

The question is how long does this hypnotic effect last in one session for consultation or in one treatment, how powerful and effective is this method applied to cure patients who have addictive tendencies. then, have there been any scientific studies on alternative methods like this.

Nevertheless, I believe that if someone wants to be free from addiction, regardless of its kind. the first thing they must have is, intention and determination. whatever the method, it depends on a person who wants to get rid of his dependence on addiction. without intention and determination, the beginning of the end, he will return to his old habits. So, actually we are not fixated on just one method of healing for patients with addiction disorders. whatever it is, if it has the potential to reduce it a little or even eliminate it altogether. all addicts, can use any method. most importantly, not to hurt the addict himself.

IMO, the problem of gambling addiction is not as extreme as other addictions. I mean, when we don't have any money to gamble. there is no other way, but to stop by yourself. maybe in some cases, someone sells his property or valuables to fulfill his desires. however, for other addictions such as drugs for example. I think, more extreme than gambling addiction. because, when they don't consume it their bodies experience symptoms that torment the sufferer.
By the way, what you said in this thread might help some cases of addicted gamblers. however, as far as I know, each addict will need a different method of healing.

Yes. Assuming I am the client who is struggling with compulsive gambling, if I seek for help and my therapist who has been unsuccessful after trying every technique in the book to help me quit suggest that hypnosis is the last resort, I'll gladly accept as long as there would be no harm to me psychology, physical and otherwise. And I trust his judgement because he's  a trained professional. I'd do anything to overcome compulsive gambling knowing the damage it has cost me already.

I don't want to be on something that will manipulate my mind if I want to quit gambling it should be by my own conscious will not something that is beyond my conscious will I will exhaust every possible means first before I undergo hypnosis it will be my last resort of cure to my addiction and based on my experience there are some programs that will allow you to be cured naturally without undergoing hypnosis.

I think hypnotic therapy is a thing even from way back then. It's a real thing and the body can really be induced subconsciously by means of sleep. It's just that the media severely tarnished the craft by involving it and colluding it with the supernatural, sometimes even connecting it with past life regressions so you can see your ancestors or who you were before you became you. Although I myself judge the credibility of such therapy only because I am really a "to see is to believe" kind of guy, but if given the chance to involve myself with such recovery methods, I will mostly for the hell of it, just to see what it's all about. and if in the event it did not work, and I'm still addicted, at least I tried it you know!

if i am a gambling addict then i am willing to be hypnotized ^{(to get rid of my gambling habit)}, i support hypnosis for gamblers, its use is to prevent more and more victims from gambling.  in some countries, many underage children who are still in school become gambling addicts and to boost their learning demand, boost their confidence, and improve focus/concentration is to do hypnosis. 

Why not if its something that will fast-track my healing, professionals will not recommend something that will harm their patient it's backed by science and recommended by the medical community, but I want one of my relatives besides me if possible while the session is ongoing so I can be assured what's the professional is putting in my mind not that I don't trust them but I want to know how my mind reacts.

Would like to say the same thing on which im really that sure that i dont really need any help whether it do came from my family or would really be coming from professionals or something because it is really just

that waste of money actually if you could actually able to find yourself do able to quit up without having these kind of helps. It all matters with your own self realization on which it would really be done if you are really that eager or serious on quitting gambling for good.Somewhat there are ones who are really that too weak or really that not stable when it comes into their decisions in life on which it do
really cause up for making things even more worst overtime. If you do find out to be that relevant on seeking out this kind of professional help then its your choice and its on your own expense.
This is why its always been that important that you should really be that mindful and sensible about dealing up with gambling because once you do get addicted then
it is really hard to get out.

Hypnosis up to now is not a 100% exact science. There are some evidences that it works, although there are still a lot of evidence against it. It still isn't a clearly defined method in psychology although a lot of practitioners are starting to integrate it on some of their practice. If it is already something that is proven effective and recognized in the scientific community, I'd gladly sign up if it means that I'll be receiving help for my addiction. It may not be a 100% cure, but it's a step towards the right direction, at least.

Hypnotherapy works with people who have problems with anxiety, depressions, fears, and pain. I also have heard it can treat something like cigarette addiction where when you're done with the hypnotherapy session your mind will stop recognizing cigarette as a part of your daily life routine. It's really interesting to see whether or not it really works. A professional who performs this kind of job needs to careful how he handles is client as they will be touching a person's mind and alter it's current state.
I myself would love to try it If I'm going to be addicted with gambling, but would also love to try this therapy to try and cure my anxieties.

No, because I don't believe in that thing called hypnosis but not sure it's exist or not while myself don't believe in that thing we can understand things better when we are unconscious/sleep state.

I would prefer the rehab which is the actual treatment can be effective on someone who is addicted to anything still the catch is there which is the person himself has to realise letting it go should be good for them or else even after rehabilitation the can go to the state where they are before.

Some said its true and some said its not and here's some vid about hypnosis.

On my own personal opinion on which i dont really believe much that it could really help out that cures gambling addiction.
It is really something a problem which you are the only ones who could resolve it and no other than.

Curing gambling would be starting on yourself because if you are really not serious on quitting gambling then you would really be addicted and you would
only be stopping when you dont have anymore money on your pocket to play on. This is the sad reality.

I would try it, to be honest.
I would not have very big expectations on it because I am skeptical on those kinds of treatments but if I was very in the need of some actual help with few options left, then I would go for it.
As long as it is not blatant quackery, it is okey to me.

If It worked, I would also try to visit the same professional so they could do something about anxiety or even improvement in money management.  :P

If I really wanted to get rid of it, I could try. I am not a gambler, but I think and answer like a gambler. There's no harm in trying. If someone had tried this method before and was successful, I would definitely give it a try. I wouldn't run away from anything that would benefit me. If it's just a scam then I'd be mad at myself for being duped.

So my answer is: yes

I wouldn't say no, but it would be my last resort in dealing with my addiction because there are other solutions available, and it's better to try them first than to head straight away with hypnosis. If other gamblers successfully cured their gambling addiction with that solution, then it's worth a try later on because we don't have many solutions to deal with gambling addiction. And maybe that one solution we haven't tried could be the most effective.

If I was addicted, then maybe. Just that I doubt the efficiency of "hypnosis" in actually treating it. Also doesn't help how I've never seen hypnosis being used as a treatment, or how it works even. This is me thinking rationally though, and I dont think you'd consider addicts as rational beings, otherwise addiction would've never gotten the best of them.

I'd probably just outright deny I was addicted. Or even if I did admit it, I'd choose alternatives first since hypnosis seems like it'd make me forget about gambling altogether,  unlike fixing the core problem instead which would still let me gamble, albeit more lightly.

So basically the snap is just to induce what our mind is already believing so it's not really doing anything as per the video which you linked but it can't really help to cure an addiction correct me if I am wrong.

Some people even go beyond that nothing, that is falling into the debt to satisfy their gambling urge which is quite dangerous and can get their life to an end at some point that's why we should never be so obsessed with anything just use it for what it's actually meant to be so here we are talking gambling so it's just mostly for an entertainment and anything beyond can become dangerous.

Do actual physicians resort to hypnosis to cure people? I thought it was always scientific-based unless hypnosis has a background already on the scientific community. I wasn't aware that it was being done already. Maybe hypnosis can be done to those who are ill and need help as well.

I would undergo hypnosis for gambling if I didn't control it anymore.

Its kind of drastic for me to go hypnosis for a treatment in a problem that can be solved without it. It only needs putting more attention to something else besides gambling to stop it.

But its often a preference of a person involved. If they want it then its their way. Theres got to be someone out there who had tried this since there are articles about it which says it takes 3-4 session for the Cognitive behavioral theraphy (CBT). Doesn't sound so bad.

I am not in that situation because gambling is not a problem for me. However, if I had a particularly serious gambling problem I suppose I would do whatever I could to solve it, including hypnosis. I've heard of people quitting smoking with that, but I don't know how it works, but yes, I would try it, especially if a professinal would recommend it to me.

It is still being debated whether therapy to cure addiction through the hypnotic method can have a good effect, because many of these therapies don't work well even though some have been successful, one that I know in my country was when a very famous person used this method to lost weight and it was quite successful because finally, she was able to get the ideal body, but no matter how good the method is if we don't try it will never work to help us get out of addiction.
Another obstacle to applying this method to cure addiction is that there are religions that think this is not a good thing, and if I had to choose I would not choose this because not getting addicted would be better than having to go through treatment because of addiction because a method only it will give a good thing if the patient is willing to follow every instruction but being uncooperative will not have any impact.

if by means of hypnosis my addiction can be cured, why not? I will definitely answer yes.
but in this case I am not an addict anymore because at first I was a gambling addict and recovered in my own way in a little bit of time and if using this hypnotic method is one of the most effective drugs for treating gambling addicts, of course they will be willing and on the other hand they have Recommended by professionals.
but the other question is whether it is safe to do the hypnosis? Of course it will be safe because what I know is that hypnosis is just relaxing, forgetting something bad like thinking about gambling every day and letting go of that thought forever and I think that in this stage there should usually be other support from several factors such as family.
because if an addict is successfully cured with a hypnotic method the family must also keep the person from being close to things related to gambling.

This may seem funny, but why does hypnosis, done by a therapist to cure a person struggling with compulsive gambling, sound like exorcism done by a priest to cast out the demon of compulsive gambling that has possessed the individual? Anyways, no way am I letting anyone do this to me. I have always believed that man is the master of his own fate. The day a compulsive gambler decides to take responsibility and put his/her life in order is the day the hold of gambling over him begins to decline. No therapy, drug, or whatever is needed. Just the individual and their resolute decision.

Consider the possible side effects of this technique before you agree to it, some of the side effects are; source  (https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/hypnosis/about/pac-20394405.)

The side effects are not very terrible if you ask me, and they can be controlled. So I can opt for hypnotherapy if recommended as a solution if I have a serious gambling problem.

Hypnotherapy will not be my only option, but will become an option if other attempts for me to stop gambling has failed.

Problem gambling has had a terrible effect on the life of some people and they know, but they have just been unable to control themselves, any solution to their problem, something that can get them to stop the habit will be an acceptable option.

If it has entered the addiction stage, maybe I will try to use hypnosis techniques to be able to cure my addiction to gambling, because according to some studies hypnosis can help someone get out of addiction. Moreover, hypnosis is actually not as bad as you think, it doesn't make you do anything you don't want, you still have the will to be able to determine what you want to do, the point is that you want to change, that's the most important thing, because if you don't have the will to change from oneself, even hypnosis is useless.

Doing that is not the case, the real case here is if you won’t go back to gambling after being hypnotized for a certain period of time

Now, aside people (probably family and friends) trying to help you out of that addiction, do you personally also want to come out of it?

If yes, all that professional supervision may not even be necessary, you can work your way out of it without being hypnotized

If your gambling addiction is at that level where you need to get it cured by someone who does Hypnosis, you are already fked. And I am sure, you are already without any money left with you. If you still have money by any chance, give it to your parents or invest it in some property or something. Do not gamble. It's not good for your physical and mental health at all.

So true! :)



Good advice.

If gambling starts to "be a problem" first admit to yourself that you have a problem and be honest with your loved ones. If someone does not sincerely want to change, "doctors and medicines" can't help.

Isn't this too much if we are entering such a superstitious thing rather than go with a normal rehabilitation and be cured without hypnosis?
There's lot of ways and it can be done in home or in a facility which specialized in this type of case. Gambling addiction is not like a cancer that will stick to your bones or your blood, it's all just mental. It means we could find a breakthrough to take it out of our system just by being occupied with something else without gambling in our habitual daily life.
IMO, we could go with different recreations, or a vacation might also help just to get it out of our system and see if we will still go back or not.

When being in professional treatment for a gambling addiction I wouldn't expect hypnosis to be part of it. We all know the videos where people got hypnotized and believes they were animals, but to me this was always fake and a form of entertainment. I just can't believe that our own personality can be hidden so easily. Also only seeing it on TV and not in reality makes a big difference. Maybe when I would see it happen to a friend or family member I would start believing it. The problem for any addiction treatment is that we need to believe in the process. When we are sceptical and don't trust it's not going to work. So there might be some people for which this would be a good treatment, but I think for the majority it's not going to work.

This is pretty weird, but I have no background in psychology or hypnosis, but this is some sort of good thing to try if you are addicted to gambling because others said that it is just all about your mind and if you are able to control it, then I think it is possible, but this is not known right now because mostly those addicted to gambling are going to rehab or counseling, which for sure some people wouldn't try or others would try.

I'm curious whether there has been a study stating that Hypnosis can cure gambling addiction, I am a little sceptical about this because if this does work it would be the one being used to treat gambling addiction and other mental illnesses but from what I remember reading in the past CBT(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is usually the one being used to treat mental illnesses.

There may be an improvement if this kind of treatment method is applied for those already addicted in gambling and we have to consider it a chance of 50/50 also consider this kind of therapy to be an expensive one to take and not every gambler can afford payment for such, gambling addiction is just what an individual can also handle by themselves as long as they can maintained a disciplined life and do away with every other things that aid to gambling, which part of the solution is to distant yourself away from having any means of access to gambling.

If I am at the highest of my severity in gambling and there's no other option to help me then that's it, I'll take that willingly. It's like that there's no other option and it's the only thing that can ever cure someone if no one is helping me at my state. Since these are professionals, I'll go with their method and if things will work for me then that's nice. But if not, then that's the time that I'll stop the hypnosis and will have to go by myself for whatever other process that may come to help me.

If the physician already recommend to undergo this procedure then it might be necessary and can be a big help to cure the addiction. However, we know it's not going to be cheap, seeking for professional help to get rid your addiction is expensive already so this additional process is another pain if you're not prepared financially.

Anyway, to answer the question, I believe if you want to overcome your addiction, you really need to help yourself to change what you used to aside from the guidance of a professional people. That being said, if you're willing to change and determine to get rid your addiction then a support of your loved ones plus your willingness would be a great help to overcome the problem that you've been going through.

I do not see why in the case this method was recommended to me and I needed it I would refuse, personally I am in favor of people exhausting every single avenue they can in order to cure themselves of any disease, after all even if the medical treatments of today are very advanced we are not omnipotent, so using alternative therapies could be the only choice you have left to improve, and as such hypnosis could be a good option at that point for those which have tried to leave their gambling addiction behind with more traditional methods and so far they have failed.

To be honest, I'm not sure. There are other ways to cure addiction right? Like going into rehabilitation and such thing. I've heard about hypnosis and how it can be powerful. However, it's my first time hearing about it to cure gambling addiction. If in that situation, I'll just go with the doctor's recommendation on how to stop your addiction. And would probably go with the common way of treating addiction since there are already a lot of cases and would most likely to work.

But I'm curious to know about someone's experience undergoing hypnosis to stop his addiction and how's the result over time. Will it last for a long time? Does it have any effect to the person after undergoing to it? Cause it seems scary tho.

I think it's safe to try health methods if approved by regulation offices. If not I would rather avoid. Its hard for me to assess/consider hypnosis will cure gambling addiction. I personally don't have gambling addiction but I have other kinds. I think focusing through hypnosis to block yourself from gambling may work. Hypnosis feels a bit too dangerous but I personally think it can work. I once watched real hypnosis through a video it was efficient.

Yes, I will if it's a certified and trusted hypnotist we entrusted professionals with our operation on our hearts and brains they have the same level as a surgeon because they are professional as long as they are certified with a good reputation and their method is proven effective.

The medical community will not recommend hypnosis if it has side effects that will harm the patient, so I'll go for it for a fast cure for my addiction.

As far as I know Hypnosis, only lasts as long as the hypnotist is near us, say 2-3 hours, after that those who are hypnotized will regain consciousness, now if I consider that reason, obviously hypnosis is not the best solution to use for those addicted to gambling, we know, maybe there are quite a lot of hypnotists in this world, but I have never seen them directly cure gambling addicts, the final solution is rehabilitation which I often see.

From the article you featured I found one conclusion about hypnosis and gambling addiction.
Example:

My understanding for the quote above, does not guarantee 100% to cure gambling addicts by means of hypnosis, risk.

If I were a heavy gambling addict, I would probably do hypnosis under professional supervision to cure my gambling addiction. Maybe it's not easy to say Yes, but it's for my recovery so I want to try it. But I don't want to go alone and will ask for the help of one or several of my family members and friends to accompany me during the healing period.

Maybe this can also be a solution for gambling addicts so they can cure their gambling addiction. But they must be aware that gambling has caused many problems for them so they feel the need to cure it. But unfortunately, gambling addicts will not feel that they have become addicted to gambling.

As far as I know, there is no cure for gambling addiction. I wish i would never become a gambling addict but if somehow I am a gambling addict and I had tried all means to get myself get rid of this and failed, I would surely give it a try for hypnosis. However, just make sure that we get ourselves treated by the professionals as there are some scammers who call themselves experts of gambling addiction cure but their only motive is to get money from the gambling addicts.

What a pity that gambling addicts first lose money in the form of excessive gambling and then again lose more money when they get themselves with non-professionals claiming themselves to be professional Hypnosis.

You may have more than one solution to overcome your gambling addiction. First of all you will have to stay away from the things that will make you think of gambling even if it is difficult. Keeping family ties strong can be one of them. Being anti-social is inconvenient in terms of gambling addiction and you need to be a social individual.

It doesn't make sense to me to overcome gambling addiction with hypnosis but since this addiction is highly dangerous any method can be tried if necessary. The answer to this question would be “yes i can try”.

Well, who doesn't like getting cured without having to go through medical procedures for any problem that they might have? But, it doesn't work the same way for everyone. Some might get some motivation from somewhere to stop doing something that they are addicted to and then they will make the necessary efforts to make that happen.

But in most cases, addicted people either don't have any reason like that and even if they do, they simply can't focus on them since their mind is totally captured by the addiction and only some therapy or hypnosis or something similar might be able to divert their minds from the addiction.

I dislike addiction and I'll do anything possible to cure it if I ever go done with such condition. I have watched addict destroy those I love and it affected me mentally and I won't want the same thing to happen to does around me that loves me and I love them too.

If hypnosis is the cure to my compulsive addiction and there are no side effects to it and my physician can confirm to be that it is totally safe, I'll undergo it. How bad can it be, I lose control of myself for some minutes or hours and I come back to my senses.

If anything was to go wrong, I'll have to sue both my physician and the person that hypnotized me. Because they put my life at risk and if it was to go as planned, then I thank them with recommending their service so they make more money.

I believe anyone that is so deep into gambling can stop it by his/her determination,all he/she needs is to stay away from whatever makes him to gamble a lot by self discipline. I believe that gambling is for adults and not for children,so if you know that gambling has eaten you up and you feel it is not okay with you anymore,you can quit or go for a long break. Self control and self discipline is the only way to help yourself overcome whatever addiction that you find yourself. Must one need a professional before you can stop your gambling addiction NO. Sometimes,people stop gambling base on the hard lesson that they learnt,either they lost big or their gambling activities led them to a deep mess. Some people also give up gambling for the sake of their loved ones.

Depends on how far we understand what level of gambling addiction we are currently in.

Being addicted to gambling doesn't mean we are showing too much being irresponsible on other things or showing a lack of discipline. There are lots of addicted gamblers who lose big money in the process but are still responsible on the other side of their life.

The question is, are those too much-addicted gamblers can really respond properly to that consultation offer? They will think of that as a disgrace and not respectful towards them. They are blind to the worst things that are currently happening to them.

Responding to the question, you will get a NO from most of us here since we still know what we're doing despite being exposed to gambling. Try to ask that question to those hardcore gamblers that don't think properly anymore.

Personally I would give it a try, if I were in a difficult situation due to gambling addiction, having already tried another traditional methods without success. It's important to notice hypnosis is an efficient method accepted by the science, which has real impact over an individual who was already willing to do what the hypnosis suggests on his mind.

On the other hand, nobody does anything they weren't firstly willing to do, just because they were hypnotized. You have to have a predisposition for the goal you want to achieve for the hypnosis to work efficiently. Example: someone won't kill another person or rob a bank because they were told to do so on a hypnosis session. But it can work nicely if you want to stop smoking, gambling, drinking and don't know how to do this by yourself.

Hypnosis is medically proven treatment. The effectiveness of this treatment can't be evaluated. It is more of a stress reliever therapy that could help with anxiety, fear, smoking, pain etc. How this turns to be effective with gambling cure needs to be understood. Various types of hypnotizing treatments were there. These treatments have got after effects that keeps the person under dizziness, headache and upsets as they forget some incidents. My choice of giving a try with hypnosis therapy happens once after taking few trials of making myself get out of the addiction. In simple, when we're ready to give up gambling through hypnosis why can't we do it of our own.

Honestly, I do think that compulsive gamblers won't try any kind of cure as they are enjoying being like that.

Hypnosis as proven treatment or not, why should they care? Alright, if let's say at some point these gamblers allow themselves to undergo hypnosis or what, it means they recognized the problem therefore they don't actually need that kind of medication as what they will have to fight is the temptation to continue gambling.

I don't know the overall effectiveness rate of that kind of medication but I don't think that's really a big help when we talk about "treating gambling addiction completely". Curing gambling addiction does need a serious approach. It can't be overcome with just a simple hypnosis thing (no offense to believers).

To fully cure gambling addiction, the process requires a big dedication to the person himself with the help of his family and friends.

The answer for me is yes, and this is because, gambling addiction on its own is a serious disease that must not be over looked, it can destroy a man, tear his family apart, and totally make him lose everything, potentially including his life, I personally have heard stories of many gambler who commit suicide after losing every thing and were to ashamed to face the world..

If a man could go through a heart, brain surgery, and other types of surgeries just to keep staying alive, then what exactly is hypnosis that I can't go through to save myself from gambling addiction if recommended by a professional.

I still don't understand how hypnosis could cure gambling addiction which we know that this is a voluntary actions and is not triggered by evil spirit. I double if hypnosis would be able to solve gambling addiction since op can still be urged to go back to his betting activities because of he enjoy playing games and betting. If hypnosis could solve gambling addiction then so many people that are addicted to gambling would have look for ways to get there problems solved without even anyone knowing what they are passing through as an addict.

It may be a proven treatment, but it's not an exact science just yet because its effects cannot be replicated regularly. If they can come up with a clear study about the effects of it then perhaps they can use it on treating gambling addicts gradually, though right now it’s still smokes and mirrors. Behavior wise, I don’t think it’s possible to accomplish anything with hypnosis at this moment, though it’s a promising field so long as they find a way to consistently post same results consistently.

I think you need to consult with it and discuss the idea of hypnosis with your physician or addiction specialist. They can provide insights into the appropriateness of hypnosis for your specific situation, taking into account your overall treatment plan and any underlying health conditions.
Then if it is necessary, why not?
You can assess your own comfort level and level of trust in the hypnosis treatment approach. It is important to feel confident and secure in the chosen method of treatment to maximize its potential benefits.

You would really be needing to make up some discussion whether this one works or not but if you are really that having the plans about solving your addiction issues then you could really done it by yourself.
Also if you are really that on the situation on which you cant help yourself then it isnt bad to seek out for others help and would really be that tending to touch up with these thing but before that you should
really be checking out if there are lots of people who had taken his/her service about hypnosis because if there's none or having less then it do automatically means that it isnt really that effective
because if it does really works then lots of people would be talking about it or something that to be popular. If its really that true then its not bad to give a try which it would be also
a good option for you to take on.

I'd more seek for a professional help rather than hypnosis. One reason is because professionals have license which proves that they know what they are doing unlike with those people who hypnotizes people who only have experience. Professionals would have 'recovery' procedure if ever something bad happen which guarantees one's safety. Professionals won't suggest or recommend their client to unlicensed individuals 'coz that would be unethical. I am aware of how hypnosis works and for sure there are aspects of it which cannot be gauged. How would the hypnosis be limited to gambling alone and not with other behaviors? Which is for me is risky.

I think OP is framing this question in a context where a person has ran out of options and traditional approaches had not given the expected results to control the problem gambling.

It is similar to those who may suffer from stress, for example, and after giving a try to pills and other kinds of medicine with limited results, they decide to go for meditation or oriental medicine, some things works, others do not. The important thing here is not to mix alternative medicine and treatments with quackery, there is where the danger is, in my humble opinion.

What could possibly be a reason for someone to have no other option when an individual still has money to pay for hypnosis. A gambling addict would more than likely bet than pay to hypnotize him. They chase their loss, they can't possibly chase their loss if they pay their money to a psychologist.

Getting broke is more of an option tbh. Once broke they can stop gambling or rob to gamble.

Maybe with hypnosis, someone can cure gambling addiction because as far as I know, hypnosis programs can help block thoughts about gambling addiction so that person doesn't think about gambling. But I don't know exactly how the program works. But what is clear is that a suggestion was instilled into the person while under hypnosis to stay away from gambling; if he approaches gambling, he can feel bad feelings or even regret.

And to participate in this hypnosis program, we should come to an expert who has experience handling cases of addiction to gambling, alcohol, or other things, including removing trauma from something.

I'd say maybe. Of course, there probably are a number of approaches in treating gambling addiction. I will probably have to listen to different professional recommendations first and weigh in on which treatment I prefer.

Personally, however, I'm interested in hypnosis. I'm curious about it. I haven't even known a friend or a loved one who has undergone such process. Perhaps there is also a very limited number of professional psychologists here who have the expertise to use it as a therapy.

If that is the only way to stop me from gambling then yes, but I could control myself and stop when I want or needed to.
But if I am at a situation that I couldn't stop and it is already getting a huge impact on my life then yes I would go and accept it.

I often say in some of the responses in other threads regarding how to stop gambling it's not a matter of having money or not and also using any method just to stop gambling will never work if there is no will and also the intention that arises from the gambler himself.
If a great desire and serious intention to stop gambling has emerged, even if they have to spend quite a lot of money, they will do it happily.
But if there is not the slightest willingness to stop, then don't complain about money being given socialization for free, they will never want to.

If I would be in the worst gambling addiction condition, I will allow a psychiatric professional to do it if necessary. If it will be the only way to help me recover and heal from such an addiction then I would see it as a good process of healing.
But if we don't support our own healing and overcome our urges to gamble, it won't work. The first individual who could aid in our addiction's recovery is us. If we are unwilling to alter our own path, we cannot honestly rely solely on psychologists.
Hypnosis is now a widely accepted treatment for a variety of psychiatric issues, so if it may assist control or completely curing gambling addiction, we should give it a try.

I donno know if hypnosis can actually cure someone of their gambling addictions but notwithstanding if I was in a situation like this that needs medical or therapeutic attention then I wouldn't mind given it a try. But I doubt if this method will be an effective way to cure anyone's gambling addiction permanently as I feel hypnosis can just relay the action of the addict for some time, weeks maybe months and then his or addiction will eventual come back again. I just feel to stop any addiction one needs to be self determined first before any influencing methods can be applied.

I always thought that if you're in trouble you should do everything and try every possible way to get better. This means that I'd try psychotherapy, family support, self exclusion, I'd share my bank accounts with a trusted member of my family, so they could keep track of all my spending and finally, if the opportunity were to arise, try hypnosis.
Worst case scenario it doesn't work and I waste some money, best case, at least one way of fighting my addiction will and I'll get rid of it.

Fortunately I'm not a compulsive gambler who needs that, but it's an interesting topic to think about.

I would prefer the meditation option if I were a compulsive addict. be it a drug addict or a gambling addict. the meditation option, is more widely adopted than the hypnotic option in alternative fashions for curing addictions. however, as you said. for this type of alternative there are successful, some are not. and in my opinion, the same thing if we choose a place of rehabilitation. the fact is, some are cured, some are not. which in essence, every case of addicts has a different method of healing.

But in meditation mode, the positive impact will be better than the hopnotherapy method which is more identical to entering one's subconscious to give certain suggestions. and once again as you said, that the hypnotherapy method does not necessarily work for all gamblers. but if it's for meditation, the benefits we get are quite a lot, including balancing our souls and feelings. not only to let go of addiction, but the benefits that we get are more positive than hypnosis. one of them, healthy our minds.

What I know is that Hypnosis is the act of using things to the other person such as Pendulum to make them fall asleep but it's cool if it can also cure gambling addiction. Right now, I am not totally an addict when it comes to gambling but last time I feel I am almost close to it.

I have most of the signs but luckily I am slowly recovering. For now I don't need a professional help. Maybe for some, they need it but there are reasons on why they fail to do so. One would be is they are too shy to let other people know about their issues. Two is financial problem because professionals always demand a nice amount of money in order to complete the full cycle of our treatment.

Yeah I get your point, but I think  judging  from your post,  it seems one is already determined  to stop gambling  and that was why he took the bold step  to seeing a specialist  and most times, I don't think the patient  will turn down any treatment recommendations  given to him as long it promises to cure him of the addiction.
Hypnosis is a great treatment  recommendation but I think this method  will be made more effective if someone is made to stay with the addict so as to caution  him when the urge to gamble suddey comes.
One of the ways to cure addiction is rehabilitation and it has always been of the surest way to treat such victims.

I think the same, there are circumstances in which you need to exhaust all your options in order to improve no matter how ridiculous you may think the option was at the time, and gambling addiction or any form of addiction is one of those cases, because as we know addictions can completely destroy the lives of the addicted, and a meek attitude towards addictions will only make their symptoms worse, so people need to be ready to do everything they can to get rid of it as soon as possible, as the sooner they do this the higher the chances they will make a complete recovery.

If you are that someone whose been addicted and still have that awareness about on the condition of your addiction then if you have already used and tried all the possible ways on curing it out but still failed then for

sure you would really be going into this kind of idea or methods on which you would be testing this out.It might sound that unusual but in speaking about hypnosis then this isnt something that you could hear out on everyday but sensibly talking about this kind of application on curing up addiction is something that would really be boggling up your mind if it does really work.Of course you wouldnt really be that dumb on testing out something if you dont know its background. If this one or doctor or whatever its called is something known on curing up addiction then its good but if you dont see any records or what
then you wouldnt really be making yourself blind on dealing with this.

Would be cool if you dropped a link as to where it has been used or how it works. Or maybe a scientific article that examines the efficacy of such methods. Looking for it without any luck yet. Hopefully you'll return to elaborate on how it is supposed to help an addict. Real life example would be just what we need to get convinced. That way we may have the right to say whether it would work or not. As for question, no hyponsis please.

And if you really think hypnosis will be your last resort to change for the better, why not?
If it will help you change your path, I would go also for this route. You'll never know the effect on you,
unless you tried such method. There's no harm in trying a route that you think will finally save you from addiction.
This is why I can understand that majority of the poll voters here opted to undergo hypnosis.
Of course, you need to make sure that the person who will do such act is trustworthy and have good intentions for your well-being.

I don't know. OP did not offer any kind of specific context to this imaginary scenario. I would still say it is possible, perhaps someone with a serious problem with gambling could still have a family member who worried about them and is trying to help, not by giving money which would be gambled away anyways, but paying for all possible treatments for the unfortunate person to try, in hopes of improving the condition.

It is something I can see happening, to be honest.

I know myself and the kind of person i am, if i think it's the best alternative for me to embrace then there's nothing bad in going for it as long as i see it work for me, the issue there is that i must not be pushed into it or forced, some things we experience in gambling as an addiction were actually due to frustration, if a man can decided from his heart over a thing, he will sure get it done with time, for some people who has the money and are interested in employing a therapist, it's a good idea as long as they are willing to undergo such process.

Yes will do it but I will make sure that I am under supervision of my close relative so that he can watch over me if something happen like I'm unconscious. If this can help why not? It can be beneficial to anyone if they are cured on method but make sure that we go to legit professional who practice this so that we will not fall on those people telling he can do the job but end up not good to us.

I heard this before but I don't know if someone near me undergo in this procedure.

even though hypnosis is the fastest way to restart someone's mind, especially a gambling addict, but I personally would not want to do that hypnosis

some people say that for the long term, hypnosis will affect someone's mind and maybe i will lose my consciousness in the long term, I'd rather fight myself to stop gambling than do hypnosis

Unfortunately I do not believe in hypnosis, but after seeing this movie "Hypnotic by Ben Affleck" I might have second thoughts because these movies are made based on research and possibilities in real life not always about CGI...

But if it got to a point of me having to see a physician because the gambling addiction was so bad, then why not because any help is better than no help at all,though I think these mental battles can only be won by one's  willingness to change and not others fighting it for you.

Maybe...

in terms of the healing stage it should not be carried out compulsorily and if the conclusive addict is not too severe it will only take a short time to recover.
+1 that a person who is addicted to gambling is a person who is frustrated by losing several times and constantly regrets his defeat and continues to chase his defeat. with this even if there is someone professional who knows your addictive behavior and suggests going to hypnosis it will only be useless before the healing consciousness presents itself.
because it would only be useless to do hypnosis without self-will and in the end it is difficult to be hypnotized.

It is said "if a professional recommend" meaning it is also done by the professionals. Even the professionals themselves believe that hypnosis can work great to cure gambling addiction. Maybe they discover this lately on their new study because I haven't heard of this before but I am curious and very interested about this method.

If only I am suffering from addictions I will not hesitate on trying this. Hypnotizing only involve some tools and as far as I know it does not penetrate you internally so we must be scared about it? I know there are other uses for hypnosis before so no, they are not only limited to gambling. Now that you know some facts about it, won't you still change mind.

     -   When a gambler is addicted to gambling it is not easy to cure and it is not like one night the next day you are not addicted, of course before a gambler falls into addiction it also goes through the passage of time it is not like a It's just a day and it's an addiction.

So the cure for addiction is also in a gambler's decision on how to help himself. That the guidance of his family and close friends is also needed for the quick recovery of his addiction. They will help a lot.

If hypnosis can help a person cure his gambling addiction, he should try it for his own good and be free from it. Maybe there will be more gamblers who want to try it because they must feel pressured by the feeling of gambling addiction.

I think with hypnosis, your mind to gamble will be blocked, and when you are invited by your friends to play gambling, you will firmly refuse. You need a strong will to stop gambling because it's not easy when you already have a gambling addiction. But it's worth a try.

Well, who doesn't want an illness to get cured without having to seek medical care? It is what we want all the time but when we see that our condition isn't getting better and we now need medical attention for sure, that is when we approach a professional medical specialist to treat or cure our illness because we are unable to get out of it ourselves.

The same is the thing about gambling addicts who have gone too deep into it that they cannot come out themselves since they've usually lost control of their minds, and that is the reason why they might need to go through such things only to get out of their addiction because it is causing them issues.

That's just a "horror action" type of movie and has nothing to do with reality. I mean there are aliens attacking worlds in some movies, doesn't mean that's true. Realize that even if it is not CGI or anything, the "research" could be about made up things that people say as well.

People are still not aware that signs are fake as well, just because you were born on a certain day doesn't mean that you are going to be similar to everyone who was born that same day as well, we are going to end up with people who are going to be different even if they were born on the same exact minute. So believe me, hypnosis is a lie, and has been proven a million times, and all those people who act like it works, faking it and they are just scammers. Even the "customer" is 100% in on it and not real for sure.

If I were someone who is addicted to gambling and also who have exhausted all means to cure such addiction, I would actually consider hypnosis as a "last resort" in order to cure such addiction. I do think that there is nothing wrong with this kind of method given that it has a good purpose and means, which is ultimately to cure gambling addiction.

Though some may argue that hypnosis may bring other effects, I do believe that the pros weigh the cons of such method. Lastly, I do not think that it will be such detrimental as nothing would happen significantly if this were to be done.

I just hope that there is a scientific basis for this kind of treatment with addiction. Though it may be a case-to-case basis, the fact that it has a certain degree of curing such addiction means that it is indeed possible as an alternative treatment.

Yes, and they are willing to help to a person who falls into addiction. But the thing is it is cost something but if it will help you to fully recovered your mind and all things about you then it is worth to be pay for. Falling in addiction is really a hard thing, hard to get out in that darkness wherein people also around you might be affected in your behavior so better to consult now.

If they werent that effective then it wouldnt really be coming into a point on which they would really be known or there would be saying or talking about its popularity or something like this. We know that hypnosis is something that would really be having that kind of temporary effect and im not really that into such belief that it would be able to cure out gambling addiction. Well if we do speak about temporal basis then it might
be but if we do talk about completely solved out addiction problems then it is really hard to believe.We know that this isnt something that could be cured out with just simply hypnotizing people and telling them to stop.
I dont know if there are people who had been cured out with this kind of method but just like i have said earlier that if it wasnt really effective then it wont really be coming into a point on which it would really be
spreading out this kind of method.In overall it isnt really that something that you could really make yourself that so sure that it would really be something beneficial.
If you are a gambling addict and tried out lots of options about solving your addiction then for sure you would really be diving in with this kind of choice or option as you wouldnt
really be having any other choices left specially if you couldnt quit up on your own.

You are right, the course of getting addicted to gambling and breaking free from it does involve process which means neither of the two happens instantaneously, but also, we should always remember that both does not require the same time frame, its like the law of building and destroying, building is way harder and takes great time and effort, in addiction, It works the other way round, getting addicted is way easier than getting free from addiction, the process of getting free from addiction requires patience and self determination, then before help from other sources comes on.

I consider it natural that if people spend a great deal of money on their journey towards their addiction that they also need to spend some money in order to improve, however spending money is the easy part, as by far the most difficult part is to resist the temptation of going back to their old ways and gamble again, a temptation which is very difficult to overcome as it is likely that such a person has been gambling for months or even years and now that they are trying to stop they do not even remember how their life was before their gambling addiction took over their lives.

Someone lime me will definitely prefer using the money to employ a professional therapist to perform hypnosis for playing bets, maybe i could whine away little more times or get myself busy watching movies on that aspects, i must just apply wisdom in all things.


On an average level with adequate reasonings, why should someone wait till it all get over him like the marrow in the bone befoe finding a solution, the best practice or prevention is to ensure a more disciplined gambler's kind of lifestyle.

Dude, you've blown the lid off Pandora's box, tossing around this whole hypnosis gig. Hypnotherapy as the antidote for gambling affliction? Makes me feel like I'm leafing through the pages of a Neal Stephenson novel! But, I'm not here to pour cold water on your groundbreaking epiphanies. Firstly, I don't wield a medical diploma, but my excursions deep into the enigmatic cryptosphere have instilled in me a profound reverence for the capabilities of the human psyche. If the professionals in white coats are lauding hypnotherapy as a plausible remedy, who am I to dispute? Science, my friend, is in a constant state of metamorphosis. Today's 'fantastical' could be the game-changing discovery of the morrow.

However, it's crucial to realize that hypnosis doesn't function as an enchanted 'erase' key for addiction. It's an instrument. Employed judiciously, it can be a genuine catalyst for change. Misused, and you could be spiralling down a rabbit hole with a newfound infatuation for magic cabarets. Therefore, prior to securing that appointment with the hypnotist, remember, it fundamentally boils down to your mental framework. Just as one perseveres through the bearish onslaught in the Bitcoin market, overcoming addiction demands tenacity and fortitude. Hypnosis isn't the silver bullet that absolves you of all the effort.

But if these people do not have the money to join a gambling addiction recovery program, this cannot be resolved and only adds to the burden on the family. Those addicted to gambling will find it difficult to cure them unless there is assistance from the government for people who are addicted to gambling so that they can cure them with funds provided by the government. But it seems that if there is assistance from the government, they cannot cover it in full but give a small discount. Hopefully, there will be more facilities that the government can provide to cure people who are addicted to gambling so that the problem of gambling addiction can be resolved properly.

I see that hypnosis can actually clear someone's addictions to something but they don't last forever because everything with hypnosis is just temporary and you really need to consult a real psychiatrist to help you have rational thinking on how to stop your gambling addiction and will help you to avoid its causes because some addiction doesn't get cured in just short period rather it needs real times like months or a year until it finally totally disappears from you.

from the information I heard, someone who is really undergoing hypnosis therapy, must regularly visit the expert who gives him the therapy so that his addiction does not recur, moreover hypnosis gives false memories to his patients so that to maintain these memories requires routine treatment. "I will definitely undergo hypnosis therapy if my gambling habit has reached an alarming level, I'm just afraid that my small family will be displaced due to the gambling addiction that I suffer".

There are a lot of myths regarding hypnosis, but it is just another form of therapy, and with this in mind it is entirely possible that it fails if the person is not committed enough to overcome their compulsions, in a way those myths which surround hypnosis as this magical method which allow someone to go through an abrupt personality change hamper instead of helping hypnosis, as once people realize hypnosis is not what they thought it was then they could relapse and gamble again in no time at all.

Using hypnosis to overcome gambling addiction has a 50/50 probability of success because most addicted victims referred to their former lifestyle and failed to embrace the new one. Consulting a psychiatrist is an excellent way, but I would rather that the addict go through the proper natural process, which includes discipline and determination, as well as complete abstinence from all gambling-related activities. You are completely correct; it is just temporary, and if the gambling addict returns to gambling, it may be far worse than before.
