Sharing my knowledge on hypnotherapy and gambling addiction.

[Coin_info]

Hypnotherapy have facts to prove that it is indeed helpful against some negative behaviors and perceptions. But how about gambling addiction? It still can because of the nature of hypnotherapy which can target the triggers for the gambling behavior and in the hypnotic states the therapist can help a person to build self control become more aware of the triggers to be better prepared to handle it when it comes and then help them reinforce motivation that can promote quitting.

If it sounds so simple, someone will ask why it is not widely practiced to help reduce the number of persons addicted to gambling, same question I asked myself, but further research showed me that it has more success on paper, than it actually has had physically and this is because of some other factors like

• willingness of the person to change, because the procedure requires an individual who is really willing to change and be better.
• Method of therapy

A gambler must first be willing and committed to changing while opting to do hypnotherapy because only that way can the process be effective.
About THE METHOD OF THERAPY, Hypnotherapy on its own will not be effective. For effectiveness, it has to be done alongside other treatment options, that is combined therapy (CBT).

If you have experienced psychological problems about serious gambling addiction, of course doing therapy method or hypnotherapy cannot solve your gambling addiction instantly very much to other solutions or several sessions to overcome addiction.

But if gambling addiction has not reached a high level, maybe doing hypnotherapy can still be overcome, of course done by their trained hypnotherapy or certified hypnotherapy, At least in overcoming anxiety, depression or to increase self -confidence for the addict itself.

As far as I know those who are addicted to gambling hypnotherapy methods are done as an addition, in addition to them routinely to treat symptoms or health conditions in certain places, hypnotherapy is not the main behavior in overcoming gambling addiction.

Just like every other forms of therapy this also works when the gambler is putting in effort to change his lifestyle. Some people don't really want to change but they just go for therapy just so people around them can see that they are doing what they can and there are those who go for therapy that are fed up of what this addiction has done to them and they want to take a new leaf, this are the people that can get the results of therapy

It’s one of the suggested means or methods to cure addiction, but not all can be cured under hypnosis. There are people with strong personalities for whom hypnosis will have no effect.

Which is why the physician prefers to do other therapies, such as a change of behavior, by using methods of diversification and taking medicines to calm the nerves, to stop the agitation when the patient is having an anxiety attack, because of the yearn to gamble.

The physician needs to asses the patient if hypnotherapy can be applied and the duration that it can be applied, because there are certain risks doing hypnotherapy on one.

It only proves the method only works for people who really are determined to get out of his situation and he may not even need to be hypnotized cause he can do it himself without the need for therapy as long as he just do it harder.

There are people who could really just ignore his addiction to gambling and will just divert attention. Or probably will just gradually do something else til he forgets about his addiction.

[Agbamoni]

The essence of hypnotherapy is to help people break bad habit. In this case addiction is more of a bad habit in gambling which the need to eliminate it should be priority. Anyway, I dont think the hypnotherapy idea can help in this case if the gambler does not yield in trying to change when he is not in session. It takes one who is willing to let go of addiction. Nothing can change his mind if he is not ready, even after going for hypnotherapy ones he gets hope he will get back to gambling irresponsibly.

Gambling can be stopped with will power and self control. You do not need therapy combined with other treatments, simply act like a responsible adult.

[AVE5]

The Hypnotherapist is a psychological therapist who focuses on reinstating lost criterias of humans characters. It could be addiction, emotional trauma's as a result of loosing self control or responsibility.
While these can help in reviving addicted gamblers, it can only be effective if the victim has been willing to make changes.
Quitting or rebalancing state of being from addiction is primarily aimed at the victims mindedness if not, to heal and heaven unwilling to stop addiction victims might give all necessary attentions on the the therapist and still remains in the same cage they they'd always act ignorant and adamant.

I completely agree with you. Hypnotherapy definitely has potential when it comes to addressing certain negative behavioral patterns, including gambling addiction, but the reality is a bit more complex.

One of the key factors, as you mentioned, is the person’s willingness to change. Without internal motivation and readiness to begin the recovery process, no therapy  not even hypnotherapy will have a real effect. People often expect quick solutions, but the process of change, especially with addiction, takes time, effort, and honest work on oneself.

[red4slash]

Actually in this case I think therapy or hypnotherapy is still very much possible but why is this not done for those who gamble for several reasons.

The first is that sometimes gambling addicts feel they are always fine unlike other addictions such as drugs or others which will certainly have a little side effect when there are different symptoms with gambling because the addiction will not be seen so that when there is someone who wants to do hypnotherapy then it must be based on the intention of the gambler himself. In the event that you're looking for the most effective way to get the most out of your home, then you've come to the right place.

So the context is not that it cannot be cured but there are some things where the rejection from the beginning occurs which makes the situation a little difficult because the gamblers think that they are fine and do not need anything for healing even though they are already affected by the effects of addiction.

Just complicating simple things... anyone who wants to stop gambling simply needs to dedicate themselves to other activities. And there are so many things that can be done without any costs, and those things can be very positive for mental and physical health... Start running, exercising, reading, dedicate yourself to your family, there are so many fun hobbies... Just stand up and start doing something, because if you are sitting down & crying about life & how boring everything is, nothing positive will happen.

If the gambling addict can still think well, it means that he is not experiencing a situation that has led to depression, and his mind is chaotic. Hypnotherapy can still be done with several meeting sessions with experts. The process will not be easy, but it can actually be done to overcome gambling addiction so that they do not experience mental pressure. I think the benefits are more in preventing the consequences of gambling addiction behavior.

[Fortify]

I'm usually quite conservative when talking about most subjects but hypnotism is definitely very curious and unexplained. I do believe that there is a way to reach into the subconscious and possibly manipulate it in ways that might be able to heal and stop an addiction. I've had friends who have had hypnotherapy in order to stop smoking and it has worked well for them, but like anything.. there will be people who promise certain results but do not have the skills to really provide them, so you need to be careful with your research and who you choose. I always find it interesting to see stage shows where people genuinely look like they are under a spell and maybe it is just certain people, they could be more receptive, but they can be hypnotized.

What we are after for using a particular approach in dealing with our developed gambling behavior have to come in alignment to our specific needs and target, which we may try to work towards making such adjustments before the approach could be effective, we are the ones to personally make it happen, when we discover about our weakness and also try to adopt the chances for the change we want to come in place, it may not have to be an addiction on gambling alone, but about every other aspects we desire the effectiveness of a change.

It is not always as easy as you make it seem and you should pray you don't get addicted in something, be it gambling, drugs or anything. At some point, you would think that gambling addiction is spiritual because you cannot just stop yourself no matter how hard you try. I don't know how far will power can take an addicted gambler but I know it is not enough to handle a case of addiction, that is why seeking professional help is always recommended. Although not everyone went through a therapist but it is always better to talk to someone about it as that will produce faster result than handling it alone.

I have had a relative who was an addict. From what I could tell, addiction is a disease that creates many problems for all the people who are relatives and close friends of the addicted person. The relatives need to make very tough decisions, not in the sense of physically and psychologically hurting the addicted person

but in the sense that they take the addicted person to a clinic where they will be isolated from the outside world and online. Only after many months of isolation, without access to the internet and the person engaging in other activities that make them happy, will they be cured of their gambling addiction.

If you MUST have the gambler be willing to stop, then what's the point of the therapy? Sounds to me like a bunch of nonsense where some quack is trying to make a buck fooling people. If you cannot guarantee your service works, you shouldn't be offering it. Not you personally, just talking about a therapist in general.

Just more nonsense to get you paying for more services.

For this hypnotherapy to work the gambler must have the willingness to change. Hypnosis is something that therapist do to penetrate the minds of people to help them recover from whatever it is they are dealing with but the person must be willing to change. Personally, I don't think therapy is necessary, everyone is capable of making a change on their own as long as they put in consistent effort and discipline

[Obim34]

You sound so confident, do you have any study history that therapy don't help subdue gambling addiction.

If you are too responsibly minded not to pay attention that others are nothing as such, you should know that being an adult has nothing to do with restraining from addiction, have you heard the saying, "Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak".

Putting consistent effort and discipline may work for some people most especially for people that haven't gone far or dip into gambling otherwise it will only take the grace of God for such person to stop gambling because whatsoever that has entered or mixed with blood is always difficult to remove or separate easily. So while some people haven't went dip into gambling it is advise they remain like that because addiction is a very big sickness that is almost as equivalent as poverty, so we are suppose to operate at the surface and should not go inside because it is very tough and crazy inside.
