Recovery from Alcoholism
Alcohol abusers often feel that their failure to get clean is because they are hopeless addicts. They may spend time in rehab centers, where the motive is to rid the body of the toxic chemicals, but incomplete work is put into resolving the core beliefs and emotions driving the urge and compulsion. And so the alcohol abusers, unable to find permanent relief, tragically accept the belief that complete recovery is impossible. They are often told that the best they can do for themselves is manage their disease, because it is a lifetime addiction. Hence, being an alcoholic or a recovering alcoholic at best, becomes their lifetime label.
The healing work I offer the alcohol abuser provides a different understanding. An understanding that the mind and body are intrinsically connected and physiological health or rebalancing of the body chemistry is dependent on emotional health. In other words, alcoholism is viewed as a symptom of emotional ill health and is the result of deeply seeded unresolved emotional and thought patterns of the inner mind. Creating emotional health is the basis for complete recovery of alcoholism.
The addictive symptoms are physically and emotionally painful and overwhelming. They include physical aches and perfuse sweating, extreme feelings of fear and overall depression. Unable to find relief of their emotional pain and physical discomfort, the user resorts to what they know best, alcohol, and the vicious cycle of abusing alcohol becomes deeper entrenched. Their belief of failure and being a hopeless addict is reaffirmed.
As with all substance abuse, complete recovery from alcoholism must happen in several respects. First and foremost is to have a personal honest willingness and desire to heal and become alcohol free. Then it is vital for a user to honestly believe that complete recovery and a lifetime change is absolutely possible for them. Thirdly, it is important for the person to realize that cheating with a few alcohol drinks can perpetuate the chemical imbalance and can refuel self-destructive thought and emotional patterns. I strongly encourage clients coming to me for alcohol recovery to also receive help for physical detoxification, while emotional health and taking back control of their lives is found though hypnosis.
It has been my experience to see clients have some wonderful change in just a few hypnosis sessions. Clients can quickly begin to reclaim feelings of worthiness, inner strength and renewed ease of mind and body. Although the hypnotic process does offer rapid change, successful and full recovery is found when an individual remains committed and completes a series of sessions. This assures good mental cleansing of old toxic emotional energy, and allows healthy thought and belief patterns to dominate the mind. The symptom of alcoholism can then release completely, along with the label.
